T430 cannot connect to WiFi unless the battery is removed and then re-installed
Had trouble with t430 a colleague. It is impossible to connect to the WiFi unless the battery is removed and then reinserted. Once connected WiFi is strong and reliable. This seems to have started a few weeks without any notice. I think of a power setting? I also tried to replace the battery and the same problem. The two batteries hold high loads and are in a State of 'good '. Any suggestions?
Solution has been update power settings to the driver does not allow the computer to turn off device to save power.

original title: WMP9 re-setup
Hello. I use XP SP3 with all post-SP3 updates critical. Windows Media Player 9 does not work. When I try to reinstall, I'm stuck: the 9xmigrat.dll of file on (unknown) you need to type the path where the file is located and then click ok. I like WMP9 and do not want to use a newer version of WMP. I was not able to find 9xmigrat.dll
This happens when I try installing to wmp.inf.
If I try to install the MPSetupXP.exe, it does not either.
Any ideas? TIA
Thank you, David. It seems that the problem was caused by incorporating the updates for WMP9 using nLite. I made another CD of installation excluding these updates. A clean install of XP SP3 and WMP9 is working. Thank you for your response.

I try to connect my Acer Vista laptop for HP Officejet 7310 printer using a wireless connection. The printer is connected to a Dell XPS running Windows 7. Is there a way to do this?
Hello
Printers use a built-in wireless card and plug it into a power source, not your network or computer. After turning on the printer, you must refer to the documentation that came with the printer to set up a wireless connection for each computer.
I suggest you to download and install drivers from the link below

I can't create an installer on LabView, after install the Vision Builder demo and then uninstall it. I can't create a Labview Installer more, he asks me an installer of generator of Vision, even if Labview my program does not have nothing to do with it...
Hi, Shada, this can happen if you include additional installers to your installer for example DAQmx. When you do this the installation program must include other files like MAX (Measuremente and Automation Explorer). Probably when you installed Vision Builder he updated MAX, so when your Installer try to understand MAX, his request the source where it was installed in your computer in this case Vision Builder.
Here you can cache information so it is not asked once again, or you can download a version more recent fo DAQmx, then it will update MAX and change the dependecy.
You can find more details about it in this KB:

English language pack or re-install Win8.1 English?
I am about to receive an Inspiron 17 7000, but because of my location, it was only possible to buy a system with version 8.1 of Windows Pro in Dutch only. I want only one interface in English on the laptop, so I guess I have two choices
(1) get it operational and then install the English language pack. And never use the Dutch user interface yet ;-)
(2) complete re-install with Windows 8.1 Pro English. I have access to a license (I have a Microsoft MSDN subscription) so it's not a problem. But some time ago I did it and I just start reading on Secure Boot UEFI and so on. And more important still, I wonder if that mess up my warranty/maintenance somehow?
For simplicity, I'm tempted by the first option. But limitations or restrictions compared to the second?
Appreciate any suggestions?
DaveKaretnyk,
It would be much easier that you just install the English language pack.

I can't install the English language pack more.
One day, I clicked on remove language pack by mistake.
At that point, I stopped all of a sudden, but it did not work. So I turned off my laptop by pressing power botton long.
And I just wanted to remove this package completely and install again.
I did it. I uninstalled the English language pack and downloaded again.
However, I can not install successfully over.
Every time when I failed, this message appeared, English language pack - Windows 8 for x 64 systems - (kb2607607) [en-us_lp].
How I can solve this problem.
I think I must completely remove it again before its installation. How can I do?

c. Select the language pack that you want to Uninstall and click Remove.
