How to set up the WiFi Windows Vista

Title of the Moose: pensioner frustrated

I have the O2 broadband & router, a laptop HP Vista Home Premium and now a Canon Pixma MG6150 printer. I am trying to set up wireless printing and the printer asks me for the WEP consisting of 5 to 23 characters; but on the router, the specified WEP key is a letter and 9 our thought to temporarily use the Ethernet cable (provided with the router) to connect the laptop and printer - would this work? Otherwise, no help here please?

    Hey nic,.

    You must give us more details about your problem. Your explanation is very deep and so it might be a little hard to give exactly the instructions how to resolve you this problem.

    First you make sure if your wireless network card is listed in the device correctly without yellow exclamation point Manager.
    Then, make sure that the WIFI is enabled with the hardware switch and FN + F8.

    You see the WLAN router if you are looking for WIFI networks at your fingertips? If so, can you connect or you get an IP address?
    Also check the DHCP of your laptop configuration and disable the Save function in the energy WLAN Vista power management.

    I use my Satellite as a second computer. My PC is primary and is using a NETGEAR card.

    I used a card reminder in wireless cards because my home office is a bit far from the PC.

    Of course, my laptop has its own part of the ways to get online.

    I've always taken for granted connection. I don't even remember the 1st time I am connected. In fact an engineer could have done to the delivery!

    PC had problems connecting. Host Web server problems. I was expecting sort of my laptop to connect in any case, as it could / should connect to it's own wireless installation to get online. I'm not an expert as you realize.

    It dawned on me while I had no idea how to switch on and connect using the built-in wireless card that not Netgear obviously. Or I'm expecting a lot and the lap top is actually a slave to my PC connection and always will home in on the netgear connection.

    BTW, I'm back online via the netgear but would like to know. Excuse my ignorance...

    Then configure settings such as the SSID, encryption, Mac address, etc. by using windows has the configuration settings or 3rd party software like utility Intel ProSet or Atheros client utility (depending on the Wlan card).

  • How to set up the order of priority of a start-up program

    Hello

    I'm using Pavilion laptop dv7-2110, Windows Vista 64 bit PC.

    Can someone explain to me how to set up the order of priority of a startup programs.

    Problem: Kaspersky Internet Security appeaps on the taskbar after Skype Torrent etc.

    Thank you in advance.

    You can access the start utility by typing "msconfig" in the start menu-> "search programs and files". From there, go to the Startup tab and you can select the programs to start and which not.

    Regarding the priority, I don't think there is a way, anyway you shouldn't be worried that your anti-virus starts just after other programs that it does not put you in danger.

    If you wish for a quick start you should probably disable most of the non-critical programs in the list, don't worry you do not break your computer if you uncheck anything that you don't know what it is, but I recommend that you don't have before checking what it is.

    Hope this helps

    How to get a CD of windows vista?

    If you want to buy Vista, you'd have to try online at: Newegg, Amazon, etc.

    Or try your local computer repair shop.

    If you are referring to the recovery disks, or reinstall Vista:

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    The tuner is already configured!
