I do do not have the possibility of creating an ad hoc wireless network in vista professional.

I am trying to set up an ad-hoc connection, however I'll add a connection through the connection manager and the options for connection type are available with the exception of ad-hoc.   Is it possible to activate this in vista professional.  My options are currently in the box add a login section are only: Internet, point of access, manual connection, dial-up and VPN.

Thank you

Hi hkwinger,

It seems as the hardware is not supported the feature.  Check the model of your wireless adapter and the router, go to the manufacturing site and check see if these models support the functionality of ad hoc network first.

Let us know if it helps to solve the problem,

  • When windows asks me to isnert a password recovery disk, it does not offer the possibility to create one in the D drive, where I have a DVD. Why?

    I have a new Dell XPS with Windows 7 Home computer. I want to create a password recovery disk. I have (1) check my CD/DVD drive works (2), I watched the video on how to create a password reset disk (3) I did the procedure successfully in the past on other computers (4) I rebooted the computer after having difficulty finding the opportunity to insert a disk in drive D, the name of the drive for my DVD / CD player. What is the problem?

    The problem is that when I am asked to insert a disc in the player I'd give myself a choice is not drive D, the name of the drive to my CD/DVD drive.
    So over and over again once I wonder to insert the disc. I also have one of these drives you can put 4 holders memory size different from the type used in cameras and I have a DVD player, it is called D drive.  Why I'm not given the option to use drive D when I'm given a choice I can insert a disc so that the password recovery disk can be created?

    Change the assignment of drive letter for the dvd player to one letter other than.

    1. sign the computer as an administrator.

    2. Insert a disk in the removable drive.

    3. type computer management in the start search box and press ENTER.

    4. click on disk management.

    5 right-click the partition, logical drive or volume that you want to change and then clickchange drive letter and paths.

    6. click on the removable drive, click it, clickchange, click the drive letter that you want to use, and then clickOK.

  • Can not get the new laptop to connect to my wireless network but connects to others

    I have just bought a new laptop Dell Inspiron 1545 to Dell.com and have tried to set up the wireless internet for the past hours. The laptop running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, & my wireless router is an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (about 4-5 years). Below is a list of problems / advice I've come across so far:

    (1) when trying to connect to a network, my network don't appears in the list of local networks sporadically even if she lost the signal strength of any nearby wireless signal (I must refresh the list to make it appear sometimes)
    (2) when my network is displayed in the list, it is described as a network that is not secure; There are 2 others that come and go in the list that are also not guaranteed, but I was able to connect through one of them.
    (3) when I try to connect via my network it either says unable to connect immediately or poster progress bar, then after a minute or two, says that it cannot connect.
    -to diagnose the problem, I can exclude is not not in the range of my camera as I tried to connect when I'm 2 feet more far
    -It also says view wireless connections again and try again, but this brings me to the same screen
    -L' diagnostics screen mentions that "the network is"hidden"and is either not in range of this computer or wireless settings on this computer do not match the settings of the network." (is there a setting I'm familiar with that?)
    (4) I checked device drivers and all said that they are working correctly
    (5) I can connect to the internet via a direct connection to the router via a cable ethernet not wireless

    In my view, that it is all the information I can provide about this problem. If you need more information, such as the specifications of the system, let me know where to find them and I will re-post. Thanks in advance for any help provided.

    Well, it looks like the old router was the problem. You have a new N Wireless for about $80 as suggested and it works like a charm. At took 5 seconds for your laptop to recognize and connect to it and were without problems since then. Thanks again for the help guys... I hope that I won't bother you again =)

    You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.

    Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.

    =====================================
    Just one question... when done scanning and recording of the scans...
    you select the options to reduce the file size by compressing
    the photos?

    If you have only a few of these scans... you could open their
    one at a time in Windows Paint and go to... File / save as...
    Enter a new name, choose a backup folder and choose .jpg.
    This will create a new version of the same photo and I suspect
    It will be compatible with Windows Photo Gallery.

    Also... it may be interesting to try to install Windows Live Photo Gallery.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Download Windows live Photo Gallery
    http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Photo-Gallery
    (There are other applications included in the download...
    Uncheck the ones you don't want)

    No guarantee... but there is a possibility that reinstall
    DirectX can improve this problem.

  • I do not have the Firefox button at the top of my screen.

    I do not have the Firefox button at the top of my screen, so cannot use any of the functions it controls. I don't have the round symbol of Firefox, but when I right click or click on it, I get only the menu for mazimizing, minimizing or closing the application. I can't find all the information on the site of Mozuilla on how to solve this problem and would welcome any advice I can get. My operating system is Windows 7 Professional. Thank you.

    You probably have your active Menu bar. I think you can use one or the other. To activate your favicon Orange Firefox, right-click on the empty upper part of the browser (next to your tabs) and uncheck the menu bar. I hope this helps.
