I have a 1998 Sony Viao space I can't connect to my DSL.

I am working on a Dell computer, but I have a 1998 Sony Viao has a ton more memory space and is much faster.  I installed Windows XP and bought and installed a Belkin USB 2.0 Ethernet adapter.  Still not connect to my DSL.  Been through the menu thte internet tools, have tried all different connections.  Nothing seems to work, it does not connect to my DSL.  Any advice on what to do next?

Hello

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. What happens when you try to connect using Internet explorer?
  3. You have security software installed on the computer?

Method 1

Check out the articles below and try the steps mentioned, check if it helps.

You receive a message "Limited or no connectivity" on a computer that is connected to the Internet by a DSL modem or a modem cable after installing Windows XP Service Pack 2

Method 2

If the previous step fails, see if the problem persists in safe mode with network mode.

Method 3

If the problem does not persist in safe mode with network then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

Reset the computer to start as usual

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  • iPod classic. PC I have had all my music on died. can I connect iPod to my new Mac Office and store the music on the iPod in the cloud?

    I have an iPod classic 5th generation which has all my music on it. I had an old office that was on original music and he's dead. Now, I have a Mac desktop and other products, apple, iPhone, apple tv, Mac laptop, etc.  How can I get the music from classic iPod in the cloud so I can access it on all my other devices?

    Ideally, you have a backup of your user data from your old computer, including your iTunes data, and you can transfer data from iTunes on your Mac.

    By design, iTunes sync is generally in one direction, from the iTunes library on your computer to the iPod.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer files of song from iPod to computer, with the exception of songs purchased on the iTunes Store (you can also re - download on iTunes Store free of charge).  However, there are methods and third party utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like 'ipod music transfer', you should get a few useful links.  Once the files of the song on the drive of your Mac, add them to your current iTunes library.

    If you want to make your library iTunes music accessible to other computers and devices (compatible), you own, you need to subscribe to Match iTunes (or Apple's music) gives you a library music to iCloud.

    And since you are using a Mac now, don't forget TSF function built-in Time Machine an external drive, allows you to save all your data automatically.  (iPods are not intended for backup data iTunes).

    You will use your information to Snapfish for ePrint newspaper, and if you get wrong to remember that or if you want to change any of this information, you can do so through Snapfish that will transport you to the thread at ePrint.

    You may need to do this anyway in case the password for Snapfish is not strong enough for ePrintCenter.

    Hello

    Check this location of registry for Upper and Lower filters...

    They will appear on the right after clicking on the location of Reg...

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4d36e965-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

    Remove all entries found perhaps restore your disk, but can also cause something to stop working...

    Maybe you can identify the program causing the problem with the name of the filter and update...

    An example of this is iTunes... It uses a "GEAR" driver that can cause problems...

    Install the most recent usually solves the problem...

  • How do I reinstall my windows XP on my Sony Viao computer original.

    I have a Sony Viao desktop computer.  It crashed a couple of years, so I had a friend rebuild.  It works under Windows XP.  However, since it has rebuilt it or what they call, I get the warning message that I have a license invalid window.  So I have not been able to have Windows installed on my computer updates now at least 2 years.  I do not have the certificate original hologram of authenticity from Sony, but it says: Microsoft Works 7.0, Microsoft Money 2004, Agie of Empires 2.0 and Microsoft Encarta online.  Is this really my appropriate Windows certificate?  I can't get the updates of windows. I am at a loss to know what to do.  Help, please.  If I'm missing any information that might help you to help me, please let me know.  How to put on my Windows XP Home?   My recovery thing is missing, too. Thank you very much.  Penny.

    Try typing F8, all as the leaves Sony logo and before Windows starts to load and watch and see if you see any kind of system recovery options. Most OEM PC (Dell, HP, IBM, Sony, etc.) come with a hidden restore partition. If you can find look for an option to restore the computer to factory default specifications. Good luck!!

  • I have a Sony E-Reader. Can I transfer books from my library of books I have on my Sony camera and similarly in my library of books I have on my Sony camera?

    I have a Sony E-Reader. Can I transfer books from my library of books I have on my Sony camera and likewise my Sony camera to my library of books I?

    I believe that if you open iBooks, you can drag and drop books from your library on the desktop of your Macbook. It will export the books as an Epub file, you can install on your Ereader as you normally would.

    I think that you open your Ereader in Finder and drag and drop it in the folder it. At least this is how I do it on my Kindle.

    Give it a try, see if it works for you also.

    Concession.

    iCloud is a synchronization service, NOT off of storage of the unit.

    You could cut the phone out of sync from your library. Just move them to your Mac and synchronize your Mac with iCloud. Now, you'll have plenty of space on your phone, but no pictures.

    From your Mac, you can then make an album with photos that you want to access from your phone. This will require ongoing work, but will keep your clear phone in most of the time.
