  • I have re-installed Windows Vista on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1525) and now my wireless does not work.

    Hi, I have re-installed Windows Vista on my laptop (dell insparon) 1525 and now my wireless does not work. ive tried re installing driver, but it says operating system not supported. I used the disc that came with the computer of the re install and I even tried to install service pack 1. .

    original title: Wireless problems after install.

    I just tried both, the dell is one that says OS not supported"and the intel, it went very well, but my 'network controller' still have a yellow top thing in Device Manager. and I always wireless. any other ideas? Thank you for the help

    Question...  You have whatever it is listed in the "Network adapters" section of "Device Manager" now?

    While ensuring that the exclamation point is not for your wired network device (plausible) or bluetooth (plausible) and you just need to configure your wireless network to connect to * your * wireless network now.

    You may have to contact Dell to see why none of their drivers receive your wireless device works on the original operating system, what they included.  This could be a hardware problem PURE.

  • My computer turns off during an update to windows xp and now windows xp will not load.

    My computer turns off during an update to windows xp and now windows xp will not load.  It gives me the option of last known good configuration and safe mode startup and normal startup, but it just goes back to the loading screen then flashes a blue error screen then back to display boot options.  I don't have a recovery disc as the laptop does not have a CD-ROM drive or a floppy drive.  I have the product key, but I don't know where or how repair the operating system.

    Contact the manufacturer of your laptop as there must be a way to restore the computer. There may be a hidden restore partition.

    Hey Brian39

    If you change the motherboard that you normally have to reinstall vista

    your hard drive if you ever reinstalled vista contains the drivers for the old motherboard etc.

    and if vista is pre-installed you can not put the motherboard unless you do so in collaboration with the computer manufacturer

    If a retail license, you can change the motherboard

    but you will normally always reinstall vista for reasons

  • Installed a new hard drive and now Windows XP will not activate.

    Resettlement on new disc

    Hey there-

    I bought a new SSD, had it installed and installed Windows XP by using a Setup disk I had laying around.  He wants to be activated (even if the original installation is always on the computer, but on the 'slave', non-Boot drive).  When I try to use the activation code that was on the original hard disk, it will not work.  On the last 10-15 years, of which several were recovered for parts, I bought at least a half dozen computers with Windows XP (i.e., I have many more devices running Windows XP licenses).  I tried to enter codes Activation of certain decisions which have been taken down, and I can't at work either one of them.  I tried to use dial-in Activation (by entering the installation of 54-digit ID), with no luck as well.  Is it possible to get it work?

  • I updated adobe and now windows vista will not come to the top!

    I was doing something that requires adobe 9 or higher, so I updated to 10. Now my main screen will not come to the top. I can't do all the suggestions for troubleshooting because I can't get to my computer at all.  I validated and it says windows Pascal more send activationsetc. and I can't update because I can't.

    Try to start in safe mode (press F8 immediately and repeatedly after Power Up Self Test and before Windows starts) and uninstall Adobe Reader X.  Then try to restart normally.

  • Still waiting new firmware and now my computer is not recognizing my opinion.

    Well, I sent the service to the customer, without promising real response to indicate when, if ever, the new firmware has to be stopped.

    In the meantime, a week ago my computers started to not recognize my opinion market, including a few error messages that I had never gotten before in Windows Media Player 10.  I followed the steps described in the Sansa support FAQ section.  Tried emailing sansa. Today they tell me to roll back Windows Media Player 11 for Windows Media Player 10 (which I already use).

    The solution? Admitting defeat.  A renounced envy the rest of devices non-Sansa to my family.

    I already bailed him out.

    Bought another brand. (Rhymes with COD).  It works well. I would like to the screen were as large as the view and the wheel is not quite as easy to use the view, but those which are minor compromise in my opinion, uh, I mean advice.  Rewind crisp and precise.  Fastforwards, well, quickly (a minute of the key gets me 35 minutes instead of 8 minutes with the view forward, and there is a way to achieve even faster than that).

    So far and good luck.

  • Windows 7 Windows Update doesn't load after installation of Windows 7 Service Pack Beta, then Outlook 2010 (Outlook 2010 has attempted to change Microsoft Update, after 24 hours, I rebooted the computer) and now, Windows Update does not work.

    Windows 7 Service Pack (so that I don't get a bunch of file wrong mistakes of corruption when using svn)

    Outlook 2010 (it works but I had to restart Windows forcefully during the first round as she tried to change the update settings)

  • HP Envy h8 1409: just restored to factory default and now windows 8 is not activate! Help, please!

    Recently, my PC started a little all around to have massive problems that I don't mind going into details, but I decided that after 2-3 years to possess, I would restore it factory default. It hurts but it would be a good idea, because I knew that windows are installed on it and apparently, this model is supposed to just reinstall without any problem...

    I have no idea what the hell happened, but now he has not activated windows. I know that the product key, and when I get it, it says "your product keys works! Continue when you're ready', then when he starts to deal with it, I get the error "the following error occurred while trying to use the product key:

    Code:

    So seriously, what the hell am I supposed to do? Please help me

    Hello

    If the original HP recovery partition is intact then you should be able to create the recovery media.

    Before attempting to improve once again, use a hard drive of commerical known reliable product imaging in the image of your hard drive to external media.  This will save you a lot of time and effort, if you never experience questions requiring to return to a fresh factory restore and then have to go through the whole update process again. The image will also save you if your hard drive fails.  If the HP recovery media is the plain W8 then take the shot.  Then after all the updates are applied and your with set success to date to W8.1 and then take another picture.

    Thanks for posting on the forum.

  • Moment of idiocy: I deleted some files on Sansa and now my Sansa is not recognized by WIMP

    My sansa screen got cracked and in a fit of anger (I know it's immature of me, but my blood sugar was low) I deleted which, in my view, are the root files (in Windows, it's an icon that is dogearred and has file .dat or .cable for example) which allows my Sansa is recognized by the WIMP.  In addition, because of my idiocy that my SansaUpdater does not recognize that my sansa e 250 v2 is no longer recognized as being installed, what should I do?  I'm a stream?  I have the latest firmware, so this isn't the issue.  How to get back my files root?  Now I can't put any music on the player as the chicken does not recognize the drive

    I found a way to get my e250 recognized by chicken.  WIMP recognized a flash drive, I got in my computer and I downloaded music to it, and then I dragged music dropped from the flash drive to the sansa.  I did this about two times and then WiMP recognized my sansa.  Wonders never cease.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
