Loss of Internet and Windows features limited after a clean install of Windows 7
Hi all
Here's a bit of context. I had an additional Lenovo T410 sitting around, so I tried restoring it to its "factory condition" by a start-up "format". Plan was to boot from the CD drive and reinstall Windows 7 (32 bit) in the process. However, disaster, after the process complete, I'm now stuck in a kind of safe mode (everything is bigger than usual) and the computer is running several pilots. I manually installed the network card driver (can identify networking but cannot connect to the internet). Device Manager still shows device Base system, controller, Ethernet, Serial Port PCI, PCI Simple Communications Controller and unknown to be updated device drivers.
My goals here are to 1) restore internet connectivity and 2) make all the features of Windows 7 Home Premium.
Thank you for any input!
* Virtual H.o.t. If you stuck with me through this whole explanation.
Lenovo.com connect on another computer, click Help, enter your computer type and download the network drivers for your machine. Then return to the page to download the driver to your computer and download ThinkVantage System Update. Run this and it will update automatically the rest of your hardware drivers (see the post of Zoltan, above).

Wireless card not working after a clean install of Windows Vista
I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Pavilion of 32 bits. I've completely updated Windows via Service Pack 2. Given that the clean install, my wireless card, Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, was not able to detect all the networks. The Wifi card is listed under NICs as being installed and activated. the hardware on my laptop Wifi switch is set on "on" and the light is blue, indicating that the card is working.
I can connect to the internet if I connect physically my computer to the modem with an ethernet cable wireless, so the modem isn't the problem. Other computers can connect to the wireless modem, so my Wifi modem functionality is not the problem. The problem with my computer.
I tried to uninstall the Intel driver and reboot my computer with the generic driver. Install the driver generic, but my wireless card has not always worked. I then ran an update of windows, nothing helps.
I tried to install the "Intel® PRO /? Wireless and WiFi Link"drivers for Windows Vista (32-bit 13.1.1.1 the latest version and the previous version 12.4.4.5 32-bit) for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN directly from the Intel Web site at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+WiFi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+WiFi+Link+4965AGN. The map didn't always work with a driver.
In addition to the pilots, I also downloaded a tool of diagnosis of Intel (Intel® PROSet /?) Utility of WiFi wireless connection for Windows Vista 32 -? Bit). Said diagnostic tool the WiFi card is not installed or enabled, however, Device Manager maintains that he is also installed and active.
Is there a problem that causes Device Manager to say that all is well with the card, but does not map to realize that they diminish the radio signals? Everything's fine, diagnostic, it just does not detect networks around him. Help, please.

Where to download drivers and utilities Toshiba after a clean install?
My new Qosmio X 500 is very slow, that just after the start and I want to do a clean install to remove unnecessary software (Norton, MS Office Trial, some utilities Tishiba) completely, but I want to assure you that I can always find and install utilities (Protection of the HDD, fingerprint reader, etc.) I want as well as drivers for all components (Webcam, bluetooth access keys)
These things do not come to drive more and the page "downloads" on mytoshiba point to nothing at all
Help, please! I wanted to do today, but cannot not even call anyone, as it is Sunday here :(
If you want to have more portable computer fast, you should not do clean OS install. Just remove all things you need and also to disable some applications to start with Windows.
All is the OS configuration issue.Please note that Toshiba recovery image has been tested and all hardware components will not function properly. With your new installation of operating system, sometimes you'll have some strange problems.

* Original title: hard drive
I have a lenovo laptop, processor Intel i3, 500 GB hard drive. After the clean install of windows 7, it gives an error saying that there is a problem in the hard drive. I ran chkdsk looking for bad sector and its display 6000 KB in bad sectors. After completing the audit when it began to restart its stuck when the windows logo appears. What should I do? Reinstall the windows help?
Run the hard drive HD diagnosis extended CD scan manufacturer to know with certainty the State of the reader. If your brand has no bootable diagnostics in the link, use Seagate Seatools burned onto CD or SeaTools for a USB key . Follow this with a full check disk command from the installation media kicked prompt know with absolute certainty the State of the reader. If he repeated the errors after you run the two tests twice, I replace it or at least keep everything backed up in real time.
If by chance the drive past diagnosis then compares the steps you've done with the best possible Clean install Windows 10 in the link, you can do more if it varied too - especially if the partitions were not deleted during install. If you do then I additonally run own Diskpart command command line of the punt media accessible to the first screen after startup by pressing SHIFT + F10 keys, or through the repair your computer on the second screen.

No restore factory after a clean install of Windows 7
Factory support key F11 RnR restores after a clean install of win7?
I did a new install of win7 and installed a RnR last on my T410. When I tried F11 RnR, there is no option to restore with. My SYSTEM_DRV and Lenovo recovery xxxx exist and are suitable for all the files in them.
I have recovery disks, but I just what to see if restore factory F11 works on this path.
Fix. I had already understood what you were doing.
I'll say it simple as I can:
(1) installed at the factory
The secret is windows 7 added windows re (recovery of win7 to the mix environment). Lenovo plant reorganizing this to factory support. This has created a hidden from the factory restore boot entry.
(2) your installation "sideways", IE, cram lecteurC.
This wax installation tips from lenovo. That is to say, no factory entry to move to the RNR standalone.
(3) any property. do not delete anything. (such as SYSTEM_DRV).
==
You have a dead now at the new disk space. This works. Large.
Use RNR and backup every week in a place (external). I know that it was not fun, but has been a learning experience.
==
To clarify: (confusion)
RNR is the main big daddy. This is the main task is to rescue by using a backup RNR. Recovery (factory) is a subset, not exactly. This just transfers control to another entry for starting a recovery plant stuff. Thus, Rescue and Recovery. I answer all the time about it. Yes, they look different, they are.

Firefox crashes even after a clean install of Windows
Hey!
My Firefox keeps crashing. It starts up ok, but still crashes shortly after. I do not see a pattern in accidents, it seems random. Strange thing is that I had this problem before with Win7 and now he persists after installation clean full of Win10. The two hard drives formatted, no old files or anything left... It crashes in safe mode, too. On Win7, I could get locked out of the browser. Sometimes he would start crashing whenever I started the browser. A reboot has allowed me to once again successfully launch Firefox, but it would soon break without worrying. He crashed on the clean install of Firefox and crashed after that I installed Adobe Flash.
The crash began perhaps a few days previously, I think not that a lot of it initially. Now, however, it drives me nuts; It is basically impossible to navigate. Firefox browser my go-to for years and I would rather go to another.
Here are a few crash reports: 4b05df7c-24d3-49e3-a13f-c9d57aca3cf0 bp-775561fc-4d6c-48a5-8c6b-e3af42161108 43d377a7-ea92-4c37-b717-84a562cd2d36 bp-09b21c04-8640-44ed-a261-a98f12161108 bp-9726e46d-d041-4fba-b905-f92682161108 fb6d8a28-79c6-4cab-b4c1-096778ca49e8
You will appreciate all help to the problem.
Seems that the problem is solved by itself. Not a single accident today. I don't have any idea of that which could have fixed, or what caused it in the first place. Curious, but no matter, I'm a happy camper now. I wish all support forums it was effective.

My PC has a virus; My anti virus would not repair it... After doing a clean install of Windows XP, I remember reading that I can delete a file named 'old machine' if the new installation worked. I installed Microsoft Security Essentials... For 3 days, everything worked was great until this evening...
Tonight, I ran an update of virus definitions and then run the 'full' scan Microsoft Security Essentials has notified me that I had a few threats. There was also a warning on a temporary file and asked if I wanted to send it to Microsoft I did...I am trying to be proactive and prevention viruses take over this machine again... I remembered reading after installation 'own' that I should remove the file 'old Machine' if the computer works well after the clean install? .. .also had a warning on a temporary file.Any idea where I can find the 'old machine' file; (I thought the clean install would remove all)... I did a search on my computer and come with nothingHelp, please!...Hello
Step 1: You can remove it in c:/Windows. With the help of old cleaning disc.
In the disk cleanup, select the previous installation of windows. Put a check mark to remove it.
Note: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

New R13 - R7 - 372T: Tools missing after the clean install
Hello!
I got my R13 - R7 - 372T today and I want to do a clean install of Windows 10. I checked the Acer site and saw that most of the drivers are available on the download page, I also found the abApps (Portal of Acer and) download ( https://www.cloud.acer.com/ops/downloads) where I need those who one day but its seems that some of the pre-installed tools/applications are missing. How can I reinstall the following tools if I wipe my device? (I have already created a backup of the recovery partition but I need regular installation files):
-Acer care center (edit: I found a link for verification of compatibility to download it here: http://www.acer.com/ac/en/MY/content/software-acer-care-center )
-Acer Hover access (edit: found the link for flight stationary access here: http://go.acer.com/?id=18022#_ga=1.267060686.114307318.1458377954 but not sure of the version)
-Dolby X 2 Audio Windows App
-Acer Audio utility invert (makes that actually do?)
I'm a little disappointed that Acer does not offer those by convenient download as the rest of the drivers and application of quick access for example. So where can I download those, or how I at least check out them of the recovery media that I created?
Edit: Looks like after some experiences of most of the tools I mentioned is unnecessary (so I removed them from the list) or available by searching around for a while. However the 2 above mentioned utilities are still missing.
Thank you!
