My computer won't let me download a cd of new material. Said hardware has not passed windows logo testing.
I want to add an adapter usb to my computer to watch movies on my TV. It came with the software, however the download access is denied.
When you install the hardware in your computer (almost always), you must install a 'pilot', which is just software that tells your operating system (Windows, in your case) how to communicate with the hardware.
Microsoft has a program she calls 'the logo test' which enables a company to label its products with the Windows logo. Not every small manufacturer wants to go through the load of this test program, but if a company is trustworthy - and Trendnet is - then the fact that their products have not passed official testing procedures from Microsoft doesn't mean that their products will not work with Windows. This is why you can usually ignore a message to the effect that a product has not passed Windows logo testing - if you also a pretty good reason to believe that the product will work.
So just follow the instructions supplied with the adapter installation, put on the CD and install the software. But the installation of this card is only the first part of your trip.
Although I've not set my TV to watch streaming video from Netflix or Amazon, as I understand it, you need a TV that can be connected directly to the Internet. In other words, you cannot download and save a copy of the video complete on your computer and then read it from your computer to the TV. That's why's called it "streaming" video - you're not supposed to save a copy to your computer, but rather to look at the 'stream '.
Thus, Amazon said, "the easiest way is to connect your TV to your router or modem broadband (DSL/Cable, for example) with an ethernet cable.»
A lot of people with a connection broadband has a router, which has generally 4 Ethernet Sockets (and perhaps a point of both wireless access). If you had one, you would just connect a "vacant" Ethernet between the TV and a cable to your router. You, unfortunately, have a router with a single Ethernet Jack (I know you thought it as a modem, but it's almost certainly a modem and a router inside a box of Physics). So, as you acknowledged, you don't connect your TV to the cable modem because it would need to disconnect your computer.
You have two choices.
You can buy a cheap Ethernet switch (e.g. this one) which would connect you to port on the back of the modem cable and then connect your computer and TV to two of the other ports on the switch. This would probably work without having to make adjustments to configuration on your cable modem - but in the past, some customers wanted cable ISPS to pay extra for each computer connected to the modem cable and makes it a little difficult to so add connections on your own. I don't think that is always the case, but because I don't have cable - especially not the same cable ISP like you - I don't know about you.
Or you can buy a second Ethernet adapter of your computer (which is what you did) and then set up the "Internet connection sharing" (ICS) on your computer so that the TV can connect to the Internet through your computer. Because you have already purchased this material, you probably want to set up ICS.
Although there are many websites that explain how to configure ICS, because XP is becoming obsolete quickly, many of the older sites are more fully functional, including one who should have been better to show your situation (sharing a connection to local network to the Internet with another connection of LAN)
Use the Network Setup Wizard. Go to network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK) and click on "Set up a small business network or home."
The 3rd screen looks like this--> http://screenshots.modemhelp.net/screenshots/Windows_XP/Network_Setup_Wizard/03_%28directly_connected%29.shtml
Choose the first choice. Even if your computer connects 'via a residential gateway"(your cable modem/router) the"other computers"(TV) will connect"through this computer."
The next screen should look like this--> http://screenshots.modemhelp.net/screenshots/Windows_XP/Network_Setup_Wizard/03_%28directly_connected%29/LAN.shtml
If you have correctly installed the USB adapter, you should see a line like the one that was highlighted in the image (it's your modem cable connection) and a second line describes your connection to the LAN USB.
If the wizard does not recognize the USB adapter as a connection to the local network, it will not let you continue (click on the 'Next' button on this screenshot, where there is only one LAN connection, and you'll see what happens).
Assuming that the wizard allows you to continue to do so. Your "computer name" is already filled in. Do not change. You can add a description if you wish. When you get to the screen 'file and printer sharing', you can disable this feature (you're not going to share files between your computer and the TV).
Confirm on the summary screen that "Internet" is through your "Local network connection" and that the wizard correctly selected your USB adapter as the "connecting to your network" (this screen shot shows that the connection to the Local network is connected to 'your network' because the Dial-Up connection is connected to the Internet)--> http://screenshots.modemhelp.net/screenshots/Windows_XP/Network_Setup_Wizard/03_%28directly_connected%29/Dial-Up/04--2.shtml (click on the scroll bar to) see the screen shot in all)
When you complete the wizard, you should be able to connect your TV to your USB adapter and it should work (Yes, there is a lot of "desirable"; good luck).

When you use the internet, my virus detector asked if I would allow google chrome to download a newer version. I clicked on the decline, and then my internet has stopped working. I finally got back on, but now my computer won't let me use google chrome as a browser. It indicates that the internet connection is not available. I was able to use other browsers, but not Google. I tried disabling my firewall to see if it would work then, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions? I'm afraid, that I blocked it somehow. Thank you!!
