• How is it that some machines running windows vista, when the router is updated or changed, they show "limited or local only" when you reconnect then wireless.

  problems with wireless Vista "local only".

  How is it that some machines running windows vista, when the router is updated or changed, they show "limited or local only" when you then reconnect wireless... nothing else was changed on those computers and other devices can connect ok?

  Hello

  Each router is assigned to the specific address (called IP address or IP address). And each router maintains its own database (called as base of router) to follow the networking devices communicate with him. When the router is changed, the particular router is unable to detect the device, especially the network card to communicate with the computer.  Since he does not have details of the database of network devices, communicate with him.

• Windows 7 won't let me access the files (my documents, my downloads), but the programs work very well!

  Currently, I am running windows 7 Ultimate on my desktop I built. My computer starts up fine, no problem when I connect and I can run all my programs like itunes, security suite norton, chrome, Picasa and Microsoft word work completely fine. There is no problem to save things on Word view my photos on Picasa (which is on the C drive) or by playing songs on itunes (which means that I can access my hard drive through programs), but when I try to open the downloads folder, it shows a popup that says: "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. "and does not open the file. The problem is that I AM the administrator account on the computer! However, when I open things in my libraries such as My Documents or my music, there just a blank page, saying that I have no files in this folder, but I have files in all of these files: photos, all my music itunes and documents.

  The interesting thing is that I can save documents to the word to My Documents and it will be displayed at the beginning, but when I close the My Documents window and reopen it, the file disappeared and the folder is 'empty' again.

  Currently. I have 2 hard drives connected, a seagate 1 TB and a supplement of 250 GB. Both of these drives appear in disk management, so that the computer knows and is able to see are how many gb on them. Apart from this recognition, when I open the start menu and press computer, it only shows my USB and my CD player, nor of my hard drives. I know that computers are connected correctly as they hum and dry as usual. I am very worried about what is, be it a virus, bad connection, settings that have been changed for any reason any.

  Please help me understand why Windows 7 won't let me access my files through programs, but not in Finder Windows, I have very important files on this computer that I can't lose!

  Windows 7 has a feature of self defense which is a pain.

  He doesn't like files from other computers,

  Right-click on the folder and select properties and see if there is a release button.

  Repeat for external drives.

  Hi Mas_007,

  Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  I have a few here that might solve the problem.

  A.) Firstly, I suggest that you start the computer in safe mode and check if you are able to boot without any problems, safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not run in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed that, follow these steps to start the computer in safe mode with networking:

  To restart the computer using safe mode, restart the computer and press the F8 key for about four to five times. Appears in safe mode listed in the advanced options of Windows. Select Safe Mode, and then press ENTER.

  (B) I suggest that you perform a clean boot on your computer, to help troubleshoot error messages and other issues; You can start Windows Vista 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.

  The following link has steps showing how to perform the clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

  (1) perform the clean boot (check the link to perform the clean boot)

  (2) enable half the services

  (3) determine whether the problem returns

  (4) enable half of the startup items

  (5) determine if the problem returns

  (6) repeat the steps above until you find out which program or service is causing the issue

  After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

  Note: Please make sure that the computer is configured to start as usual by following step 7 of article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.

  (C.) I suggest that you perform a scan of the file system [SFC] checker on the computer, the scan replaces the failed system of files with the original files from version of Windows on the computer system, follow the steps below to perform a scan:

  I suggest to empty the temp folder and later, follow these steps:

  i. Click Start > type % temp % in the start search box > press on enter > delete everything present in the temp folder.

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

  2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

  3. at the command calls, the following line and press ENTER: sfc/scannow

  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

  Hope this information is useful.
  Let me know if it worked.
  All the best!

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• SOS - updates of Windows problem - won't let me change my settings to activate the automatic updates

  It is a nagging problem.  I tried to help and change a variety of things in my preferences - changed my profile/access etc.  I need a little help from someone.

  Note: my laptop is a new HP (2 months), I have recently updated to IE 8, I'm using Vista and it is a 32-bit system.  This cell phone belongs to me and is for use personally and in a home base business (so I'm a college professor).

  P.S. The HP Chat Support has not understood this.

  Can someone help me?

  Note: I am trying to solve this problem tonight, but I am not far away for awhile.

  It is probably easier than I think - but I have not had this problem before.

  Justin,

  Clean reboot didn't help.

  Question:
  I downloaded, a couple of weeks, a registry clean program AdAware and ran it... It was probably the time that feature automatic updates Windows Update stopped working.

  This is the problem and how to correct things now?  Should I reinstall my Windows Vista operating system or something?

  Please notify.

  Thank you
