Network connections on the control panel
Running Windows 7. You want to change a network connection name. Help sought for "Rename network connection." A link "Click here to open network connections" appears. This link works and goes to everything in Control Panel > network connections. However, when I go directly to the Control Panel, there is no such item in the list, only the network and sharing Center, which does not have an obvious way to display all the available connections, only the one in use. Why is this and how do I solve this problem? Thank you!
If I understand what you're asking about, go to control panel, go to network and sharing Center and click on the link in the left pane to "change the map settings.
That ends at the same place (network control and Internet\Network connections) you get to by clicking on the link in the help file.
You can go directly to "Network connections" by typing "ncpa.cpl" (without the quotes) in the start menu > Search box and press enter

These two wires (black and white) belong to the WLAN antenna and must be connected to the wireless network card. For this model of laptop wireless network card is optional and I don't know if the card is inside.

I am running windows vista 64-bit. I also have downlaoded and installed service pack 1 or 2 - I forgot. But now, even though I see the tracer in the control panel---> windows printer as "ready", I can't draw anything. The abacus is silent.

Re: The network connection to the printer has been lost.
I'm having the same problem with a HO Photosmart 5520 and win 10. The solution to this annoying problem is far too complex and time consuming. Instead, it should be an option just to cut the sound notificaiotn.
Welcome to the HP community @janhoza!
I came across your post regarding your printer lost network connection and wanted to pop in to help.
Through your message, we don't have the option to disable the notification. But I think that we can solve this problem by simply assigning a static IP address. Here are the steps:
- Get the IP address of the printer, you can touch the 'Wireless' icon on the Control Panel printer to get the IP address.
- Type the IP address in your web browser to get the EWS page on your computer printer.
- Go to the 'Network' tab - click on "wireless (802.11), and then click «network address (IPv4)»»
- Click on the box that says "Manual IP", then click "Propose an IP address manually" to give an IP address manually to your printer.
- Click on the radio button that says 'Manual of the DNS server' and under manual type favorite 8.8.8.8 and manual replacement enter 8.8.4.4 (it is Google's DNS server address)
Let me know if this helps. Good luck!
See you soon

HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer does not appear on the control panel
My HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer does not appear on the control panel. How to fix it. I have a laptop Toshiba and Windows 7 Home Premium OS. Help, please. rwillm
Hey,.
Thanks for the update, rwillm. It seems that the installation of the printer can be a little messed up. If the printer software is always installed, but simply lacks the printer, then I would advise to do a little cleaning before choosing to add the printer back.
- Make sure that the printer is deleted from the file devices and printers
- Click on one of the remaining printers folder
- Select the properties of the print server at the top of the window
- Click the tab drivers
- Remove all drivers in this window for the Officejet 4500
Also check in the Device Manager to verify that there is no mention of remaining of the 4500.
- Click on the start menu
- Right click on computer
- Select manage in the list
- Click Device Manager in the list of questions on the left side of the window that opens
- Click the view at the top of the menu, and then select Show hidden devices
- Remove all references to the 4500 in the list of devices
After making sure of the device is gone, I recommend bike devices in the power circuit: router, computer and printer.
* Make sure the printer has a valid IP address after switching back on and is connected to the same network as your PC before adding the printer.
If the IP address and SSID are good for the printer, then try to add the printer with the printer software, you have installed.
- Click on the Start Menu
- Click on all programs
- Open the HP folder
- Open the folder for the series of the Officejet 4500 G510
- Select Add a device option
Let me know how it goes,
Jason

Highlightly does not appear in the control panel more since I uninstalled it. I disabled the extension in the Add-ons. He however keeps popping up. I have windows 7 pro 64-bit.
Is there an action actually uninstall Highlightly your list of extensions instead of disable?
One thing I would recommend is that make you a Reset of Firefox. The reset Firefox feature can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.
Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions and preferences.- Sites Web open is not recorded in less than 25 versions of Firefox.
To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:
- Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
- Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
- Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.
Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .
To be sure that he's gone completely, make a check of malware with some malicious programs, analysis of the programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
All of these programs have free versions.Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

We have tried everything we can think of changing the time in our computer. Whenever we click on the small box in the lower right corner, he says - "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. May not permissions to access you the item. In addition, we are unable to add or remove programs or making changes through the control panel. Help
All the problems you describe are problems that could occur if the user that you are connected without administrator privileges. The quick check of administrator privileges must right click on the button 'start '. If "Open All Users" is one of the choices that appear, then you have administrator privilege. Otherwise, you must connect to your machine like the built-in 'administrator' or a user in the group "Administrators".
Assuming that you have administrator privileges, things get more complicated. User rights can be granted or denied to any user - even administrators - by group policy. If you are an administrator and you have XP Pro, then you might be able to check or change the user rights by using the Group Policy Editor (from-> Run-> "gpedit.msc"). Search in the:
Computer configuration-> Windows settings-> security settings-> local policies-> user rights
path. One of these user rights is "Change the System Time". If your XP Pro machine was never part of a domain, I would consider also running a program anti-malware on your system.
If you have XP Home Edition, you don't have the Group Policy Editor. You will need to check / adjust / modify your user rights by using the command line program "NTRights" provided with the Resource Kit. Problems like that with XP Home would raise my suspicions that you have a malware infestation.

No icon of Bluetooth device in the control panel of my Windows xp sp3
I can't install the bluetooth mobile phone because there is no Bluetooth device icon in the control panel. I use Windows xp sp3. Can someone tell me what I need to do?
Hi naturalmente.
What is the number and the model of the device you are trying to connect?
Check the conditions below are true:
1. If there are several Bluetooth devices connected to your computer, temporarily remove the devices you want to solve not. If there are other USB devices, try to remove all USB devices that you do not have to be installed during the troubleshooting process. If you have several devices that are connected using USB, this can interfere with a Bluetooth transmitter/receiver.
2. check that the Bluetooth device that you want to solve is turned on and that it is enabled.
3. check the status of the Bluetooth support service:
a. to open the snap Microsoft Management Console (MMC) for Services in Windows XP, click Start, click Run, type services.msc and click OK.
b. double-click the Bluetooth Support service.
c. If the Bluetooth Support service is stopped, click Start.
d. in the startup type list, click Automatic.
e. click the log.
f. click Local System account.
g. click OK.
h. If you are prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
4. search for the parameters below:
a. right click on the Bluetooth in the notification area icon and then click on view the Bluetooth settings.
b. on the Options tab, click to select the discovery of the Tower on the checkbox and then click on apply.
c. to enable Bluetooth devices to connect to your computer, click to select allow them Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer check box and then click OK.
