New just installed Windows Vista, unable to connect to wireless networks

So a few months ago my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6) fell from my bed and the hard drive was messed up, so I'm a computer geek friend to replace my hard drive and put a new operating system on it, he had no activation key. In any case, after I came back it was working fine and I was able to use the internet by connecting to public networks, but every time I would connect to my computer it asked me to activate it. And finally I got so bored with being bugged that I decided to buy a new product key, so that he'd stop bugging me. So I bought a new Windows Vista Home premium operating system and when I received it in the mail, I installed correctly and put in the product key and active it and all that much good but whenever I try to connect to the internet that it says "Windows cannot find wireless networks" and when I click on "Diagnose this problem" he says "this computer does not have an install_ adapter of» configured wireless network. and then it gives me options troubleshooting that brings me at all because most of them consist in some way to update my drivers online, but I can't online my laptop to update! and all the other solutions are just confused. Is there a reason why my "driver" would stop working AFTER you install Windows Vista? Or is there some way I can uninstall the operating system and just use the one I had before? Help please!

Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

The computer you are using now if you have an Internet connection with the other > download / save drivers > copy them into Flash Drive > transfer / install on another computer/laptop.

See you soon.

  • Unable to connect to wireless networking

    My Toshiba laptop has been pre-installed with Windows 7 Home premium 64 - bit OS and it worked quite well with the BB wireless. However, the wireless internet was on and turned off in recent weeks, while other mobile devices, such as iphone, ipad, or laptop, in my household had no such problem. The wireless signal was so strong, but the error message always says "unable to connect to wireless networking. It seemed that there was something wrong with the wireless adapter.

    I got a new adapter properly installed TP-Link wireless. Fortunately, it worked; but unfortunately, it worked for less than 24 hours. It was really frustrating that I, like student full time, depended so much on the wireless network card.

    Help, please! Harry

  • Unable to connect to wireless networks more. ("Windows could not connect to (SSID)")

    Hello!

    Something very strange is happening with my laptop (dv6-3060ee). Up to this day at noon, everything worked well, including the wireless network. So, I set my computer to Hibernate and came to the House of my parents. As I turn it on and try to connect to the wireless here, I can't. I get this error "Windows could not connect to (name of the network).

    I'm on W7 Home Premium 64-bit and the card wireless in an Atheros 9285 b/g/n (model number can be a problem, I have it does not properly check).

    Things to consider:

    -I don't know that this is not a router problem or hardware WiFi card because:

    1. I can connect to the router and get internet access on my phone and with the other computer normally.

    2. on the laptop, I can not connect to the network without wire inside W7, BUT with HP QuickWeb (this system of Opertaing before loading windows), I can normally connect to the network and access to internet.

    -Have you ever tried, without success:

    1 reinstall the driver for the wireless card / Unistalling the driver and install it again

    2. change the encryption on the router. (Even with no encryption I can't connect)

    3. of course, restarting the computer, turn off/on of the network card, reset the router

    So, I'm sure it's a problem with Windows. I did some research here and in other places and other people seem to have the same problem, but I couldn't find any solution.

    I didn't install any software today which could cause conflicts.

    So, can someone help me, please?

    Thank you

    Thank you for your help, but I'd already sorted.

    The problem was really the driver, an update had been installed by the HP update program and it makes the device stop working. This problematic driver was March, I can't remember the version number.

    I went to the Device Manager and pressed on "Roll Back Driver". Windows restored to an October/2009 driver, 8.0.0.238 version number, and now it works as it should.

  • I just installed windows vista ultimate on my PC. I am not able to adjust my screen resolution.

    I am not able to adjust the resolution of my screen with Vista Ultimate.  If it's in 16 bits, the graphics are excellent, but the sizing of everything is huge.  There is a slide bar, but I am unable to move it.  It is in the lowest position, and he said get it up for sizing, but it won't let me.  If I use anything other than 16 bits, I can get my sizing down, but my graphics are bad.  Any ideas?

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

    Once you have the latest graphic drivers, then change it.

    If there is no avauilable of graphics drivers for Vista, you're out of luck.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

    See you soon.

    Hello

    As much as I know ConfigFree has no influence on the WLAN functionality because this utility is created for monitoring and not for configuration. When you want to use the WLAN connection do not forget that the wireless network adapter is correctly activated. If the connection is untied time trying to WLAN driver update.
