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.

Satellite L40: Windows Vista unable to connect to the network
My Satellite L40 laptop was connecting to my network wireless perfectly since Christmas. But two days ago, it stopped! I can see the networks available on the laptop but when I try to connect I get the message "Windows cannot connect to the network. Following the link to "Diagnose the problem" has no useful effect.

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
Hello
You can enlighten us with:
-What model do you use (eg..) L300-123)
-What version of BIOS is installed?
-WLAN driver do you use?All these questions are answered in PC Diagnostics are under Toshiba app folder in the start menu.

To help you further on this subject, it would have been really helpful for us if you had
mentioned a few details such as:
(1) is there an error message you get when you try to connect to the internet?
(2) is the persistent problem with all browsers installed on the machine?
(3) what is the brand and the type of the network adapter (whether ADSL or an adapter included)?However, there are a few steps that we can try first:
a. the following link has a very good tutorial on how to install a network adapter on the computer:

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 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.

Unable to connect to wireless network - WiFi is not available

I also - when I can connect - the connection drop after a period of time.
Any help please
Thank you

PS I uninstalled free config
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.

Windows 7 - "unable to connect to the network {SSID}.
Windows 7 laptop.
Error message "Windows cannot connect to network {SSID}. There is a Wi - Fi secure and invited. It worked well until this error message. Other computers connect correctly.
This phone has 1) see the SSID is currently showing. (2) don't ask for password 3) then the error message. The main SSID is WEP or WAP. The guest account is open.
I. no data on the laptop I did the resumption of the plant, then security patches. -The same error message.
II. uninstalled the antivirus to see if it was the culprit (was not before this error). So now running without A / V. Same error message.
III. as suggested in other threads - started in safe mode with network. Same error message.
IV network drivers. uninstalled, restarted, network drivers resettled without problem. Same error message.
V. wired connection works fine.
VI. it does not work on the workplace of users. Does not work on my Wi - Fi either. It is therefore not the router.
VII. also crossed and not the flushdns, netsh int for network operations... No luck.
VIII. Wireless Services are automatic.
Suggestions are welcome.
Darryl
Simple.
When exhaust you solutions, watch the hardware failure. The RA link 5390 in the laptop wireless card has failed. Ordered another card, deleted the drivers, rebooted, auto found the card and loaded the drivers. Once more the life is nice.
Thanks for the help, as always. (New question in the next email, however...)
