No prompt connection at the connection, only the directory service repair mode works

I have window 7 and there was an automatic update that took place last night. 15 updates I think. This morning when I have time to connect, everything seems normal. When I click on my icon to enable the password prompt to appear, instead the icon disappeared a moment then reappeared with no password. I tried to fix it, I run into all the different security modes, etc., but nothing works, I can't get the password prompt to appear. Any ideas?

Update: I was able to get through "directory service repair mode. I have not to do anything more until I get more information.

  • DHCP server on a VM guest that is connected to a router (in AP mode) works on the host Linux (Fedora), but not on the host Windows (XP)

    I'm in dual boot Fedora and Windows XP, and configure a server vmware 2.0.0 122956 on both.

    Here is my config:

    Internet - Modem - vm_gw - vmnet1 (host) - vm_dhcp - router Wireless ADSL - computers laptops

    There are two physical network adapters on my host.  On the virtual machine that connects to the internet (vm_gw), I have one of the network adapters physical bridge (as vmnet0) to dial the ADSL modem and set up a network of hostonly (vmnet1) share the internet connection of the VM on the host and other virtual (vm_dhcp) computer.  On the virtual machine which also shares the internet connection to a wireless (vm_dhcp), I fill the other physical network (like vmnet2) adapters to connect to a router (in AP mode) and have a configuration of DHCP server on it and set up a hostonly (vmnet1) network to get its internet connection of vm_gw.

    I installed proper routing on my host computer and two virtual machines and this config works very well on my Fedora host.  However, the DHCP installation part does not work on my Windows XP host computer.

    The difference between my host Fedora and XP is on Fedora host, can I have two network adapters physical activated with a config 'empty' (to use DHCP or static) as in:

    DEVICE = eth0

    HWADDR = 00:11:22:33:44:55

    ONBOOT = yes

    TYPE = Ethernet

    and

    DEVICE = eth1

    HWADDR = 55:44:33:22:11:00

    ONBOOT = yes

    TYPE = Ethernet

    And there is no conflict on the physical network adapters between the host and the virtual machines.

    However, on XP host, I HAVE to configure the network adapters physical to use DHCP or static.

    If I place the physical network adapter (on the XP host) who will fill to vm_dhcp using DHCP, it will get an IP address from the wireless router and the DHCP server on vm_dhcp doesn't seem to be able to 'find' the wireless router and assign an IP address that him.

    Then I tried to configure the physical network card to use the static IP address (and assign it a fictitious IP address e.g. 192.168.123.1/255.255.255.0) to see if it would work, but it does not work either.

    Then I also tried to "simulate" the 'empty' network on Fedora config using regedit and delete (192.168.123.1/255.255.255.0) IP address on the network config and it does not work.

    Well, I'm out of ideas and I came here as a last resort.  Any suggestion/discussion is welcome.

    Thanks for reading.

  • "Windows Installer has stopped working". After going to 'manage' under 'computer', I find that windows install is missing from the directory 'services '.

    I managed to solve the problem by doing something with my registry. Now after a week his new broke and I don't remember how I fixed it. I am running windows vista ultimate. I discovered that it was broken again by trying to download java. HALP.

    I rebooted my computer in any way, and nothing has worked. However, it seems even e-mail links have stoped working.

    I can only suggest that you back up all your personal files and folders you want to keep in a flash drive or an external hard drive, then...

    1. If your computer comes with a Vista installation DVD, you can use it to perform a repair installation.

    Repair for Vista installation
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html
    If you do not, find a friend who has a. Make sure it has the same version of bits as yours.

    2. If you have a set of recovery disks created at the time you purchased your computer, use and restore your computer to 'presets' (as the first is out of the box)

    If you do not have a set of facts, contact the manufacturer of your computer, ask a set of recovery disks. The cost is very low and it is well worth the expense.
    In the same Helena ask to speak to a technician. Ask the person to teach you how to access your recovery partition (if you have one) and how to use it to restore your system.

    The recovery partition was the installation by the manufacturer of your computer. They know exactly how to use it.

    With my limited knowledge, that's all I can help you.

    ........................................................................................

    Someones with a better knowledge of the computer may have better ideas to solve your problem.

    Hello!!! can you tell me you have a single machine windows7 or mutiple.

    I suggest two things here

    (1) try to copy and merge the audio of an another windows7 home premium or better service

    You can do this by going into the Registry Editor (make sure that the other computer is also a 32-bit system)

    HKLM/system/current control set/services/audiosrv click audiosrv and then on the file menu, select export and save the file to a USB key or drive.

    While copy on your machine and merge. Then restart your system.

    (2) you can try an upgrade on the spot with the windows7 dvd. Where you can repair the windows all without losing what.

    Thank you. :)

    4. that all the troubleshooting steps have done?

    5 have have there been recent changes made on the computer before the show?

    I suggest you follow the methods provided below and update us with the results.

    Note: If you are using internet explorer, follow the methods provided.

     

    Method 1: Verify the problem by running Internet Explorer mode without modules.

    Temporarily disable all add-ons to see if the modules are the origin of the problem.

    To temporarily disable all add-ons:

    a. click the Start button.

    b. click on all programs, accessories, and click on system tools.

    c. click on Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

    If the Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) mode works very well then an add-on may be causing the problem. You will need to re-enable each (process of elimination) in order to determine which one is causing the problem.
