Hello
My computer is stuggling to access internet, I get this message - your computer seems to be configured correctly, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding). All the other computers in my house are connected without difficulty. Any suggestions?
Thank you
I solved the problem. When my router lost power, somehow the addresses changed if the IP address of the Dell Wireless computer is no longer fell in the pool of addresses maintained by the router. When I've reconfigured by router and had released and renewed my IP on the Dell computer, everything started working again.
Thanks for your help!

I am trying to install the latest version of iTunes, but I get the message "Unable to locate % APPDATA%/ network.". I made sure the previous iTunes was uninstalled properly and I found a suggestion on another forum that said "click Start-Run, type regedit (without the quotes) navigate to this registry path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER--> Software--> Microsoft--> Windows--> the current Version--> Explorer--> user Shell folders
Delete the key: recent (right mouse click on the folder/keys, click on delete) close the registry editor and restart the computer. »None worked and I have really no idea what to do. I'm not good with computers at all, then I'd be really grateful for the help.

So all this started because I tried to clean my computer to give to a friend. I tried refomatting the hard drive, but something was wrong here. After that, when I turn on the computer I get a black screen with message Bootmgr missing. I read a little inside and saw that I could download a Windows Vista recovery disk because my computer did not come with one.
After that I downloaded and burned the ISO image to a CD, things started looking better. I got to the screen when you select the language and keyboard. Then install windows screen. My options there were 'Install now' and 'repair your computer '. When I try to install, I put in my product key that seems fine. The next message I get is "Windows cannot open the required file E:\Sources\Install.wim. The file does not exist. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. "Error code: 0 x 80070002.

This isn't an installation disc. It's a record of startup repair!
You use the repair disk option, not Install.How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.
There is no Vista free download legal available.
https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11; Acer is in some models Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

IM currently under xp pro sp1. I want to upgrade to sp3, and I read that before the update to sp3, you have sp1a or sp2 (obviously not available). while trying to install sp1a, I get a message "server not responding" and then he directs me to go to the microsoft site to download a version of the file that does not use my internet connection. I can't find this file anywhere. My question is #1 I'm even doing this right? and anyway to update without having to download sp1a first? IM this operating system running on an ibm thinkpad. I know its outdated and will be a bit slow though, my reason to update to sp3 should be more compatible with the newer programs that won't let me download with sp1. Thanks for any help in advance.
See my response to this thread--> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_install/windows-xp-service-pack-1a-server-not-contactable/72a91455-7814-4d05-817c-52a4fbff0d8d
There is a much more important reason to install sp3 ' to be more compatible with the newer programs. If you have been online since August 2004 with Windows XP service pack 1 or more (when sp2 is released), the chances are high that your system is compromised (one of the reasons why he is "a bit slow").
You might seriously consider a "clean install" of Windows with whatever you have and then recovery media immediately this update to sp3. If you do this AND your recovery mechanism restores Norton or McAfee trial ware, after you make initial/reinstall recovery and before you install sp3, follow the advice of MS MVP PA Bear below:
VERY IMPORTANT! => Any Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You need TO uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the appropriate removal BEFORE tool to install updates, the Windows Service Packs, or updates of IE AND BEFORE installing your new antivirus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials - free).
