Old computer reinstalled XP cannot connect to the internet. Could not find the iexplore

I have an old computer.  I reinstalled Windows XP on it about 30 days ago.  I can't connect to the internet.  I bought 2nd hand computer and I bought my own version of XP directly from Microsoft.  I can't activate.  I can not even find iexplore.  Any suggestions?  I installed a driver for the ethernet card and still nothing.

I've never dealt with XP MCE, but from what I've seen, you can get ambiguous messages during the installation process.  MCE was never intended for installation by end users; It came normally pre-installed on computers that have the necessary equipment to support additional features 'media '.

It seems to me that if you have to start over.  First of all, you should get a prompt for "Windows XP Professional CD2" - who wants to have the second of the two CDs.  Then you should get a prompt for "XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD." In response to this prompt, insert the CD first back in.

Assuming that work better than before, right-click on desktop and select Properties.  If the display shows service pack 2 - which I believe it will be - you only need to install sp3.

    I'm so unable to connect to the internet?

    Hello.

    I'm so unable to connect to the internet.

    Since I've renamed our WiFi network and add a WEP key, I have problems with wireless connection on my
    Windows XP computer desktop, which is a Dell Dimension 4700.

    The questions that I get connection are...

    "windows could not find a certificate to log on the network.

    "Limited or no connectivity."

    I did all the solutions I could try to fix the connection problem!

    1. once I received the message "limited or no connectivity", I click with the right button on the connection and click on repair. It is not always connect for me and I got the "limited or no connectivity message.»

    2. then, I disabled the network connection and then enabled. That no longer works.

    3. I tried to withdraw from the ordered list of connections, and it still doesn't work.

    4. I checked the driver manager, and initially the Ethernet driver was outdated and missing of its pilot. He had a yellow question mark with a black sign and yellow with an exclamation mark inside.

    5. I used DriverZone, downloaded the driver, installed and rebooted the computer after the installation of the it. Apparently, it worked. But I could not always connect.

    6 I have ensured that I entered the correct WEP key, and then adjust the settings correctly. I did it like 10 times in a row and would not always connect.

    7. I tried to go to the command prompt and typed in IP Config/All and that's what I mean.

    Windows IP configuration
    Node type: unknown
    Active IP routing: no
    WINS proxy enabled: no
    ETHERNET connection to the Local network card
    State of the media: Media disconnected
    Description: Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection
    Ethernet card 2 wireless network connection:
    Suffix the connection-specific DNS: (EMPTY)

    8. after that, I typed the command: ipconfig/release
    and then I got this error...

    No operations can be performed on the connection to the local network, although it has its media disconnected.

    9. after that, I tried Googling for some solutions, and the solutions I found were not any use.
    A solution was

    10. opening of Services...
    Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
    Scroll down to and double-click Client DNS | Set to automatic on startup
    type |
    Click apply | Click the Start button | When it starts, click OK
    Do the same for the DHCP Client.
    Do the same for the remote procedure call (RPC).

    and it still doesn't work.

    11. when I look in the menu network connections, I see my connection with a lock on the side, with a red X under the lock and key. In the description, I see not connected, protected by a firewall. How could I remove the internet connection firewall? I disabled the firewall and that did not work.

    12. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the network card and who does not work either.

    It is not the network itself that is the problem.  It is not the modem or the cable. There are no disconnected son or something like that. We have other computers in the House and the internet works fine on other computers. As I said, since I renamed our WiFi network and added a WEP password, I had problems with connecting to my Windows XP computer.

    My computer has updates that must be installed as well. Updates would fix the problem? I just need to have internet.

    What should I do? Thank you for your time.

    Sincerely,

    Justin

    Have you tried to set the value of the link speed/duplex mode? I had the same problem you describe. Your card is only capable of 10/100 communication.

  • Reinstalled XP - cannot connect to the internet

    Hello.  I have an Asus Eee PC 900, which I restored to factory settings, using the XP disc that comes with it.  However, I can't connect to the internet.  By the way I'm having exactly the same problem with my Eee PC 701 with Windows XP, after restoring to factory settings too (have installed Linux and it connects fine) so I think it's an XP thing.

    The pc displays available networks, I tried everything that I know, have set up the network and typed in my network key.  When I try to connect, nothing happens.  If I try to fix it, I get the message Windows could not finish repairing the problem because it is impossible to perform the following action: connect to the wireless network.

    I tried:

    (1) to reinstall the driver (it says it of Ok, and is the last being listed).
    (2) setting the date and time correctly on the computer.
    (3) check that 'enable IEEE... '. "is checked, authentication
    (4) turn off ' use Windows to configure my wireless "(but if I do, no available wireless networks appear)

    I wonder if Service Pack 2 is simply too old to connect to internet!  Is there anything I can download on my other computer on usb and install it on either an Eee Pc?  Like Service Pack 3 or something?

    My network is WPA2 Personal

    The box to "enable authentication IEEE 802. 1 x for the network"must NOT be checked.

    You should have installed Service Pack 3 for your restoration efforts.  Unpatched, Windows XP Service Pack 2 is not able to connect to wireless networks that use WPA2 encryption (which is what you are - and should be - aid).  Older hardware may also be unable to connect using WPA2, but this doesn't seem to be your problem because you connected before the restoration and that you can connect now using Linux.

    There is a catch-22: Windows Update will not install updates for XP (including Service Pack 3) except if you have installed Service Pack 3.

    Connect your computer to your router with an Ethernet cable and do the following:

    1. Right click on your wireless connection icon and select Properties
    2. Select the wireless networks tab
    3. Confirm that "Use Windows to configure my wireless network" is CHECKED
    4. Remove all entries in the list of "preferred networks".
    5. Click 'View wireless networks,' select yours, enter your WPA2 password carefully, then click on connect

    If you are unable to connect your computer to the router with an Ethernet cable for a reason, use another computer (for example, the one you use to ask questions here) to download the patch from the HP site and program installation of SP3 from Microsoft of the site and to copy on a USB or burn it to a CD.  Then copy the files on the desktop you're your computer and run them as if you had downloaded them.

  • Windows cannot connect to the Internet using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP. __This is probably caused by settings of firewall on this computer. __

    I recently installed the version of Norton, after that I was unable to use the internet, I thought it was the Norton firewall settings. After having playing with her for 30 minutes, I gave up and uninstalled Norton. I have disabled the firewall, I have reset the default settings. Here is the message I get when I run a diagnostic. A crazy thing is that I can connect to internet when I connected to this same computer as a guess.

    Please help me!

    1. what browser you are using to connect to the internet?

    It is not recommended to keep Windows Firewall disabled on the computer.

    This would happen if the ports are not open in the Windows Firewall.

I downloaded a few books, and then I started having authentication errors. I couldn't erase the authorization through Adobe Digital Editions to try to do it again, I kept getting errors. I followed the instructions to change the registry, which withdrew the authorisation of old, and I can now, select "authorize computer".

    You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

    Step 1

    VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. It regenerates itself also if you try to remove it when it is run. To remove it, you must first start in safe mode temporarily disable the malware.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for other instructions.

    Step 2

    When running in safe mode, load the web page and then triple - click on the line below to select. Copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. Please don't skip this step. Files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change for a few minutes, then they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.

    Step 3

    In the LaunchDaemons folder, there may be one or more files with the name of this form:

    com Apple.something.plist

    When something is a random string, without the letters, different in each case.

    Note that the name consists of four words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

    com Apple.builins.plist

    com Apple.cereng.plist

    com Apple.nysgar.plist

    There may be one or more items with a name of the form:

    com.something.plist

    Yet once something is a random string, without meaning - not necessarily the same as that which appears in one of the other file names.

    These names consist of three words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

    com.semifasciaUpd.plist

    com.ubuiling.plist

    Sometimes there are items (usually not more than one) with the name of this form:

    com.something .net - preferences.plist

    This name consists of four words (the third hyphen) separated by periods. Typical example:

    com.jangly .net - preferences.plist

    Drag all items in the basket. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

    Restart the computer and empty the trash.

    Examples of legitimate files located in the same folder:

    com.apple.FinalCutServer.fcsvr_ldsd.plist

    com Apple.Installer.osmessagetracing.plist

    com Apple.Qmaster.qmasterd.plist

    com Apple.aelwriter.plist

    com Apple.SERVERD.plist

    com Tether.plist

    The first three are clearly not VSearch files because the names do not match the above models. The last three are not easy to distinguish by the name alone, but the modification date will be earlier than the date at which VSearch has been installed, perhaps several years. None of these files will be present in most installations of Mac OS X.

    Do not delete the folder 'LaunchDaemons' or anything else inside, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. The file is a normal part of Mac OS X. The "demon" refers to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.

    If you are not sure whether a file is part of the malware, order the contents of the folder by date modified I wrote in step 2, no name. Malicious files will be grouped together. There could be more than one such group, if you attacked more than once. A file dated far in the past is not part of the malware. A folder in date dated Middle an obviously malicious cluster is almost certainly too malicious.

    If the files come back after you remove the, they are replaced by others with similar names, then either you didn't start in safe mode or you do not have all the. Return to step 1 and try again.

    Step 4

    Reset the home page in each of your browsers, if it has been modified. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select

    ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General

    and click on

    Set on the current Page

    If you use Firefox or Chrome web browser, remove the extensions or add-ons that you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them.

    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.

    Step 5

    The malware lets the web proxy discovery in the network settings. If you know that the setting was already enabled for a reason, skip this step. Otherwise, you should undo the change.

    Open the network pane in system preferences. If there is a padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window, click it and authenticate to unlock the settings. Click the Advanced button, and then select Proxies in the sheet that drops down. Uncheck that Auto Discovery Proxy if it is checked. Click OK, and then apply.

    Step 6

    This step is optional. Open the users and groups in the system preferences and click on the lock icon to unlock the settings. In the list of users, there may be some with random names that have been added by the malware. You can remove these users. If you are not sure whether a user is legitimate, do not delete it.
