• Windows cannot create the network map. Responses of the other devices on the network are delayed or on the network, there is a router incapatible

  Original title: no network card
  I installed a NETGEAR N300 Wireless USB Adapter on my computer which is a desk top Dell 64-bit running Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. There are five computers on my network. Two of the others use the same model of NETGEAR wireless USB adapt. I removed the Ethernet cable after the installation of the wireless adapter. I can say that the new wireless adapter works fine. When I tried to map the network I got the same message that appears in some of these problems: "Windows cannot create the network map. Responses of the other devices on the network are delayed or there is a router on the network incapatible". I have restarted this computer in SafeMode as suggested in the above problems. I tried other things like disabling the wired connection has always existed for the cable. No effect. Then I tried mapping the network on the other computers. All failed with the same message. All the other four computers are 32-bit. Three of these computers are also running Windows 7 Home Premium. They are the best desktop computers. The other computer is a Windows 7 Starter netbook running. It is the 32-bit computer, always using a cable. That will be replaced with the same wireless adapter model NETGEAR. Anyone know how to fix this or is this a bug? It would be nice of the network software of Windows 7 has worked as it is supposed to. TO.

  I went the last wired wireless computer and the problem disappeared. The five computers can view the map now without any problems.

• Debugging in kernel mode on network problem Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows 8.1 comments

  Hi all!

  I tried the kernel debugger of network installation of client Windows Server R2 2012 on article according to VMware Workstation 10.0.1:
  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/Windows/hardware/hh439346 (v = vs. 85) .aspx

  But I can't connect to guest with WinDBG. I have set up bcdedit, restart and see that boot OS comments very slow.
  Then I run regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\kdnet and see that
  KdInitResultString value is 'InitializeNetwork could get the Ethernet address of the host debugger.".
  KdInitStatus value is "c00000b5".

  I tried:
  -change of hardware to 9 version
  -change the comments to e1000 Ethernet card
  -disable the DHCP (debugger comments must use APIPA)
  -change the type of connection (bridge NAT, host-only)

  and every time I get the error "Failure of InitializeNetwork get the Ethernet address of the host debugger.". Guest 8.1 Windows x 64 and x 86 Windows 8.1 I get the same result.
  But I can debug comments Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 on network without any problems. Also I can debug Windows Server R2 2012 on Oracle VirtualBox network.

  Is this a problem of VMware Workstation? Anyone can debug comments WIndows Server 2012 R2 or Windows 8.1 on network in VMware Workstation?

  Thank you!

  Have you tried the Workstation Technology Preview July 2014? (https://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/workstation/vmware-workstation-technology-preview-2014) I think that this problem has been resolved.

  need to run windows in safe mode with network to have browserws working properly. using IE and Firefox. Web site fisting comes in following correctly sites just waiting for the website tab help

  If it works in Windows safe mode, then you have a problem with other software, maybe a security software or a system driver that runs on your computer.

  It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  I have some bad problems while trying to use the following workflow: 'Clone, windows with a single NETWORK card. I always get the following error message: "task"CloneVM_Task"error: a specified parameter was not correct. "

  "Spec.Identity.Password.Value (name of the dynamic Script Module: vim3WaitTaskEnd #20).

  So I guess I have a problem with a password but I don't know what password, I give for the input parameter "channel passwork. It is encrypted if the indicator planText partner is false"I do not understand what password I would give here because I do not give any account of domain user.

  Is there anyone who has already used this workflow and can give me some advice on how to use it properly?

  Any help is appreciated.

  If I remember correctly, that's your administrator password local if it has been defined or the new password set if the model is no password defined. But then I did years ago doublecheck Yes.

• How to make a backup of Windows Vista in Mode safe

  Hello

  My computer was not able to boot into normal mode for months. We tried all the recommended malware and protection antiviruss systems, but he had no luck, so we use windows in SafeMode w / networking. I recently bought a 2 TB external hard drive and was wondering - is anyway to backup all of my photos and my important files on my external hard drive in safe mode? I read a few topics, and they all say that no backup program does work in safe mode, I don't know if that's true or not because my hard drive is shipped at the present time. And if he isn't there anyway to back up files in safe mode how do I save my files without them having erased when I factory reset? I have well over 900 GB of files.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  With this info, once in safe mode windows with cmd prompt, type: Sfc/scannow once the File Checker.

  Repair utility runs automatically. Once thru type: CHKDSK C: /F agree to restart, type: EXIT restart pc, leave the

  PC/operating system starts, SFC repairs made by car in the BACK.

  This should fix the OS, if the problems persist, opened in normal safe mode, type run or cmd: diskmgmt.msc

  in msc, L.click on the slave HD, go up all the actions, select Enable, exit msc. Open my computer, users,

  Locate the files/folders, send to slave HD. This is not the backup, it's seding user data to a storage device

• Hard drive problems Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

  Well guys, that it left me speechless.  I recently inherited a laptop from a friend who is fairly new and in good condition.  The laptop, a Toshiba Techra A9, installed Windows Vista Ultimate.  The problem that I seem to have with the laptop is that it will start Windows in normal mode but gets up to a certain point and then hangs up.  I can hear the drive trying to be rolled up and continues to make a rattling noise, similar to a folder that jumps.  The funny thing is that I can turn the machine off and restart in SafeMode w / networking with no problems.  I tried a hard drive cool to think the problem could be a faulty drive, however, the new drive does the same thing.  I installed Vista via the Toshiba Recovery CD, and from the beginning for the first time Windows has frozen, the new hard drive making the same noise as the old.  Anyone out there have any ideas why this is happening?  Install a new hard drive and having the same problem son believe me that it is related Windows or I'll have another hardware problem elsewhere on the machine.  Thank you!!

  Try to check the drivers on the computer to the hard drive. If you can, go to the MMC Console in computer management, go to the Device Manager, and then in the console tree, you should see a line of 'hard drives. Down there, you should be able to see your hard drive. Right-click and click Properties, then go to the drivers of the popup window and note the driver version number. Check on the Toshiba site and see if there are updates to the hard disk driver. If there is, then install it. In addition, you can start safe mode and run your antivirus, assuming that he himself has not been compromised. It seems to be a software problem or driver since you say that you can start safe mode.

• Windows 7 enterprise - wireless network does not work at the office

  I'm a remote worker for a company.  I travel offices across the United States and hit this problem before, but thought it was just a transitory problem.  However, now I am in our headquarters and the problem has resurfaced.  Essentially, networks under Windows 7 Enterprise associates for wireless access points but cannot obtain a DHCP address.  I tried the usual: enough and ipconfig ipconfig / renew, I took it to our support people who confirmed that the configuration is correct, we have tried uninstalling the driver and put back in place, all in vain.  The configuration of the machine is:

  
  

  Dell Latitude E6400

  Windows 7 Enterprise x 64

  Wireless: Intel 5300 AGN

  Driver:

  Vendor: Intel

  Version: 12.4.1.4

  Digital signer: Microsoft

  Path: C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\netw5v64.sys

  The wireless works now in my office at home (I have a Windows 2003, Cisco 1200 AP domain and use WPA2 with PEAP to authenticate).  Please note that the configuration has NOT changed since the last time I was in this office (about 3 weeks ago).  We are a Windows 2008 R2 using NPS area (AFAIK).  Help desk support people are completely baffled.  The good news is that the cable works fine.

  Hello Victor,.

  I don't think that it is possible to get Windows Media Player to work in Mode safe as it does start normally.
  I suggest that you work on the main problem which is screening at the blue start of your machine. I suggest you post a thread on our repair system and the recovery location here:

  How can I activate the Windows Firewall?

  When I click on it in the Control Panel, I get a message that says "Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display WIndows firewall settings".

  I use Microsoft Essentials antivirus.

  Hi Tom,

  A firewall is software or hardware that checks information coming from the Internet or a network. The firewall blocks the information or allows information to pass to your computer. If the information is blocked or passed through depends on your firewall settings. A firewall can prevent malicious software (such as worms) to access your computer through a network or the Internet. A firewall can also help stop your computer from malware sent to other computers. Windows XP, Windows XP SP2 and Windows XP SP3 includes firewall software.

  Perform the steps from the link below and see if it helps.

  How can I turn on or turn off the firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later versions?

  Hope this information helps.
