  • After sysytem restored in windows 7 Home Edition, laptop can't connect to the internet.

    Personal salvation of support
    I have a lenovo laptop with windows 7 Home Edition on it, whenever I have a system restore I have following problem with network connection.

    • WiFi: the problem with the Wi - Fi connection is it says it has limited connection to the internet, the system receives a valid ip address of modem/router (DHCP). But system is unable to ping the address of the router (gateway address), similarly it cannot ping localhost or 127.0.0.1. It says general failure. Then I try to give the IP address manually on the wireless card, but I have the same problems
    • Wired: when I turn off the wireless connection and want to connect to the laptop via a network cable to the router I have the same problem, it cannot ping the localhost or 127.0.0.1.

    I tried the following, but it didn't work.

    • ipconfig enough and ipconfig/renew
    • Flushing the DNS system
    • netsh winsock reset all.
    • netsh int ip reset all.

    I saw several online forums, but couldn't find the solution to this problem, the only solution is to restore the system to factory setting, and then it works. Wired and wireless network works fine

    What is the solution to this problem, this is not an appropriate solution, is it a windows M S for this solution.

    Your help is highly appreciated

    Thank you

    Open network and sharing Center, click on your wireless network connection.
    Click Properties, double-click Internet Version 4 Protocol.
    Select obtain an IP automatically, and select obtain dns server address automatically.
    check if it works

    Open Control Panel, click hardware and sound. under devices and printers, click Device Manager. Expand network adapters and then double-click your network adapter. go to the driver tab and then click on set to update driver (leave the pc it automatically searches).

  • After trying to install Service Pack 3 on XP Professional, Windows will start is no longer

    Windows XP Pro prompted me to install SP3... I agreed and walked away (first check that norton was disabled)... Walkind on next day and noticed that the system has been stuck on the boot screen (before the windows logo)... tried restart and the same thing... I assumed on the previous expierence base installation reboots the machine, so I don't think that it was necessary to monitor the installation... (I installed before SP on this machine, but had to reformat drive due to the virus)... while I sit now im at a loss as to what do then... any advice you could offer would be great!

    THX :)

    This thread has some steps you can try, but you will get probably best suggestions of the Windows XP forum.

    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistawu/thread/b5638b85-A245-4b76-89D5-a40ff8d9facb

    The error they get in the thread is not the same (they get a blue screen), but the steps to solve are similar.

    You should look at trying to boot into safe mode, and then try a system restore, Scandisk, Chkdsk and potentially start last good known Configuration.

    I hope this helps.

  • I can't restart after repair reinstallation of Windows XP Home Edition SP3 Pro, or configuration.

    My demension 8200 Dell, Windows XP Pro SP 3, was causing me problems, mainly because of my incorrect tweeking.

    I ran my XP Pro CD, in = repair reinstall mode who downloaded for 1 1/2 hours, then asked I enter the menu Setup F2 or F12 Boot device.

    I did the two F12 & F2, and all the content in the F12 is a menu choice, which, once I chose individually, finished with a redo 'Strike F1 to retry. F12 for Setup. ».

    In F2, all content are enabled, but I wonder primary drive 0 hard

  • How to recover data after the upgrade to Windows XP Home Edition?

    Original title: lost data

    My Windows XP program has been replaced by Windows XP Home Edition. Some data was not justified.

    Is it possible to recover the data?

    My Windows XP program has been replaced by Windows XP Home Edition. Some data was not justified.

    Is it possible to recover the data?

    First of all, please note that Windows XP Home Edition is an edition of Windows XP. So it makes no sense to say that your "Windows XP program has been replaced by Windows XP Home." Exactly what edition of Windows XP you have before it was replaced with XP Home?

    In the second place, who did the replacement, and exactly how it was? Was this an upgrade? A new installation? He did go in Windows or by booting from the CD XP Home?

    Thirdly, it was not justified to exactly what data?

    Fourth, it depends on your answers to the above questions, but in all likelihood, it says No Mo is quite right: If you do not have a backup of your data on an external, you're probably out of luck, and the data are gone.

    You can read this article on the backup that I wrote: 'Return to top your computer regularly and reliable' to http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=314

  • The brightness of the display function is not after installing Service Pack 2

    Hi, I had installed Service Pack 2 as recommended by the window update (my laptop is HP DV5 series). After installation, my screen resolution has changed and so I put it back to normal. But the strange thing is, I can't change the brightness of the screen by clicking on Fn + F keys that I've always done. The function to change the brightness in the power option is too much missing.

    Problem is solved after I restore the window. FN + F keys work, and re-emerged the brightness option in the Option to. The problem is, should I go for the new update that remind me of in the update of the window? Thank you!

    Hi all

    I suggest that you download and install the latest version of the software of the manufacturing.  Software installation utility your function keys should work again.

  • After you install service pack 2 for windows vista

    After installing service pack 2 for windows vista on my HP laptop, I started having a few problems. First off the computer would not go beyond the Welcome screen because he showed that an update was the installation (step 1 of 3:0 % etc.) and the computer reboots before finish. It kept the case whenever I started upward, even on safe mode. I tried to restore, but it would never be completed and nothing else would work. Now I can't go beyond the microsoft loading screen because it shows a black flat screen with no cursor. I can't enter safe mode. Help, please. Safe mode only shows the start screen but won't start so I can't access the control panel and tried to boot to the last known successful startup but it failed.
