  Wireless card not working after a clean install of Windows Vista

  I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Pavilion of 32 bits. I've completely updated Windows via Service Pack 2. Given that the clean install, my wireless card, Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, was not able to detect all the networks. The Wifi card is listed under NICs as being installed and activated. the hardware on my laptop Wifi switch is set on "on" and the light is blue, indicating that the card is working.

  I can connect to the internet if I connect physically my computer to the modem with an ethernet cable wireless, so the modem isn't the problem. Other computers can connect to the wireless modem, so my Wifi modem functionality is not the problem. The problem with my computer.

  I tried to uninstall the Intel driver and reboot my computer with the generic driver. Install the driver generic, but my wireless card has not always worked. I then ran an update of windows, nothing helps.

  I tried to install the "Intel® PRO /? Wireless and WiFi Link"drivers for Windows Vista (32-bit 13.1.1.1 the latest version and the previous version 12.4.4.5 32-bit) for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN directly from the Intel Web site at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+WiFi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+WiFi+Link+4965AGN. The map didn't always work with a driver.

  In addition to the pilots, I also downloaded a tool of diagnosis of Intel (Intel® PROSet /?) Utility of WiFi wireless connection for Windows Vista 32 -? Bit). Said diagnostic tool the WiFi card is not installed or enabled, however, Device Manager maintains that he is also installed and active.

  Is there a problem that causes Device Manager to say that all is well with the card, but does not map to realize that they diminish the radio signals? Everything's fine, diagnostic, it just does not detect networks around him. Help, please.

  Hello

  The on/off switch actually works?

  Since it is an internal adapter to ensure it is enabled in the settings of configuration/F2 (BIOS/CMOS) often like you
  Start - so look at the screen.

  Have you tried the computer on other WiFi networks? You had a WiFi type problem before the
  Re-install of Vista?

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
  Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
  obstacles in the path?

  Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

  Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
  version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
  Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Portege M300 - Ubuntu, bootmgr error

  Hi guys,.

  I hope you can help, I spent 2 days reading similar posts, but nothing seems to work.

  I installed Ubuntu on an external hard drive (using my Vista machine). Can I boot Ubuntu from my Vista machine without any problem.

  However, I now want to use this hard drive Ubuntu in my new NetBook (for me). (Toshiba, Portege, M300). However when I install my Ubuntu HD in this machine I get the infamous error "bootmgr is missing". I REALLY hate this error now.

  So I did my research and give EACH of them thinking that I should use my Vista recovery DVDs for this problem. Why the hell do I need to use a Vista CD when it comes to pure Ubuntu installation?

  Can someone give me some ideas? Computers laptop Toshiba require Bootmgr (i.e. an installation of windows?)

  Please PLEASE help,
  Marc

  PS thanks in advance...

  You don't need a special boot manager, Linux should start very well after a successful installation.

  Did you delete all partitions on the HARD disk before you install Linux?

  It seems that the Windows boot sector is still installed.

• Portege M300 - how to install driver LAN

  Hello

  I got a new hard drive put in my Portege M300 and managed to get the drivers all released on except the lan and a modem.
  I found the drivers here and make them, but which file do I use to install the application? ...
  I have one that says "PRO network driver uninstaller connections" but nothing obvious for amd installation... no files for directions...

  Any help appreciated.

  Thank you

  How to install the LAN driver?
  It is very easy, you can install it in the Device Manager.

  First of all, you need the correct LAN driver.
  You can find the Portege M300 on the Toshiba drivers European page driver-> * Archives *.

  After the LAN driver has been downloaded, you must unzip this package.
  Then go to Device Manager, select the unknown device (NIC) in the network adapters, select install or update the driver and follow the instructions on the screen.

• Impossible to install Common-modules on Portege M300

  Hello everyone,

  I'm Italian and I had some problems with a Portege M300. After the crash of Windows XP, I did a fresh install of XP but, of course, I lost all drivers. I tried to install, but I can't do that because it doesn't have the Toshiba common modules installed.

  I downloaded it, but when I try to click on the setup icon nothing happens, and when I try to install other drivers same message appear (of the missing of the common modules).
  How can I solve this problem?

  Thank you very much

  If you crash the system why you back up all important data and install the OS by using delivered Toshiba recovery CD facilities?
  After doing this you will own preinstalled OS and everything works well again.

  I know it's a solution more radical but maybe one that suits.
  What do you think about this?

• Should I have a WiFi card installed?

  I googled this to death and had an email back & forth with HP support and I'm still not the wisest. I hope someone can help with a definitive answer.

  I have a desktop PC HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 170 bought in Australia. The product say that there a "wireless card 802.11 b/g/n Mini PCI-Express half-length" installed.

  When I go to control panel > DeviceManager > network adapters, the present one is a 'Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.

  If I try to download/install the driver for the wireless card I get the error message "your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update. Update has been canceled. (9996).

  I'm not that familiar with that sort of thing, but all this does not seem to suggest that I don't have a WiFi card installed?

  I have to pull the sides the computer turned off and physically take a look? If so, where exactly?

  Hello:

  If you do not see the model of network card wireless list in addition to the wired Realtek card, it could be one of 3 things...

  1. you are correct and either HP forgot to install the card, or the card is incoreect.

  2. If you see a device listed as a network controller listed in the other devices category in Device Manager, then the wireless card is present and the drivers must be installed.

  3. the wireless card is installed but is defective as DOA, or PCIe x 1 adapter that holds the card to the motherboard is loose and has a bad connection.

  Here is the link to the service manual for your PC.  I have not your model, so I have no idea where to find other than to tell you that the wireless card will have a wire antenna plugged on it and it will be mounted in one of the small slots PCIe x 1 on the motherboard via a larger map.

• Portege M300: Format SD card - 1 GB instead of 2 GB problem

  Hello

  I used the "SD memory card Format" preinstalled on my Portege M300 laptop utility to format a 2 GB SD card (in accordance with the recommendation of Toshiba). The operation was succsesful, but the card cannot be read (he seems to have a RAW file system). In addition, try to put a FAT or FAT32 partition using the windows format utility results in partition of 1 GB instead of 2 GB!

  The card had a 2 GB FAT partition and has worked flawlessly before using the Toshiba utility. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Can I do to restore the original capacity is the card?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Are you sure it's a SD and MMC card as one not another, for example at 100%?
  The Toshiba utility supports only SD cards!
  How format you the SD card?
  As far as I know, there are two different format options:
  Quick format - only deletes the directory structure
  Full size SD card, everything will be deleted
  This utility formats SD to the SD format memory card.

  The other possibility is that you have used the Toshiba SD memory Boot utility
  It is a utility that can create a map of SD memory on a startup disk. As far as I know that use the RAW file system.

• No DHCP / wrong IP of open networks - Portege M300

  Hello

  IM using a Portege M300 with a built-in wlan card. I have w2k with sp 4 installed. My problem is that I can connect very often to open wlan points, but most of the time that my computer can't pick the right IP address or dhcp server. I've experienced this in many different places and now Im seeing this again in a network home. WEP is disabled, so is mac filtering and all other computers on the wireless network work just fine, but not my laptop. In this case, I checked the router and the ip address range is in the range 192, but my laptop contains an ip address that begins with 169.

  Does anyone have an idea what could be my problem?

  Sincerely

  Johan

  Hi Johan

  Believe me on this path is not easy to tell exactly what is happening in your case. The fact is that a lot of people have similar problems. Not because of Toshiba for laptop or same Portege M300, but because of the wireless card. It is known that card WiFi Intel 2200 B/g do some connection problems.

• HP ENVY laptop - 13-d045tu: BCM43142 change on Envy 13 wifi card

  My laptop is currently using

  Combination 792608-005 BCM43142 of Broadcom 802.11 wireless network adapter b/g/n 1 x 1 Wi - Fi and BluteTooth 4.0 m2

  There is problem of BOUNCING on Windows 10 wifi connectivity so I change to another card and at the same time offering an AC 5 GHz connectivity.

  One of the options I'm considering is Intel AC 7265 (HP part no 793840-005) that comes standard in the variant of other Envy 13 sold elsewhere.

  Newer that I am wanting to NGFF Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 (8260NGW)is another model.

  Can anyone tell if there are fears white list on the question if these cards above would work on my laptop?

  Should I get the AC7265, I get the part specific HP itself or the Intel will do?

  Thanks in advance guys!

  Hugo

  You can safely assume that any HP laptop with a 4th generation Intel Core processor or newer has no whitelist wireless and yours is 6th generation if you are safely beyond the question of the white list. However, the real problem comes another question HP Wireless: the single antenna module, which is now installed in most HP laptops. Most of the 1 x 1 b/g/n modules have only a single antenna that makes it impossible to get to something that works in the 5 GHz band.

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See p. 31. The manual shows 2 antennas and I hope that's right but the only way to be sure is to open and just look. If you see a single antenna wireless, I shut up and look for a usb dongle that is compatible with 802.11ac. Or prepare for a complete teardown add a second antenna.

  The AC 7265 is good enough, if you have two antennas to support.

  You also might as well get the variant of HP that HP has a big enough market share that are still lacking these autour and they do not cost more:

• Portege M300 - replacement of HARD drive failed

  Dear all,

  I have a Portege M300 I bought around 3 or 4 years and I am very happy with and without any problems. The laptop came originally with a 60GB and I wanted to upgrade to one with greater capacity, a 160 GB! My laptop is about 1.2 GB of Ram and runs on windows XP SP3.

  I recently bought a Samsung HD-160 (160GB) which should be compatible with my laptop. After installing from scratch and used for about 2 weeks, the computer suddenly stopped. HARD drive stopped spinning and a #0 ERROR came when I tried to restart. There was NO WAY to drive HARD turn again so I contacted Samsung and they replace. The HARD drive has a slight smell of burnt component but very light.
  I replaced the HDD failed with a 2nd replacement and to my disbelief, the SAME THING happened again just after 3 hours of use! I contacted Samsung and once more they will send replace me, with the same type of hard disk. I tried to get explanations of Toshiba and Samsung for why this happens, but so far I have no explanation.
  Without hesitation, I gave my original 60 GB Toshiba drive who was thankfully still my documents and the laptop is happy again touch wood.

  What I am doing wrong? can someone help me please go to the bottom of this so I do not experience the same problem with my 3rd replacement? I wish I had a bigger hard drive on my laptop and I think all of them must be compatible. I buy one that should be compatible with my Portege M300. Both are valued at 5 v

  I have to add to what has just occurred to me now that I have installed all the Toshiba original programs too on my Samsung HDD out of Windows XP, including the utility that protects the disk in case of Vibrations. This could be the problem by any chance? This utility only for Toshiba's brand HARD drive? Any ideas or other suggestions on this issue please?

  Thank you very much for your attention.

  Carmine

  Portege M300 is pretty old laptop and maybe you should be careful with these upgrades.
  According to specification for laptop, your laptop can handle with 100 GB hard drives, but I'm sure you can use 120 GB as well.

  Then maybe you should try to upgrade the disk with 120 GB of HARD drive to see if everything will be OK. I think also 120 GB is enough and you have enough free space for the data backup.
  What do you think about this?

• Installation of a missing mini PCI WiFi card in the Satellite 2450 101?

  My Satellite s2450-101 seems devoid of a WiFi card.

  There is no mention of such a card in the adapters in device Manager\Network, which lists the following three elements: 1) 1394 Net adapter MAC bridge Miniport) 2 and 3) Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
  The Wireless Communication switch on "on" does not have the led lights up.
  By pressing Fn + F8, that should turn the wireless LAN has no effect.

  Responses to the following would be much appreciated:

  The laptop S2450-101 comes equipped with a mini PCI WiFi card in standard, or not?

  If so, how can it be activated?

  If it is not the case, how can we install such a mini-PCI card? The laptop is more two years and more under warranty.

  Sincere thanks.

  Hello

  I found the info that this unit is ready WLAN and is attributed to the WLAN option in option. Check please the Device Manager and see if the wireless adapter is listed under network adapter. If this is not the case, the device is without wireless network card.

  Let us know if the card is on board and we can write once again how the card must be activated.

  I'm not 100% sure but I think that the WLAN slot is placed under the keyboard. There is also the antenna cables (black and white cable). Update is not a problem, and you can only do so at your own risk of course. ;)

  Unfortunately I put t know exactly what WLAN card is compatible. If you want you can use the external solution. It is much easier.
