Reference Dell 5520, updated to Windows 8, lost control of Wi - Fi

I bought a Dell Inspiron 15R model 5520 with Windows 7.  Everything worked well and I had a Wi - Fi access.

I've updated to Windows 8, but now I have no wireless access.  I opened the PC settings and confirmed that airplane Mode is disabled and Blue-tooth is turned on.  I have no other settings on this screen.  I have used the Fn & F2 keys and confirmed that the Wi - Fi light on the front of the laptop is off, and then turn it back on.

A wired connection works fine.  When I ran for a new network troubleshooting, no router is listed, even though I know that there are several routers available to my other laptop and my eReader devices.  How to access my Wi - Fi controls?

Thank you.

It worked!  Now, I have Wi - Fi connection controls and can connect wirelessly to the internet.

Thank you very much.  You are the best.

As you requested, I have deleted the two items and posted my info below.

  • Reference Dell optiplex 320 running windows xp lost all sounds

    Recently, I lost all sound, I tried to uninstall & reinstall my audio drivers

    but continues to come up with the error code 39, when I try to reinstall or update the drivers

    It is also in place with the wizard is unable to find a better match for your hardware

    the currently installed software? All popular solutions

    It's no big thing to go on so only ideas in time...

    A 39 error means that your drivers are somehow corrupt.

    According to Dell, your audio drivers are here:

    http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/DriversList.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=Gen&SystemID=PLX_PNT_320&OS=WW1&OSL=en

    Since there is only one choice for the audio drivers, when you got the drivers you trying to install?

    If this is not the place, which is the first place you should look for drivers.

    I uninstall the old driver first (from Device Manager), download the new drivers and run the downloaded driver. File EXE from the site of Dell and make what is said.

    If your system uses to work properly, what do you think has happened since the last time, he did not work properly?

  • Major update of Windows 7 = lost everything...

    Hey there.

    I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 ultimate installed on it. I recently did a huge update that had the little pop up at the bottom right of my screen saying something like: this is an important update, your computer will restart in 15 minutes. So I decided to do and went.

    When I came back, I lost everything... And I mean everything! I am a digital artist with photoshop CS5 and other programs, I had hundreds of photos and several paid and other programs... Went. It was as if I just bought a new laptop. With firefox and recycle bin on my background.

    If you know a way to get everything back, please let me know.

    cordially MartiLav

    Hi MartiLav,

    Perform the System Restore to an earlier date updates you mention in your question. This should restore your computer to its previous state.

  • Reference Dell Webcam Central and Windows XP (also Windows 7)

    For all the frustrated Dell customers out there who bought Dell computers delivered with Dell Webcam Central, only to have the application stops working with the built-in webcam ("Please plug in a supported webcam"), here is the link to a recent version of the Dell Webcam Central application:

    It is version 1.40.05.  This is the full installation, not an upgrade and includes the "Live!" Cam Avatar Creator software.  I have installed this package on my Inspiron 1012 running Windows XP Home Edition, and it works perfectly.  It is also the same version that shipped with my Studio 1558 running under Windows 7 64-bit.

    I'm not absolutely sure, but I think that the problem is caused when Windows Automatic Updates installs a new integrated version of the webcam driver (this is a Microsoft driver).  The old version of Webcam Central (such as 1.06 or earlier version) does not recognize the updated driver level.

    Don't bother download the 'DellWebcamSW' that Support Dell continues to try to direct me to via "tinyurl.com" (http://ftp.us.dell.com/app/DellWebcamSW.exe) - it is a version older that that delivered with my Inspiron 1012 and therefore will not even install.

    Dell really needs to pull together their support, at least when it comes to software.  They had download me Dell Webcam Central (at least three or four times), they sent me a CD to install the Dell Webcam Central, they even sent me a new hard drive previously imaged.  Downloads and CD always contains the same version that came bundled with my 1012, or even older, even though I told them I needed a newer version, and the new hard drive do not even have the application installed (I sent the new rear drive and kept my old drive).

    And don't bother looking on the site drivers and downloads (whether through the service tag or computer model).  He is not here, for my Inspiron 1012 or my Studio 1558, or for any other model of computer, I looked.  (The Inspiron 1012 list includes even not all the same drivers that requires my computer.)

    Zamolxe,

  • Windows updates driver Nvidia and Nvidia Control panel stops working

    I was choosing to update the video card myself with the latest driver 310.09 being installed, and everything was fine. Then I started having "failed to initialize Nvidia Control Panel, you don't have permission to access or access denied errors at startup and to the continuation of the investigation I found updated encrypted files (c:\windows\system32\nvcpl.dll being one of many) and a Nvidia driver recent 311 already in the section updates installed windows from the control panel."

    Now, I have no Nvidia Control Panel, but I managed to roll back the driver to 310.09, but still with no possibility to install driver 314, or remove any previous version using uninstallers. I'm stuck in the middle with nowhere to go!  I want my back Nvidia Control Panel, and I hate error messages!

    Intel i5 processor 3770 3.4Gig

    GT video card 620

    Windows 8 Pro / clean install

    16 gig Ram

    1 T HD

    Problem not solved! When I did the screen went black, with me ends up having to re-start, the machine came back, and before I can do anything Windows back to or downloaded 311 driver and I'm at square one. Impossible to uninstall any Nvidia or reinstall anything Nvidia.

    If Windows will update a 3rd party driver why it deletes the old software first. Now I have the supplied Windows driver 311 mixed with the old Nvidia provided 310 software update! It's no wonder that nothing works!

    Sorry to here that you still have the problem...

    Start the computer in safe mode (press F8 continuously immediately after power and don't worry beeps when you press the button) and let it boot without a network.  Once there right click on the desktop and then click Properties.  Click settings and the value of the monitor mode (640 X 480) VGA or SVGA (800 X 600).  Accept the changes and restart the computer.  You should have a mediocre screen, but you should see it now.  Download and install the appropriate drivers for your video card in the laptop to the web site of the manufacturer of the laptop.  Install the drivers and then you should be able to set the display of the laptop to the correct native resolution for your computer monitor (must be in the documentation of the laptop).
