"the network is not present or started" after the execution of the configuration of the network. Why?

I have a laptop that I used it on a network of small business with printers shared running a Microsoft network.   I was able to see the hard drives, printers, files and folders on the other machines for the past year, without problem.

I recently installed Norton Internet Security Suite and since this operation were not able to connect to the local network< but="" i="" have="" full="" internet="" access. ="" i="" can="" see="" the="" router="" and="" surf="" the="">

When I click on the already mapped network Drives (Y and Z on my computer) I get the following popup error:

An error occurred while reconnecting Z: to \\servername\mydirectory

Microsoft Windows Network: The network is not present or started.

This connection has not been restored.

So I tried to debug as follows.

I called Norton.  They compeltely uninstalled after internet security and reinstalled using smart firewall.
(It does not)
 
I disabled Norton and tried to update the drive netowrk / reconnection
(It does not)

I disabled Norton and represented the Network Setup Wizard. Rebooted, tried to reconnect
(Which did not).

whenever I tried to connect, the error message.

If the Windows network turned then how can I access the network?

I don't see all the computers on the network.
I can not connect to the printer, I was connected previously.
The drive mappings, I set up back same Netowrk not started error when I click on them.
There is no other computers on my network
I have the same workgroup name (MSHOME) as other computers that CAN share resources.

I use a Compaq Presario M2000 laptop
Running Windows XP Home Edition (SP 3)
trying to connect to a Waindows XP Home w / shared desktop printer.

Thoughts, suggestions?

Notes: Microsoft Windows Network: the network is not present or not started


"I started to see this message on a Windows XP SP2 computer, but not on the other in the same room. I couldn't understand why it was happening I was watching the Samba server to connect, and the machine was not connect at all. In addition, this specific message was not really on the Web.

The answer is quite simple - run services.msc and enable the Workstation . I had turned off, rebooted and forgotten on this subject. »

My apologies.  I'm REALLY surprised that I couldn't find the answer on the forum to help here.  But now, it's here.  Hope this helps someone else who has the same problem and cannot find the solution.

    Hi Kim,

    First of all thanks for respone and sorry for the delay to return but am in Australia so bit of a lag in time!

    OK the sequence goes as follows:

    1 gigabyte MB BIOS screen - at this stage sensitive keyboard and I can access BIOS OK.

    2. new screen - PCI resources; Checking DMI Pool etc. ;

    3. new screen - "Please choose which startup option:

    4. new screen - "check you computer hardware configuration...".

    5. new screen - "the file awduu36e.sys is not found. Press a key to continue. "

    As the keyboard is unresponsive after the BIOS screen I have no way of influencing the order above.

    Other relevant points:

    -When you make commissioning/repair day I received the message to halfway through - "awduu36e.sys file is not found" and the option start over or ignore; after another attempt to a couple of times I chose skip so I guess that I got myself into this mess. What is awduu36e.sys anyway?

    Looks like you are leaving it too late to use F8 (must be before the OS options appear)- and you have a partial installation of some versions of Windows in progress seeking the file on a CD.

  • Not possible to start after recovery

    Hello

    Yesterday my Toshiba Satellite L555-110 is not stopped correctly. It looked like endless loop, while Win 7 (64 bit) showed "logout". I turned the laptop off (5 sec power button). After that, Windows is not started anymore. There was a black with a message screen as 'Please make sure that all devices such as hard disks, CD-Rom drives, etc. are well connected and try again.
    I thought that I hit the file system and started a live Knoppix CD. I tried to fix the file system with ntfsfix on each partition. This does not solve the problem, so I tried to fix Win7 with the Original Win7 from my other computer disk. In the installation menu repair tools is not started, so I had to stop the computer again.

    I thought that the problem could be the MBR after that. I searched the web and found a "command of Knoppix'"sudo testdisk"with the option"write MBR ". After trying this, the error message has changed, that the computer does not recognize the bootloader more. Here, I decided to use the recovery DVD that I created after purchasing the laptop.

    Once the recovery is finished, I tried to boot Win7, but there was a new error message (on a black screen) who told me that there are files broken in C:\Windows\system32\drivers.
    As my girlfriend has the same model of laptop computer than me, I decided to copy the folder "drivers" of his laptop (after the renaming the originial files), start knoppix, and copy it to my laptop. While trying to boot Windows with the 'safe mode' option there is no error message more appear, but now I have a hangup.
    After that I tried to install Win7 with the original disc in my other computer, but when you try to install, there is a message 'C:\$Secure' kind of broke down. Try the chkdsk command. Repair tools has not responded (infinite loop) after a few minutes of trying to find the Windows installations

    Can someone help me? I have no idea what to do at this point

    If you have two absolutely identical laptops equipped with identical hardware put HARD drive laptop s girlfriend in your laptop and try to start Windows.

    Hello
    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    As you mentioned that your HP desktop computer is not able to start after a reboot.

    I would first disconnect the backup / external drive and check if you are able to start or not.

    I suggest to go to the BIOS and boot sequence and select the internal hard drive as first boot device.

    NOTE: BIOS change / complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Setting changes are made at your own risk.

    If the problem persists. I suggest that get you in touch with HP support in order to solve this problem.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:
