Three XP laptops to work keep losing all settings 'Favorite networks' all of a sudden without reason.

My laptop is running Vista and has been fine, but we have three laptops on XP that suddenly stopped connecting to the wireless router.

I noticed that the list of connections (there is more than one saved on them, and they're all gone, so I don't think it's a problem with the router) keep 'Favorite networks' in the process of disappearance, but I can't find any results online where people have suffered the same problems so I could not find a solution for this at all.

It started one day last week.

When I try manually add network again, press 'ok' and then reopen preferred networks, it will sometimes go away already.

When I restart it retains the settings sometimes and other times it doesn't but we cannot spend all day raise them until they work.

Any ideas at all?

Thank you very much.

I must point out that the computers are not connected to a server (just the router which is the same as it has always been). There is no hardware or changes to the software I know, but it could have been a Windows update a few days before. Since I tried to remove this update with a system restore, but it has not solved the problem. I installed MSE on all three computers and date and the display of the green box with a white tick.

Thank you!

  • Computer keeps going all of a sudden "hibernation" mode

    I read a related thread that was close to my problem, but it wasn't quite the same thing.

    Now, when I close the lid, my computer goes into hibernation.  This is what I expect and want.  When I open it up, it asks for a password and goes back to the desktop or where I was.  Fine.

    This has recently started to happen:

    I'm going to work - even in the middle of typing an e-mail - and the screen will suddenly black.  I have to hold the power switch for a second or two (but not quite a long time to do a reset) to get the password screen.  I go, press the arrow, and it refers directly to what I was doing - even in the middle of a Word.

    What is probably happening, and can I fix?

    Some laptops will Hibernate suddenly without warning when they are overheated. Are your fans clean?

    I think so.  I use my laptop on the top one of these bases, which has two fans.  I think that I'm here.

  • Small caps works do not all of a sudden

    Hello

    I have problems with a typeface in a pamphlet that I'm working on.  Earlier the saved file versions are fine, but I'm curious as to why all of a sudden, my "small caps" are not working in two character Styles and activating / disabling the option outside of the character Styles.  It only occurs with the font I want to use: Futura Std.  If I complete with Gill without, or something, it seems to work very well then.  What could cause this, and why it would work at the earliest versions recorded, but not my new packaged version?  It works with my plain "Futura", but not my OpenTypeface "Futura Std." thoughts?

  • All of a sudden without effect on the adjustment brush

    Hello.

    I use Photoshop CS5 with the latest Camera Raw.

    My problem is that all of a sudden, the adjustment brush doen't work. All functions still ok, but it has no effect when you use the brush to clarify or darken an area. I think it must be something that I pressed by mistake or so.

    I'm very desperate. Please someone help me before I have to reinstall the product again. Thank you very much

    Ensure that the flow and the density of the sliders are greater than zero (see screenshot below). In addition, activating / disabling "Show mask" is useful when you are trying to see if adjustment is applied, especially when the adjustment slider is close to zero.

    Hello

    One day, when the closure of Windows Vista SP2, nothing don't is past he stayed on my desk and regardless of how many times I pressed close to the start menu, nothing happened. I was pressed so disabled the stop button.

    The next time that I put on, networking has failed. I went to Device Manager and all my wireless devices have an error code of-31.

    Also when I went to the network icon in the taskbar, it looks like:

    Connection status: unknown.

    The dependency service or group was able to start.

    I went back to the Device Manager and uninstalled some of my network devices, then reinstalled them via the HP Web site. Thinking it would be simple, I rebooted my computer.

    Network cards work, but he always said:

    Connection status: unknown.

    The dependency service or group was able to start.

    On the network icon and my computer would only connect to my network home with ' limited which means no internet access or network. "

    So I already have:

    • Uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers.
    • Started in Safe Mode, where it didn't always work, with active networking.
    • Tried to connect
    And it still doesn't work so I hope some of you can help please?
    Thank you.

  • iCloud sync works do not all of a sudden

    I have iMac, iPhone, iPad 9.7 Pro and iPad Air-1 - 6s all set up to sync, and everything was fine until a few weeks ago.

    Safari & photo stream always sync ok, but the Contacts, calendars, reminders are synchronized with all devices.

    The latest appears in iCloud.com - what is good.  Also appears in applications of iMac - it's good.  But do not show up in the iPhone or the iPad unless news comes from the device.  New iMac also will not sync to devices.

    (Using the new iMac with OS 10.9.5 and all devices with iOS 9.3.1 - was ok in this way until recent times)

    Any ideas?

    Try the settings/iCloud and remove the synchronization. Wait a few minutes and then resynchronize.

    Have you tried the signature to iCloud and then reconnect?
