    ******************************************************
    I changed the name of working group working group, and it prompted a restart. Everything was fine until I get to the step 6. When I enter in my control panel > network and Internet connections > network connections. I do not have a "wireless network connection" icon All I have is an icon that is titled "Local Area Connection". I tried a bit of everything. I installed a front wireless PC and everything worked fine. I put a configuration program of the Linksys (Linksys Easylink Advisor) to a flash drive and installed it on my other computer, and that was all. When I try to do the same thing with this new computer, I get an error saying "wireless adapter not detected." I waited the thirty seconds before trying to detect and I don't know that I put the adapter in correctly. Can someone help me, please?

You forgot to tell us what equipment you wireless network card use, but it would seem that if you have installed this, you have not installed the drivers for it or the wireless card does not work. Normally, you don't need to go through all the steps you listed to join an existing wireless network. All you need to do - if your wireless desktop network card does not click on your wireless network and enter the encryption key to connect. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Can I have a home network that is a mix of wired and wireless, and be able to use devices connected to the pc without wire while working from a pc cable and the network map will show all?

    I have a router Linksys Wireless-N-large band with 4 catches on and 1 ethernet to my internet modem cable. Wireless connections work well in my relatively small house. Rather than to buy several USB wireless receivers, I thought just to use the ethernet # 1 and plug it into my computer close to the router.

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    It's good to hear - it means that the monitor is OK and that it is compatible with Vista.  It is still unclear on the video card or the motherboard on the computer (or any other problem this computer might have) = but one step at a time.  You have made great strides and ruled out several possible causes that we must now check or test.

    What is the EXACT error message you are getting (Word for Word)?  Which is the key to product, the manufacturer, brand, model and serial number or your computer (I assume it's using the original video card)?  What i the manufacturer, brand and model of the new monitor?

    Even if you could get the Microsoft drivers (which I don't think you can), you should take them to the device manufacturer or the manufacturer of the computer, if they moved on the computer.  They are likely to be more current and have fewer problems.  And you want drivers, firmware and software necessary or required by the device (they will be either the list which is available or you can ask for help and they should direct you to what you need).  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you shouldget to the monitor, the video card and the motherboard and all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows:http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

    I hope that drivers will solve the problem.  If not, we have to try something else (not sure what yet, but we will come with an option).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Hmm sometimes an old driver WLan could be a reason for such boring behaviors of Wlan connection.
    That is why it s always advised to be up-to-date with the WLan driver.

  • Anyone with the problem of not show apple tv on the same wifi to connect the new application remote control (with the last operating system both on device)?

    Tried to connect the new (launched in July 2016) Apple Remote app, I'm not able to add the Apple Tv from my iphone (5 c), because it does not show apple tv to connect even on the same wifi. I use the latest os on iphone and TVos 9.3.3.

    9.3.3 isn't the latest version of the software for your phone or your Apple TV.

    Try the following steps for the Apple TV 4, check if things work after each step if necessary, before you try the next.

    1. Restart the Apple TV (settings > system > restart).
    2. Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL cables for 30 seconds.
    3. Restart your router. (Also try to remove the power cord for at least 30 seconds)

  • I'm trying to connect my Acer X 1160 projector to my new HP laptop without success. Any suggestions

    I, ve recently bought a HP Pavilion laptop g6 running Windows 7.

    I tried to connect my Acer X 1160 projector for some time now without success.

    I find the projector in my devices, I downloaded records, etc., but no response.

    The message of the projector is "no signal".

    I, ve tried the obvious 'connect to a projector' without success.

    I would be grateful of any advice.

  • 1st generation ATV dead. Orange light but no screen and no resetting of distance.  I tried direct connection to Mac and iTunes open and he's not here.  Is it possible to restore to the factory without screen or remote work

    1st generation Apple TV is dead. Orange light but no screen and no resetting of distance. I tried direct connection to Mac and iTunes open and he's not here. Is it possible to restore to the factory without screen or remote workin

    I guess you tried maintained low men together for about 6 seconds - silver 1 ATV that will restart to the diagnostic partition but who would rely on the hard disk is functional and if it was ok that wouldn't work with the logic board failure.

    I guess you have not fed and attempted to restart.

    In case your AppleTV think it is paired with another remote try Menu and left arrow for 6 seconds - the light now intervenes when you press the buttons on the remote?

    Also, it could be in the video mode bad - try Menu and upward arrow together for 6 CES switch video modes, but implies that he actually started OK.

    Hello giant,

    It is not possible to use 16-bit on a 64-bit computer applications/games.

    However, you can download and install Wondows XP Mode for windows 7. Later, you can install your 16-bit application in XP mode.

    You can download the application from the link given:
