Vista Home premium - cannot remove a network connection.

I have administrator rights and remove button in "manage network connections", I get a pop up - but the connection that it does not remove.  Several reboots.
Pls advise.  Thank you

Hello

Follow the steps below to remove the old network connections on a Windows vista computer.

(1) use your mouse to click on the start menu, and then select Control Panel.

2) click the button on "Network and Internet" Control Panel and select network and sharing Center.

3) click on the tab "manage network connections".

(4) find the old network connections you want to remove in the scroll bar. According to the number of connections you currently have in Windows Vista, it is possible that you need to scroll a bit to find the one you want to delete.

5) click on the old connection you want to remove.

6) click on the button 'delete '.

(7) to confirm your selection by pressing 'Yes' when asked if you are sure you want to remove the connection. You can also choose to press 'Cancel' or 'No' to return to the previous screen and prohibit the removal of the connection.

(8) notes that you can also change the network through the Network Wizard. Simply click on start, then "Connect To" and "show all connections".

(9) select the network connection you want to change by clicking right on it and selecting the option you want. You can choose 'Disable' the connection, which would roughly have the same effect that completely removing, making it inactive.

(10) press the button 'Delete' after clicking on a network connection in the network connection window. This will completely remove the connection in the same way that detached from the control panel.

  • Windows Vista Home Premium cannot find Xbox 360 as extender

    This may be long but im giving information as possible.

    I'm good with the computer. My Vista Home Premium computer cannot find my xbox 360 as an Extender. When I use the WIndows media player 11 and share, he sees my xbox very well. Zune software, same thing. My xbox 360 is here no problem on my network in "My Network Places".

    In Media Center, once I typed the 8 digit number it is said that he can not find the Extender. I did the following:

    Reset my router
    Reformat my computer
    Reset my xbox 360
    Double checked I got the right 8-digit number in media center
    Disabled windows firewall
    Went to the tab exceptions and compatible: WIndows Media Center, Media Center Extender, eshell.exe, discovery network
    went to the management of the computer and turned on UPnP device host (changed the startup type to automatic and restarted my computer)
    Permit "filter multicast" in my router settings
    UPnp enabled in my router settings
    Upgrade Vista (with SP1 as well)
    Re-installed the drivers for my wireless card
    Connected to the Xbox 360 WIRED to my router

    Heres the funny thing, I have a Sony laptop vaio with Windows Media Center Edition 2005 on the same network that sees my xbox all the time. Its actually connected through a microsoft extension program (XboxMCE05Lite - enu.exe) basically it works fine.

    One funny thing that may help with my vista (Home premium) Windows Remote Assistant machine fails or the other.

    Any ideas? If this can help, too, this computer is built on the ground.  Sense, this isn't a HP, Dell, Sony, etc.

    Network equipment:
    Router Linksys WRT54G
    Map of Netgear WG311v3 54 Mbps Wireless

    works fine with my other laptop. So I guess that the problem must be my wireless card. I guess that's a PCI card it would have nothing to do with the problem. I'm going tomorrow to buy a NIC. USB Im not in a race simply because my internet works very well without getting a new network card. I am just puzzled and would like to get this to work because I hate running through computer problems and in abeyance. I'll get one tomorrow and let you know the guy.

  • A hard time with the drivers for Vista Home Premium computer laptop computer network with Windows 7

    OK, I've read tons of information on that and I'm stumped.  I have an Epson Stylus CX6600 all-in-one printer.  I have my Windows vista Home premium networking with my 64-bit Windows 7 computer.  I go to the step where the machine Vista attempts to connect to the printer on the network, then it asks a driver.  The driver file is already on the vista machine.  I installed the latest drivers from Microsoft and epson on the Windows 7 machine and he always asks a driver.  Can someone point me to the exact file name and the location of the driver in the vista vista machine so I can simply copy and point to it my windows machine 7.  I did the updates from Microsoft to get all the latest drivers.  Thank you.

    You do not install the Vista drivers on Windows 7 computer.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium cannot map NAS / network storage drives

    Hi, I'm currently on a PC Windows 7 Home Premium and I have two 2 NAS drives.

    I am running a Buffalo Linkstation (old version) and a new Iomega Home Media Network Hard drive.

    Initially I thought it was just my Linkstation from Buffalo who is older and has had no updates of the firmware that cannot be mapped as a network drive. But I just got my new Iomega hard drive today and installed the latest firmware and software. The Iomega software detects the drive and all of its shared folders but the problem is that I can not map any shared folders as a network drive, making it useless on my Windows 7 computer.

    I can access both NAS drives on my windows xp pro machine very well.

    I got off the phone with Iomega technical support and they said that it is a well known problem with Windows 7 Home Premium and readers of Samba. Is there someone out there who can give me a solution? I already tried the fix LMCOMPATIBILITYLEVEL on other forums I found by changing the values 1 or 2 - but still no luck.

    It gives me an error of network even when I try to connect to the ip address of the NAS, however - it appears on my network but I can not access or map!

    I really want to get my readers network running on windows 7 Home Edition premium without having to upgrade to other users are still having problems, I read. It's a little pathetic I can't even map a network drive on my pc.

    I had exactly the same problem with my drive hard Lacie network. If your drive contained donkey type of media, music, or video, Win 7 use the reader as a "Windows Media Connect" device, opening the disk in Media Player, showing only media files...

    This prevents access to all ot0her of the player records.

    However, I found that it is possible to add the drive as a network drive, if you know the name of the root folder.

    In my case, it's "openshare", so when you enter the path to network drive, I use \\192.168.xxx.xxx\openshare, and it allows me to access the drive...

    Why Microsoft chose to make this type of access to the files of so difficult to get simple network, just blows my mind, knowing that WinXP has it done easily...

    I hope you were able to understand my English, and that this could be useful.

  • Vista Home Premium - cannot create a system - error (0 x 81000101) Restore Point

    I found the thread ""Microsoft Answers > Forums Home > Windows Vista > Security and privacy > Vista Ultimate - can't Create System Restore Point - error 0x800423F "and tried to follow the instructions for a similar problem but unfortunately I knew no chance to solve."

    After picking up my operating system (and emotional stability) after some type of registry startup problem (I think by installing automatic updates of Windows or trying in vain to remove a beta version of Windows Live Essentials caused), I am now unable to create system restore points.

    Not sure if it is a side effect of my previous diagnosis reboot-a-thon, defragment my HARD drive, disk cleanup running, karma for wanting to change the unwanted services from "Automatic" to "Manual", the result of a record of the ugly or another random event.

    When I try to create a restore point, I get the Protection system pop-up dialog (which seems even to have its own sound): "the restore point could not be created for the following reason: the creation of a shadow copy has expired.". Try this operation again. (0 x 81000101) Please try again. »

    I kinda like the syntax of phrase yoda "Retry this operation" but worried that system restore does not work.

    Specifications:
    ~ IQ818A HP
    ~ Windows Vista Edition Home Premium
    ~ Service Pack 1
    ~ 4 GB OF RAM
    ~ 64-bit
    ~ Properties system has already show "HP (c :)) (System))" as being selected for "automatic restore points" with the "most recent restore point" being yesterday.
    ~ (C) a 331GB of free space and 123 GB of unused space
    ~ (D) is the "FACTORY_IMAGE" of (c) partition and was selected previously, but then I tried to deselected it.
    ~ "Volume Shadow Copy" has been classified as "Started" and "Automatic" in the Services; I changed it to manual.
    ~ "Virtual disk" is listed as "manual" in Services.
    ~ Is CPU utilization to 99% with svchost.exe taskmgr.exe 31% and 49%
    ~ avast! The antivirus is active
    ~ avast! Scanner shows no viruses or other problems
    ~ Spybot scan shows no virus or other problems

    I disabled later, restoration of the system, rebooted, enabled the restoration of the system, restarted and then tried to save a point of restoration but no luck, I received the same error (0 x 81000101) as before. I then typed "net stop vss ' disabled shadow copies of volume storage in Device Manager, rebooted and activated the system restore and then tried to «Create a system restore point...» "once again, but nothing helped.

    I even removed the SD card that housed my ReadyBoost, just in case where that was having some strange side effects.

    I then ran sfc/scannow and must "checks 100% complete." but has NOT gotten any other report (for example "Windows Resource Protection did not any violation of the integrity." as stated on another computer to test I ran the same command on). I followed the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833 and tried opening sfcdetails.txt but it was empty; Perhaps, the command still runs on my computer that seems to use a lot of CPU?

    After reading a bit more about the problem (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/826936 for Windows Server) and think about the recent very slow performance of some applications of system on my TouchSmart, I start to think that my previous tinkering with services caused something to load that should not or something not to load that should and therefore the computer does not have enough juice or is not properly configured to create a restore point. Do you think that this is the problem? Is there somewhere I can find a list of services by default OEM on the parameters (deferred), manual or automatic?

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you.

    Hi TouchSydney,

    After you disable and re-enable the system restore, you did a restart? This removed all your restore points?

    If this isn't the case, you might want to restore it to a date before all this happened, he probably still will give the error.  Disable and re-enable system restore to remove all restore points.  Restart and try to create restore points.

    You can also restore this way cleaning points:

  • After removing the Tdss rootkit, computer laptop My Windows Vista Home Premium keeps restarting after the connection. __

    I had the Tdss rootkit on my laptop and removed using TDSS Killer of Kasperky. After the reboot, I have connected and saw a box that displays "Please Wait". After 5 to 10 seconds, my computer restarts. After the reboot, it shows options for Windows Vista loading, i.e. the safe mode, safe mode with network. I chose the mode safe mode with networking and everything works fine. The system properties box opens automatically. When I try to boot into normal mode, he repeated restart after the connection. I tried to run a restore of the system into safe mode with networking, but it tells me something about the system restore is in mode offline. I hit a brick wall and don't know what to do next. I don't want to if I have more options to factory default restore.

    The TDSS rootkit is very destructive.  It is not uncommon to make a computer work is not properly after removing it.  I advise you to restore your computer to factory default.  Not only is this the best option, it's the safest option.  I wouldn't consider the computer to be trusted without going through the restore process.  Even if you can be sure that 100% of the infection has been removed, you have no way of knowing what changes the malware made to the settings on your computer, which may be exceptionally vulnerable to future malware attacks.

  • Vista Home Premium cannot perform backup on the network drive

    Fairly well described in the title... asks for a password. no password required on each pc. Seems to be a known problem based on the messages I've seen. Is there a fix. ???

    Unstable1

    Thanks for posting on this Forum.

    What applications do you use to make your backup?  You use the Configuration and status of the backup program that comes with Windows Vista or the backup center and restoration?

    Is it a home network?  If so, all computers have the same name of "workgroup"?  As you may know, the same name of user and password must be on all systems that are part of a working group.  You are able to "navigate" to this network drive?

    If the network drive (part) belongs to a Windows domain, make sure that you have the appropriate rights to write to this drive (Share) network. Ken

    -Machine 2 is Vista Home Premium 64-bit and is connected via a Wireless connection to my NetGear router.

    Here are my settings that may be useful to know.
    Machine 1:
    -Cable
    -Network: NotURInterwebs (private network)
    -Working Group: DISCOVERY
    -The discovery of the network: WE
    -File sharing: WE

    What antivirus application do you use?

    I suggest to change firewall security settings, or disable the security software on the system and try to access the location.

    Method 1:

    Disable the firewall on the Machine 1 and check the status of the issue.

    Enable or disable Windows Firewall

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

    Note: You should not turn off Windows Firewall unless you have another firewall is enabled. Turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.

    Note: In addition to a firewall, you must also be an antivirus and anti-malware program to help protect your computer. Install Microsoft Security Essentials or another antivirus and anti-malware program and update it. Many of these programs update automatically.

    Method 2:
    Error code 0 x 80070035 indicates that the network path was not found. This problem occurs if the NetBIOS over TCP IP is not enabled in Windows Vista. Please follow the steps below.

    (a) click on «Start», enter "NCPA. CPL"(without the quotes) and press ENTER.

    (b) right click on the connection you use for the local connection, and then click "Properties".

    (c) click on the button continue to check the permission of the administrator.

    (d) click to select 'Protocol Internet Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)' and then click 'properties '.

    (e) click on the button "Advanced" in the opened window. On the "WINS" tab, select 'Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP' and then click 'OK' to save the setting.

After restarting Windows (Vista Home Premium 32 bit) I can't find the networks wireless where I can see usually eight networks at least an unsecured connection, but now I get nothing.

    I replaced the wireless card Atheros with an Intel Pro 3945ABG driver and installed the latest version and that I still get the same error "Windows cannot find any networks", I can get access to the internet via an Ethernet cable but I am unable to connect wirelessly. If I try to manually configure the wireless connection, I get "unexpected error occurred".

    I started the system from a CD of Ubuntu to check that it was not a hardware problem. Wireless card perfectly, sees all the networks, connects and works very well.

    It seems that something inside Vista has failed since even change the wireless adapter for a different manufacturer and the results of the modeling in the same error, pointers?
