  Why cany you geniuses at microsoft, solve problems with mp11 on vista or allow to download mp12 on vista many of your loyal customers are completely frustrated by this situation and deserve a break after all without your customers that you would be out of business

  You realize that the people here are all volunteers and have little or no affiliation with Ms.

  Couple that with the fact that MS has retired from pillar supported vista casts doubt on any effort to correct or update.  Time to upgrade

• Windows Vista + Netgear - Netgear says that I'm connected network list said I'm limited, the computer shows that I am not at all. Computer is right.

  I have fixed everything at the time of my desktop computer starts up to a screen black with no explorer.exe running (the explorer.exe running only showed a folder at a time, until I restarted it.) and now I have a connection problem.

  My netgear router has a connection with my computer, it shows green in the taskbar. However, my actual connection to the internet is not as lucky as the connection with the router.

  I see the networks that I am able to connect to, but as soon as I did, I said that I am not currently connected to any network. If I go to "Connect to a network" I see clearly that I'm "connected with limited access" to Snet-G, which is one of the networks available to connect.

  In my options of netgear, I am also connected to Snet-G, and it shows that it is actually connected.

  My problem is the fact that I can "ipconfig" and I find none of my information, and when I try to ipconfig/all, it gives me an error something while not connected, so it says that I'm connected and does not, at the same time. My local internet does not work (can not navigate to 192.168.1.1 and others), and of course for this reason, my global internet does not work.

  I need a fix for this, because I just put a ton of subscriptions for this month, which are already paid, and if I can't use this month is a good slice of $50 trash just because I fixed something.

  Thanks, that's a well advanced topic.

  I tried the following:
  System Restore (6 days back, the problem started 2 days ago)
  Restarting the computer
  Unplug modem (30 seconds)
  Restarting the router/Reset
  Connection to the Snet-N instead of the Snet-G

  Things to take note, if you do not already consider: I can't connect to my router config (192.168.1.1), my computer says I am connected locally, but not in the world.
  I have some information about the modem if necessary.
  -I have restored my computer 6 days ago, but only changed my problem with explorer.exe back. Internet broke again-. -.

• Vista Media Center and my Xbox 360 extender connection

  Hi I have a problem connecting my xbox 360 and my windows vista media center. Everytime I try I get the message saying that it can't find the range extender and suggests that it is one of the following three things

  (1) the Extender is turned on and connected to the network

  It's on and it appears as an icon of the xbox 360 in my network on the vista machine and can connect to the internet, so I guess the network very well.

  (2) that the code is correct

  It's that I checked it about 30 or twice now.

  (3) UPnP does not work properly

  I guess that's the problem but cannot figure out how to solve. I have a BT Homehub router. I've implemented through active UPnp. I even tried to disable the firewall completely on it and on vista, it made no difference to the port forwarding doesn't seem to be the answer.

  Help please it is one of the main reasons I got an xbox 360 and vista

  Paul.

• Windows Vista does not work with modem wireless broadband

  I saw no answer to this problem.  Can anyone help?

  Windows Vista on my DELL laptop at home does not work with my new NETGEAR modem wireless broadband 3 G.  The modem appears in the list of networks, I just errors like: unable to connect, cannot diagnose,... Both devices work perfectly well together when connected by cable but not wireless.  Interestingly, my laptop work, also a DELL but runing Windows XP, works very well with the NETGEAR modem.

  Summary:
  Vista / Netgear wired - work
  Vista / Netgear wireless - does not work
  XP / Netgear wireless - work

  I went through the NETGEAR troubleshooting guide, doing everything from changing the types of security to manually enter the MAC address of the laptop.  I ran to the ground with the NETGEAR support engineers, and they said check with Microsoft.  I am convinced that it has something to do with Vista.  Any ideas?

• I bought my DESIRE dv6-7220us of Fry "without doing my homework.

  AND, I was not satisfied with the VICTORY-8.  So I installed WIN 7 PRO because I didn't have a touch screen, I did not like APPS and, in order to run some older programs, including AutoCad14 (XP mode).  Everything works OK except the three USB3 ports are inoperative.  I ran a few updates on the HP site, but no fixed my problem.  One works to USB2 port.

  I need drivers USB3 who will work with WIN 7 PRO and my HP ENVY laptop.

  Thank you, Joe [email protected]

  Paul, you're a genius.

  In Device Manager, it shows now:

  Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller

  Intel hub USB 3.0

  All three USB3 ports work!

  USB2 works still!

  Such a simple solution when you know what to do.  Thanks again.  Joe

• NETGEAR genius too small

  Have been using and loving genius with my home network.

  Just bought a Dell XPS 13 laptop. Installed the genius. He appears in the center of the screen, but it's tiny. It's 2 inches square on a screen of inh 13 and the text is too small to be easily read.

  Is it possible to enlarge?

  What worked for me:

  Check the "run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows Vista"

  Don't forget to kill him by the Task Manager, and then click Restart.

• NETGEAR genius App does not display the numbers of traffic correctly with IOS 10 meter

  Since I've updated my Air Ipad 2 and Iphone 5 IOS 10.0.1, genius app on these 2 devices does not traffic counters numbers - the numbers are blacked out. Both devices have been updated to IOS 10.0.2 and numbers still are not displayed correctly. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app on devices engineering and numbers are always blocked. I tried an old Ipad 2 which is not updated for IOS 10 and my desktop Windows 10 PC and the traffic engineering counter displays the numbers correctly. I called Netgear support, but they were not aware of this problem and so far do not have a solution. Someone has encountered this problem on their Apple devices? Thank you! Another question - is - it possible through the genius app for what it tell me the amount of use of band bandwidth/data device not only in total for all devices? Thanks again!

• How can I get my Windows Vista laptop to connect to my Netgear R7000 Nighthawk

  I just bought a router Netgear R7000 AC1900 Nighthawk.  I works very well with all my computers with any operating systems except my wife of Acer Windows Vista.  Netgear technology could not operate either except when we connected as a guest without security protection.  I do not to run like that because of the lack of security.  The technology said that my version of Vista apparently did not have the right drivers for the router.  It works very well with my connected Ethernet Windows XP system, so it seems strange that the old system would have to the newer system drivers with no.  Anyone have any ideas?

  You have a NETGEAR router.

• Vista will not connect to Netgear WPA/WPA2 wireless router

  HP Presario laptop with Vista Home Premium. Added Service packs 1 & 2 in a timely and all upgrades of MS Vista through 8/11. Laptop does not work on the wireless network using a new Netgear N300 router with WPA/WPA2-PSK security.  Roommate has Windows 7 on his laptop and connects very well. I thought that these Service packs were supposed to solve the problem of Vista-WPA? My laptop connects fine with the router if I use an Ethernet cable directly between the laptop and the router. NetGear argues that it is a matter of MS Vista. I missed a special fix?  Any suggestions?

• Laptop wireless with NETGEAR router Home Windows Vista detects on the local network and internet

  We have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L505-S6946 with Windows Vista on it. We bought a router Netgear Wireless G WGR614V10 a few months ago and installed ok. It worked fine for a few months. Now the network connection to the bottom rhs shows tray icon: 'Local only' for the connection of the SSID, we have implemented. Technical support Netgear has determined that the router works fine. But they noted that the router might get a static IP address in his settings of the adapter wireless Vista. And they said that something should be changed in Vista to a direct connection with the modem works fine for internet access, but it's bulky. Someone please do you suggest to fix this error? Thank you!!!

  Hello

  A message in the small window that says connected wireless does not mean that you really have a valid functional connection.

  Linking the means of router you can enter the IP base of the router in an address bar in one go, being able to connect, see and configure the router menus (extended to the wireless router manual should explain how to do).

  If it will not connect to your wireless router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

  Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.

  ----------------------------

  The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

  Make sure that if there are teas from Wireless Utility of seller does not work with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

  ----------------

  Firewall software can block traffic Local to the network that you are trying to use because it is not set to the network Zone Trust.

  Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

  Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

  If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

  ---------------------------

  Stack TCP/IP (network IP number) of work should look like.

  Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/status-NIC.jpg

  Description is the data of the card making.

  The physical address is MAC of the card number.

  The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

  YY should be between 0 and 255

  ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

  The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

  * Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

  * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.
