• MiFi to Windows XP Pro connection problem

  I just got a Gateway E4100 computer, this system uses the XP Pro operating system. I am trying to connect to Verizon MiFi using an Airlink wireless adapter. My network is a secure network and the computer sees the MiFi, but when I try to connect I get this Message (Windows could not find a certificate to connect to the secure MiFi6420L Jetpack AEBC network). This system is not all service packs downloaded. This could be a problem?

  Since no one sells new computers with XP installed these days, I
  Suppose that you have acquired a used computer.

  If I bought a used computer, no matter who previously owned the
  first thing I could do with it would be to reinstall the operating
  system itself. You don't know how the computer has been maintained,
  which has been improperly installed, what's missing, what virus and
  There may be spyware, etc. I would not live with someone
  other errors and problems, possibility of kiddy p0rn, etc. and I
  would not recommend anyone else to do.

  Your choice of course, but in my opinion, you're playing with fire if you
  do not reinstall Windows properly.

• Windows 7 wireless connection problem

  I just bought a brand new Alienware m17x and all drivers are up to date... .IM with broadcom wireless network adapter. The strange thing is that last night I was on the internet for several hours without any problem using the wireless, but this morning iwas unable to use my wireless internet access. This has happened several times now. Sometimes it says "not connected - no available connections" and sometimes he says "not connected connections are available" when she says, links, I try to connect to the network, but it says "unable to connect to the network. The only time wherever I was able to connect to wireless internet, was when my computer is automatically connected to my wireless network without me having to select the network and attempt to connect. I read things about windows 7, with a mode of "sleeper" for wireless connections or something, and that can be the cause of it and that it is better to turn off or downgrade to xp. I am really frustrated because I am not able to connect wirelessly and I hope you guys can help me find a solution.

   

  Guide to correctly troubleshoot wireless M17x
  with Dell Wireless 1510/Broadcom card
  by Glzmo

  Since many new Alienware M17x all powerful users, especially those who use Windows 7 as operating system there are various problems with their Wi - Fi connection and post threads asking how their difficulty over and over again, I decided to write this guide to show them how to solve these issues properly Commons. The solutions in this guide were created and designed for 64-bit Windows 7, but they may also work in Windows Vista, although these problems were experienced by users of Windows 7 mainly in the past. It could very well be that the problems start occurring in Vista as well with the new drivers and Windows updates.

  I. may not connect to the wireless network and or see the wireless adapter when the Ethernet cable is disconnected
  If you sometimes or always unable to connect to the wireless network, cannot connect to the wireless network when the Ethernet cable is disconnected, unable to connect to a wireless network unless you restart once to get this work and other weird problems to be unable to connect to a wireless network continue with section II. Otherwise, continue with section II..

  Sleep of a.i. Disable on disconnect device
  Some new Nvidia Ethernet drivers have a function called sleep device to disconnect. This is the culprit. Normally, it should only put the card Ethernet to sleep when the cable is disconnected, but it is buggy and thus kill the wireless connection as well.
  Follow these steps to disable this feature on your Ethernet Nvidia card:
  1. open the Device Manager of Windows by pressing Win + break, and then click on Device Manager on the left side.
  2 double-click network adapters.
  3 double click on NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (Yes, that's indeed wired Ethernet adapter).
  4 click on the Advanced tab.
  5 select sleep on disconnect device.
  6 set the value to disabled.
  7 click OK and wireless should work again (may require a reboot later, but probably not).

  I.b. install different drivers (older) who do not have the device sleeping on disconnect feature.
  The above does not work or if you are not comfortable with these drivers, follow these steps (if step A.i. was successful, you will not need to follow these steps). Take care to create a system restore point before proceeding:
  1. click the Windows Start button in the taskbar.
  2 click on Control Panel.
  3 click on uninstall a program.
  4 in the list, double-click Nvidia drivers.
  5. Mark Remove only the following.
  6 in the box below, only check the Nvidia Network driver.
  7 click Remove and follow the uninstall instructions.
  8 restart the system, if you are prompted to.
  9 download another (older) driver from Nvidia.
  10 install the old driver.
  11 when asked what drivers you want to install, select only the network driver.
  12 follow the installation instructions and restart your system if prompted.

  II. Low or fluctuating wireless connection speeds
  If you have problems with WiFi low connection speeds (such as rates decline over time, the speeds are much lower than they should be, network lag/stutter in online games, loss of light packets, loss of internet connection as LAN works and other weird things) or speeds of fluctuating wildly without apparent reason wireless connection install the version of the Dell Wireless 5.60.18.8 drivers instead of the standard Broadcom drivers. All older drivers will usually cause the speed of connection under normal. Note, however, that you may need to install the driver manually via Device Manager as the pilot was not released for another laptop and is not officially available to the M17x yet - that's why the installer won't work. Take care to create a system restore point before proceeding.
  Here is a step by step how manually install the driver:
  1. download the drivers Dell Wireless 5.60.18.8.
  2 check out the R29128.exe file using an extraction utility like WinRAR or just run it and quit the installation program.
  3. open the Device Manager of Windows by pressing Win + break, and then click on Device Manager on the left side.
  4 double-click network adapters.
  5 double-click the Broadcom 802.11n network adapter entry.
  6 click on the driver tab.
  7 click the button Update driver .
  8 click Browse my computer for driver software.
  9 click on Let me take form a list of drivers for devices on my computer.
  10 click the disk provided .
  11 click Browse.
  12. select the folder that you extracted the drivers you just downloaded in step 1. in.
  13 select the subfolder DRIVER_US (if you are in the United States), DRIVER_JP (if you are in the Japan) or DRIVER_ROW (if you are in the rest of the world), according to the region you are in.
  14 click on the Open button.
  15 click OK.
  16 select the driver that says Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card of the list (you may have to scroll down to see - it presents itself as second to the last in the list for me).
  17 click on the Next button.
  18 you will get a warning that the driver that you are about to install is not compatible with your hardware. Ignore the warning and proceed with the driver installation.
  19 restart your system if prompted to do so.
  20 your new driver should now be properly installed and the speed of your wireless connection in the order.

  III. If all else fails (or you've just had enough of boredom arising from the Dell Wireless 1510/Broadcom card)
  Replace the Dell Wireless 1510 problem with a card half-mini Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 A/G/N (use the bluetooth as the third antenna antenna or buy you an additional antenna for this). It works very well with the M17x, has better connection speeds to strips of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (this last has speeds really bad on the Broadcom/1510), it has not required to jump through the hoops to make it work properly and much more, it works with standard drivers and Intel maintains their drivers up to date. It is also much more reliable and faster as well, especially on the 5 GHz band, but also on the 2.4 GHz band.

  For more information on the subject of tweaking the settings of your Dell Wireless card, check out the official setting advanced properties: Dell Wireless WLAN Card User Guide.

  I hope that this guide will help you solve your Wi - Fi connection and allow you to enjoy speeds of complete wireless connection on your laptop Alienware M17x.

  Addendum: Quick links in this Guide

  Driver wireless Dell 5.60.18.8 version
  Download the driver for the Mini PCI Dell Wireless 1510 card used in this guide.

  Broadcom 943xx Wireless Driver version 5.60.18.41
  Download the latest Broadcom driver as an alternative to the Dell a little older driver who may or may not solve the problems more. Some have seen more success than with the 5.60.18.8 drivers with it (you need to use the 802.11n network adapter driver rather than at the entrance to Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini Card in step II.15. the guide when you use this driver).

• Windows 8 Pro startup problem

  Dear friends

  It was working fine. Latest installation has Samsung Kies.

  But the day before yesterday when I swtich on the machine it started but I noticed that it took more time to start. and sudddenly he freezes on.

  So I stop it and new Rebooted

  He then suddenly splashed the message below (or similar) I would not even read. The only offer I got was ' your PC encountered a problem '.

  So I googled and got the other party. It could be another message but I am sure that the ' your PC encountered a problem ' part is the same.

  "Your PC ran into a problem and it restarts. responsible for collect just some info the error and then put back on well for you (100% complete). »

  The message did not sleep there. Immediately another message showed so wording

  "Prepairing for the repair of some/automatic '.

  I waited about 1:30 hours and nothing happened. No Progressive bar (which Microsoft shows everywhere). So I sat there like a statue. I didn't know what was going on inside. No message, full of persentage nothing.

  Yet once restarted, it with my dvd pro Win 8. And selected repair my computer from the installation screen.

  It is said

  Diagnosis of your computer... Two hours went by. Suddenly the message changed to check for disk errors. I waited for more than 3 hours. Nothing happened. So I closed the computer.

  I am really frustrated because I have important data inside. I need to start it up in any way.

  Please, help me to enforce. I do not have backup.

  Hi Baro

  Happy news. I got it to work. Yesterday, I have issued an order to repair the MBR (bootrec.exe /fixmbr). After that I again checked with no luck. I unplugged my hp printer. Removed all the software I installed by inserting my victory 8 dvd and boot from dvd and then using evil taken view option. When I start the computer it goes immediately to "auto repair mode. So I decided to leave it as such to see what will happen. After 3 hours the mode changed to mode "Diagnostics of your computer".

  After that the 3rd hour, it changed to "Disk error checking" Mode  I left and went to sleep.

  I woke around 02:30 and checked state. Identical to the latest fashion. The benben8484 came after 45 minutes. When I came back, he showed my login screen. Immediately, I've connected and then turn off the computer correctly. Today, I'll check and start to reinstall what I removed.

  Sort of thank God it's fine now.

  I tried to go back my memories as I was able to pin point the exact reason, why this happened.

  Please, do not try things.

  1 if please do not connect your mobile phone then turn on the computer. Put first on the PC and after login, connect you Mobile.

  2. do not try to stop updates (Windows updates).

  3. do not stop between updates.

  Windows 8 takes more time for average error Windows 7. In my case, it took 7 hours.

  Thank you once again

• IEEE 1284 PARALLEL USB driver in Windows XP Pro SP3 problem

  I have a max system pc which has no parallel printer port and is designed to run Windows 7 or Windows XP pro. I installed XP pro. I had bought the wrong cable (USB to DB25) and inadvertently installed a driver for it that was only compatible with Win98 or me. Now, I have the right parallel to USB cable and when XP detects and tries to install it, it stands automatically and asks this Win98 / ME .inf file that does not work. Technical Support for the cable has told me to update the USB Mainboard drivers, however, is not available for download from the manufacturer of the motherboard. I think that there is something stuck in the registry that keeps pointing to this file .inf that is not valid. I want to know how to update or delete it the register so I can get a clean reinstall the driver for the IEEE 1284 cable. Thanks in advance

• Windows Firewall/Internet connection problems

  Recently, a problem came with my Windows Firewall. I don't know what caused the change, but I'll be surfing the internet very well, when a small bubble appears in my task bar that says: "your computer may be at risk. No firewall is turned on. "This has happened in the past, but when I clicked on the bubble to check before, my firewall is activated, so I simply rejected it. However, just a couple of days I noticed that when this bubble came, my internet connection would fail temporarily. So, when I saw the notice again once my firewall was not turned on, I checked. It seems that Windows Firewall turns itself off tension. I have no idea why he would do this. I manually turned it on again several times, but still it does.

  I run Windows XP Media Center Edition and (to my knowledge) have all the service packs/updates.

  -Josiane

  Well, I asked a friend gifted in computer science, he suggests Spybot. I downloaded spybot, scanned my computer and found a Windows Firewall security override in my registry. Deleted Spybot, and now all is well again. This is a very quick and easy solution.

  I can do the most sophisticated malware cleaning below to another date, when it is more convenient for me.

• Windows 7 wireless connection problem: unable to connect to my home network

  Hello

  I just got a Dell laptop that is running Windows 7.  However, when I try to connect to my home network it impossible apperantly.  When I select "Troubleshoot Proplems" I get "Troubleshooting cannot identify the problem."

  I also already checked the pit of the Wireless Device Manager device.  It is activated and works perfectly.

  I know that the network is enabled and works because I'm typing this message on my desktop wireless capable of Windows XP.  In addition, my roommate is able to connect to the router and 'surf' the internet on their laptops.

  Therefore, I must assume that this problem is due to something in Windows 7.

  Hello Geoffrey.

  Have you tried to change the wireless channel that your router is running at? There may be interference that could prevent the internet connection:

  Take a look at step 6 in this article that give more details about it:

• Windows 8 wireless connection problem

  I just bought a new laptop with Windows 8 and half an hour to put on, I lose network connectivity wireless on all devices in my home, new laptop, iphone, ipad, galaxy tablet.  The ipad, the iphone, and the Tablet first in loose connectivity followed by the laptop.  As soon as I turn off the phone followed by the router (BT homehub 1 I think), connectivity is restored on the ipad, iphone and tablet.  When I turn on the laptop back, connection is restored there too but not for long.  I checked the router and all the lights are lit and not flickering.  I ran the Windows diagnosis and this is the result «a network cable is not plugged in correctly or may be broken...» Detected (there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it which I assume means not fixed...) Problem with access point or wireless adapter... Fixed).  I checked all the cables and they look very good.  BT send me a home 3 hub even if they don't think that the router is the problem.  I remember not being near the router when I first created the connection with the router wireless.  Not sure if it is relevan.t I am at my wits end.  I am not knowledgeable about these things, and after having my laptop for a week I could not enjoy it at all.  Thank you

• Cisco 3825 + PS3 Media Server 1.20.412 + Windows 7 Ultimate connection problems

  Hello.

  I ve been to fight with my router Cisco 3825 for awhile and can't understand * beep * won't.

  If I use the Playstation 3 with Wifi, everything works allmost like a charm, works, PS3 Media Server, but I m having stuttering problems, so I tried to use the RJ45 to maximize the bandwidth of the side PS3, just channels wifi 54Mbps on HD streaming.

  On my laptop I have Buffalo Nfinity 300/n wifi adapter, so I don´twant to connect to the laptop with RJ - 45, but to use the wifi from the router to the laptop.

  So if I try to install PS3 with connection cable to my Cisco 3825, tried DHCP/StaticIP, the Media server will not work, even my Win 7 Mediaplayer will not work.

  So question is, is that modem so "stupid" that he used anything wifi road to RJ45 side?

  I can ping the same PS3 so it is connected RJ45, and PS3 goes to internet (laptop in wifi).

  The router should have the Upnp option, but if I use the rj-45, the PS3 says "Not available", Wifi, it is available.

  Any help pls?

  PS Sorry my English skills, but hey I m try.
