Why am I not able to choose a wireless network. I get the message "windows cannot configure this wireless connection".

When I go to network connections it shows: Wireless network Connection - connected, Shared Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini - Card & connection 1394 - 1394 connected Net Adapter.

How can I solve this problem.

Hi ToddHenderson,

You did changes to the computer before the show?

Method 1
I suggest you try the following steps:

The error message can mean that your hardware manufacturer has provided you with its own software to wireless as an alternative configuration to Windows Wireless Auto-Configuration service.

I suggest you follow the steps below.


Use Windows to configure wireless settings

a. go to the start menu, then select run
b. type ncpa.cpl, and then click OK to open the menu of the network connections
c. Select your Wi - Fi connection service and choose the option change settings of this connection.
d. go to the wireless networks tab and check use Windows to configure my wireless network


Launch Windows Zero Configuration

e. return to the start menu and select run
f. type % SystemRoot%\system32\services.msc/s, and then click OK
g. double-click the Wireless Auto Configuration option
h., go to the startup type list, and then click Automatic. Click on apply to confirm the changes
i. Accordingly, click Start in the Service status section click OK to apply the changes.

Method 2

    Your administrator account can are damaged.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    I hope this helps.

    1. were you able to use the DVD burner before with no problems?

    This can occur when more than one service is defined for a device, if there is a failure at the opening of the service registry entry, or if the driver name cannot be obtained from the service registry entry.

    Follow these steps and check if they help.

    I would have you readers of third party temporarily Uninstall and check if persists it to the question.

    Step 2:

    Most likely you need codecs to play these files with Windows Media Player. I suggest looking up codec in the Internet that supports the file format, download and install them.

    Hi, Claudio Nahmad,.

    This error can occur if the data in the registry for the device and its driver has been corrupted.

    Since you have already done a factory restore, leave, try to uninstall and reinstall the driver CD\DVD and check if it helps.

  • Satellite L50 - B - I'm not able to establish a wireless connection

    Hello

    No reason, I'm not able to use my wifi connection more.
    I was at home and my wifi worked, but when I went to an another location al of a sudden switch to activate the wifi (8.1 to Windows, not on my laptop, there is no switch on the laptop itself) would not work. When I put a cable internet in my laptop, I have a connection. It's just the wireless that does not work.

    I have tried just about everything I could think of:
    -Installed the new driver on the Toshiba site
    -New Instalend pilot on the Intell website
    -Remove programs of network connection, rebooted the computer, so it would automatically find the right driver.

    Not it worked. I'm not keen to restart my computer because it does more harm than good. Does anyone have suggestions on what to do next?

    It is not the first time, the functions are without any clear reason disabled. First it was my USB-portals. After two months, I got it working again. But now, it's the wireless internet. Its drving me crazy, because I have the laptop for 4 months now.

    Advice, anyone?

    (Toshiba Satellite L50-B-188, wireless Internet by: Intel Corporation;) Intel (r) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160, version 17.13.11.5)

    Hello Rosie

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. The first WLAN card must be properly installed and listed in Device Manager. Can you please confirm this?

    Second, the wireless network card must be properly activated. Flight mode must be OFF and wireless ON.
    Please check in the PC settings > network > connections and flight mode.

    When you check this and WLAN ENABLED scan please area. Your network is visible for your laptop?

    I have 3 windows firefox with several tabs in each, but the main (and sometimes others) gel and prevent navigation showing a box indicating
    "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding." You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script ends.

    "Script: chrome://fctoolbar841468a1d7f44bd384e6bb0f13a06c64/content/fctoolbar.js:1.
    To stop the script? I think it's not to do with Google Chrome but FF model internal to web pages. Thus, a deficiency in the FF, inability to cope, but with what? As far as I KNOW, all software is up-to-date. I have restarted FF, restarted the laptop, but has not changed the FF problem. What is the cause?

    This is probably caused by a toolbar that installs on your version of Firefox. Most of the scripts that begin with chrome:// are extensions.
    I think that this is very probably the Nectar Search Toolbar , which raises the question, because it seems to be the only toolbar installed on your computer.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
