WiFi wasn't really that one slow down my laptop. Update driver and cannot connect to my wifi.

Hi I have a Sony Vaio with Windows 8. Lately, I've been to around 1 to 2 Mbit/s, when I should get 5.5. My brother's laptop will get anywhere from 5 to 9 Mbps. I tried to update my driver which is a BCM43142 Wireless Network Adapter. I've updated, but when I restart my computer I can't connect to my home wifi network. It says something like "your pilot skills do not meet the requirements of the network. I back my driver and he's back at very slow speed of the internet. I don't know what the problem with my laptop please help thanks

Edit: used windows update and updated to windows 8.1. no difference

Hi Robben,

I'm sorry that the installation of the update of the driver did not fix the problem. Please contact Sony support and check if they have any solution or suggestion for this problem with wireless adapter.

After having contact with them, check please post back with the State.

    Hello

    Overall Windows 10 RTM when available should increase your performance in video
    is the key as with games or be at least as good as Windows 7 or better for another type
    programs. Of course a lot of performance indicators are subject to the BIOS, chipset drivers.
    and other important factors.

    If you are upgrading, and then don't like Windows 10 you can always return to your

  • Windows 8.1 and cannot connect to the internet even though I have full WiFi access.

    Original title: Windows 8.1 and cannot connect to internet even though I have full WiFi access-problem occurred just after working fine for over a year

    Uses Windows 8.1 for over a year with no access to the internet.  Today, I can access is no longer the internet using Explorer, Mozilla Fire Fox or store apps.  (Tried to install a game just to test the internet connection-no luck).  When I try to connect the computer just sits there with the indicator connection just spin but never passes through.  I have good indicated WiFi (Internet) access.  While they inspected the updates, the only thing that appears on the current date is some Microsoft Silverlight is.  Could that that may cause my problem?  I didn't do any changes and have no problem until today.  I'm not always well informed in this area and I am at a total loss as to how to proceed, what to check... hope someone can advise me.   Thank you, DebbieG211

    Hi Debbie,.

    You might face this problem because of wrong settings in Internet Explorer. You mentioned that you get the update of windows Microsoft Silverlight, so we can deduce that there is a problem with the Internet browser. Please write us with the following details.

    (1) do you get error messages when all websites fail to load?

    (2) what is the brand and model of your computer?

  • One or more pages are in use and cannot be deleted since the update to Adobe Acrobat

    Hello

    Since 3 of our users have updated Adobe Acrobat X, they get the following error message "one or more pages are in use and cannot be removed" when you try to edit the created PDF files. Has someone else that had this problem. The version that we run is 10.1.13. on Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit.

    Thank you.

    Hey team office,

    Could you please try to repair Acrobat on the Help menu, and then restart.

    Check also under ' Edit > Preferences > Documents "If the display PDF/A mode is set to always. If so, change it to "Never" and try to delete pages.

    Another option is to use "file > save as option to save the file under a different name and then try to delete pages in the new created the file."

    Let me know if it helps.

  • SVCHOST.exe slow down my laptop

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop with Windows 7.  I have had it for 7 months and was a good machine.  In the last two days, it worked excrutiatingly slow to perform a simple task.  It takes 30 seconds for the MSN Internet signin window appears and which is the only application I have running.  My Norton program flashes a popup indicating svchost consumes too much memory.  Is there a systematic way of:

    1 determine what application is causing trouble

    2. how to solve the problem

    My Task Manager shows PID956 PID (92MB) 1004 (24MO) are the 2 process SVCHost.exe uses more memory.  I read several questions on this topic here in the help with some good info section, but none really seem to indicate how close the loop and close the question.

    I only am not aware of all of the windows updates were installed recently (I don't know if these run automatic or not and do not know how to check when the last update was missed) and have not recently added from all programs.  The problem just started in the last few days.

    Here, any help is appreciated.

    Svchost.exe is an application used by various applications. Usually, the problem isn't with svchost.exe but with the application that is running the service that is using svchost.exe. At any time, you can have a number any process ongoing svchost.exe to run and you have to identify who it is that is causing the problem. The process PID number is no help as it changes from one computer to another and each time that you start the computer. The constants are the command line and there are about 10 commonly used. You can't see them using the Task Manager. You need Process Explorer (freeware from Microsoft).

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653

    You will see what copy of svchost.exe is more active, and if you right click on the process, you will see a list of services that use this particular process. Svchost.exe - k netsvc is an example of a command line. Uses a number of services and often causing the problems of this group is wuaserv, which relates to Windows Update. Once you have identified the service that you have to identify the application using the service. In the example I gave, it's pretty obvious, but others are not so easy to determine.

    A complication is caused by malicious software which can also use svchost.exe. You should use anti-virus software for deterrmine if you have a defective or software program malware.

    It is always sensible in this situation to achieve a malware check

    Start the computer in safe mode with network and download and install Malwarebytes (free version for individuals only), updated definitions and run in safe mode. Disable other security software while you do the analyses.

  • After that initial Windows 7 64 bit update later, unable to connect to services window or microsoft...
