Win 7 does not recognize that I am connected to my home wireless network.

Recently, I upgraded my desktop and my laptop at home to Win 7. I'm trying to set up a home network, but on my laptop, I can't change my home network location. Even though my laptop is connected to the internet via my wireless router, Windows don't think that I'm connected to a network. When I click on "connect to a network", it shows that I am connected to my wireless router. When I try to set up a home network on the laptop, it tells me I need to change the network location of the Public at home, but since he did not think that I am connected, it will not allow to do me this.  I searched the internet and worked through it for hours, but can't seem to find a solution to this problem. Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

I had this same problem.  I have a home group on my desktop running win 7 64 bit.  My laptop (win 7 64 bit) could not connect because the internet connection was showing pubic hair and I couldn't change it.  Here's what I did.  I deleted all my networks and groups off the laptop computer.  I restarted my laptop.  On my desktop, I went into Control Panel, home group and consulted my password.  I also need my wep key of wireless network.

To better understand, my wireless network name is cleopatraiz

On my laptop, I went into the wireless network connections through the status bar at the bottom right which displays all networks wireless scope.  I clicked on my wireless (cleopatraiz) and it prompted for the wep key.  I entered that and then I went into newwork & Sharing Center, was now showing my active network as cleopatriz, I clicked on choose home group and sharing options and joined using my password of the Group House of desktop computers.  It worked.

  • My Windows Media Center (Win 7) does not recognize my msi DIGIVOX TV Tuner

    My Win & Pro does not recognize my MSI Digivox USB TV Tuner card. Any other tuner software I install recognizes it. I have run the install, uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and cleaned as best I could. The Windows Media Center Receiver Service is working and has begun. Is there a list of steps I follow troubleshooting or maybe an upgrade to WMC I should install. The current version is 6.1...

    Hi Alba.

    1. who is the operating system installed on the computer?

    2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    This issue may be caused if one of the following situations arises:

    • The currently loaded USB driver has become corrupt or unstable
    • Your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with an external hard drive USB and Windows
    • Windows may be missing other problems hardware or software updates
    • Your USB controllers may have become corrupt or unstable
    • External drive can enter selective suspend
    • Your PC motherboard may need updated drivers

    I suggest to connect the USB device to a different USB port and check.

    You can run the Fixit provided in the article and the Coachman.

    Aspire M5 - 481 T-6488 - does not recognize that AC is plugged. Will not charge the battery.

    Laptop is about 2 years old.  Running on the Windows 8 origninal accompanying.  Had the same problem when it was purchased.  He sent to Acer.  Returned with no report / Details.  Has worked very well. Until recently.

    Noticed that seeing orange lights up when it feels like load and stops at 35% load.  Load is something dark, don't miss especially.

    Tried:

    Stick a PIN in the "battery reset" hole on the back

    Uninstalling the 'API Microsoft' battery

    Remove the battery to see if it'll work without it (it has an internal battery)

    Of course Acer won't help now since the warranty has expired.

    Please notify.  Thank you.

    Power plug has been checked, flinched 19V.

    Laptop briefly, then lost load capacity.  Checked power once again, 0V.

    Power adapter is bad.

  • My computer does not recognize that I have two monitors connected.

    I have a VGA splitter cable, but even after I used the cord to connect two cords vga to a port, the computer is only noted one of the monitors. So when I go into settings to try to get them to display both, or to identify, the computer notice only a single monitor. So the problem is that my computer does not recognize that there are two put monitors in place.

    Cable splitter separates the single signal only. The computer only sees it as an output. You would need a different video card use the two forms as separate monitors instead of simply split the signal.
