(1) open as administrator CMD

(2) netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow ssid = tutu key = Pa55word

(3) netsh wlan start hostednetwork

Here's the problem I get an error message saying that: wireless local area network interface is turned off and does not support the requested operation

Although I turned on wifi switch still getting the same error message. help please, thank you.

  • Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

    System:

    Toshiba Satellite A-75

    WIndows XP Home Edition
    Fully updated with Svc Pk 3
    HITACHI Travelstar hard drive 80 gig

    Nice day

    I'm getting this ' file is missing or damaged:------WINDOWS-SYSTEM32-CONFIG-SYSTEM ' error and Windows does not start in the F8 boot options. When I disable the auto reboot, I get a BSOD 51 registry error, consistent with the file "missing or corrupt" error Surprisingly "Recovery Console" works so I used to run chkdsk. This has not solved the problem, but even once, surprisingly, the utility reported no fixed error. Ok. I do research online (using another computer of course) and check out the many tips that I copy some files in my "c:\windows\repair" folder in the folder 'system '. Before I had time to do that, however, I found an article from Microsoft stating that this should not be done if you have an OEM System... what I'm doing. Apparently, hives system on these OEM installed OS set other passwords that can permanently block you on your records if you use this method. Thanks for the warning. My system restore disc is nothing more than a tool of re-insall OS that will wipe all my data in the process, and this is not desirable. Currently, I see again all my data on the drive by using the "recovery console". I'm ready to thread the needle on this one in the hope of re - access the operating system, although in some limited capacity. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    When you run chkdsk in RC, did you use the /r switch? This is the key! In other words, this should be the command:

    Chkdsk /r

    (there is a space before the slash)

    Moreover, KB307545 can be run safely on most OEM XP installations. Of course, nothing is guaranteed 100%.

    Before you do this or else, you really must ensure all data is stored safely. One way to do this is to start on a live Linux CD and then copy the files to an external hard drive. Another way is to connect the problem hard drive into a working PC and copy the files in this way. This could be done by the servo drive or with an adapter like this:

  • Windows 8 could not start - no boot device - no Options

    I have a Gateway computer in 2013 without a disk provided with 8 preinstalled windows drive. I did a full system recovery less then a week ago and you have not done something with windows since. I turned on my computer today to a reading "windows failed to load" error screen then I rebooted and that you haven't even spent the front door after twenty minutes of waiting. The next reboot a few was a frustrating mix of bridge and eventually achieve a black screen with a small white line in the corner, and then never do anything. Finally I made it to an option screen that told me to use the arrow keys to select an option. But there is no options. None. I pressed on the top and down arrows. Nothing. I pressed on enter. Nothing. Finally I pressed ESC received another message, I need to insert my windows installation disc. Where, I ask, am I supposed to put this drive?  I pressed on enter and led to a black screen where the only key that did anything at first was esc where I only got the error, no boot device - please reboot system. Then I pressed on enter and esc a few times before you restart and repeat the process with the same results.

    I wonder if anyone has a solution. Please, any help would be appreciated. I also told him really as far as I know on this computer, I don't know much about them, so I don't think I can answer anything about the hardware.

    You the computer tells you that it cannot find a device that has OS loaded on this subject. This normally means that the hard drive has gone wrong. First thing is to run the diagnostic on it. When you press the power button start tapping on the F button for your computer and BIOS menu will open. Select diagnostics if you have one and test it to find errors. Not all system equipped with diagnostic in the BIOS. If the hard drive breaks down or he says that you don't have a hard drive, then you need to get a new one and order the DVD of recovery of the manufacturer. If everything goes, looks like the BONE is damaged. If you have a CD or DVD to install Windows repair system, boot from the CD/DVD and run the repair of it. You will have access to the boot device options in the BIOS to make it boot from the CD/DVD. If you do not have a CD repair system, you can make one from a computer that has the same OS as yours. If that does not fix it then your probably going to have to reload your OS back operational. You will need to recover your data and files before you do this. If you want to try to recover your files click on the link below and read about how to download and use a Linux Live CD to the system startup to retrieve what you want. If you have a computer of Windows 8, then you must disable secure boot using the CD. The Live CD you will also see the rest of the computer.

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-v...

    Once you got what you need, you can reload your operating system.

    Try the advanced startup options. When you press the power button, start typing the F8 key. You will see the early startup menu. Select repair your computer. Select your language and enter your user name and password. Click (brand name) then next and factory Image Restore. Answer the question and it should start the recovery back to the factory settings.

    If you can not access the advance startup options and then try to recover from the recovery partition.

    When you press the power button start tapping on the F button for your computer and BIOS menu opens, select the recovery mode. This will reset your computer back to factory settings.

    Here is an article from Dell on how to do a manual reinstall of the operating system (but note this is a clean install and not a system/upgrad repair install so it will wipe clean all the process data): http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/document?docid=339949.

    If you have an Installation of Vista genuine disc, you may be able to do an installation of repair/upgrade of the system (which would be better than the above option).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version of the system came with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to make a record of slipstream as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.  If you have problems to install the drivers, read the article above by Dell on how to obtain and install the drivers - it should apply in this case as well.

  • Computer laptop Windows XP does not start? Help

    Hi I have a windows xp laptop I think that their system eis or something like that... Whenever I start the laptop, he's going on the error you get when your dosent laptop shut down correctly. If I click on start normally the bar will spend about a quarter of the way and then just stayed forever and only safe mode also gets a freeze from then. Y at - it something wrong with the laptop or what. How can I get my laptop to work again... someone help me please.

    It is up to tell you to us what brand of system and the model is... not "system ist or something like that."

    When you choose to start safe mode and you can see all the stuff being loaded and the system crashes, which is the last line on the screen to say?

    If you attached an external equipment, especially USB devices, disconnect everything and then you can see if things seem better.

    If you get an error message windows system config, exactly what he says?

    No error paraphrased messages please!

    It was something like this:

    Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

    Which usually indicate some sort of corruption of system files may be a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).  None of this seems familiar?

    If you can boot from a CD, you can create a CD bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console and run chkdsk with correction of errors on the afflicted to start System.

    Here's how:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget what you have (no XP media required).

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD (do not install UniBlue or the Ask Toolbar - never!):

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  • Want H8-1534: could not start HP Envy H8-1534 pc after Windows update 10, 1607

    Windows 10 has made automatically update 1607 (KB3176936) on the pc of my wife (HP Envy H8-1534) about 6 days ago. Since then I could not start the pc the first time I turn it on.

    When I hit the power button on the monitor lights up with the HP logo on black screen as usual but the loading icon (spinning points) does not start. Fans start, but there is no activity on the Tower in the way of flashing lights or beep sounds. If I turned off the pc by using the power button, wait 10 seconds and turn on again, the pc will start up as normal. So far, for the last 6 days, it took the 2nd attempt so that it starts the pc every time. It almost seems as if there are not able to go to the system except for the fans in this first attempt to start.

    I ran a test at startup by pressing the F2 key without no problems found. I disabled the SATA power management in the BIOS. I ran the Windows startup with no result repair. Here are the results of the txt file.

    I researched all the possibilities. I fear that this could begin to worsen. Any help will be appreciated.

    If DVD recovery is not assured that means installation of recovery can be started from the HARD drive. I don't know how it works exactly on cell phones in the United States. Try pressing zero button after starting upwards to see if HARD drive recovery option can be started.
