Windows Vista computer Internet

I have a windows vista computer, about 7 years or more. The internet worked fine, then I restored my computer to factory. I can't connect to the internet more, I think I need to update my computer but I can't do with Internet. I tried to manually update the internet card by my laptop window 10 but I can't do it yet. I also have a map of the internet 2.0 Wireless usb. that no longer works. Sometimes with connections wireless and when I type the password in the unable to connect to this network said. so I uninstalled this card. and when I try to use a cable to connect, it connects but no internet access there. any ideas how to solve this problem?

Open Device Manager and look at the network cards.  What cards are present and they have their drivers, or they are in the wrong with a yellow! the brand?  If no network adapters are present, it may be listed as an unknown device without driver or a network controller.   Device - Manager find unknown devices

On the other PC, see the page Web of Support downloads for the PC model to download the network card on a flash key you are using (Ethernet or wireless).  Transferer transfer on the Vista PC, install the adapter and see if you can get online.  If there is more of a network LAN driver is draw in Device Manager, the machine using material identification or download them all and try to install one at a time.

Do the same for all the other pilots missing in Device Manager.

Once online, speed up Windows updates in order to conform to the date that they ceased to support Vista.

Report all results.

  • Download error - cannot download anything on the windows vista computer.

    Original title: download error

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    It seems that you have problems with downloading files on the windows vista computer.

    The description of the problem seems a little unclear and I wish I had a better understanding before you start working on it. I would appreciate if you can help me with the following information.

    1. what browser you use on the computer?

    2. What is the exact full error message?

    3. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?

    4. deal with this problem if you try to download all files from online?

    If you do this in the face of Internet Explorer help, I suggest that you should change the default download location and check if it helps.

    Method 1

    In internet explorer, you can change the default location.

    Here's how:

    a. open internet explorer.

    b. click on Tools , then select view downloads.

    c. downloads for window, click Options.

    d. now, enter the default download location and click on the OK button.

    Turn on the computer at the beginning of boot and check if the problem persists.

    Method 2

    Perform a clean boot to see if no third-party service is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: follow step 3 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

  • just formatted my WD my passport ultra 1 TB to my xbox 1. Its now not show on my windows vista computer

    OK, so I just format my WD my passport ultra 1 TB to my xbox 1. Its now not show on my windows vista computer, worked and connected very well before, but now nothing appears. Anything to help. Thank you

    OT:

    Please help with this

    Try this: go to "Start" then go to "Computer" right click on computer and left-click 'manage '.

    This will bring you to the management of the computer. From there, you should see the drive. Try "initialize disk".

    If you are not the "backup operator" or the "Administrator", then go to the control panel - system tools

    -Administrative Tools, then click on "disk management". From there, you can follow these instructions.

    Initialize new disks

    Backup operator or administrator is the minimum number of members required.

    To initialize new disks
    1. In disk management, right-click the disk you want to initialize, and then click Initialize Disk.

    2. In the dialog box initialize the disk , select the disk to initialize. You can choose to use the master boot record (MBR) or the style of partition GUID partition table (GPT).

    Note

    The disk is initialized as a basic disk.

    Additional considerations

    • New disks appear as uninitialized. Before you can use a disk, you must first initialize it. If you start disk management after the addition of a disk, the disk initialization Wizard appears then you can initialize the disk.

  • Adding a hard drive from windows xp to a windows vista computer

    Computer XP

    AMD athlon 64 x 2 3600 (two CPUS to 1.9 GHz each)
    Radeon 4670 1gig
    3gigs of ram
    Windows XP
    Unknown motherboard

    GeForce 9500 GT
    4Gigs of ram
    Vista home 6.0 (im not sure if it's a 32 or 64)
    power of 500 watts
    drive hard 300gig (also not sure about the details)

    I want to do the xp drive the master that I just can't stand vista at all. More my xp disc has some programs and files that I don't have a CD for and will need to download to replace and with my internet slow (150 KB/s max), it would take days.

    Is it possible to go from drives like that?

    Or at least make the xp programs I want transfer on vista drive and a secondary? or maybe set it up as a dual boot (im not sure what that means) and as a side note, I no longer have my windows xp CD, is there a way to replace those?

    Hello

    1. If came pre-installed XP (Dell, HP, etc.) it is an OEM license and is linked to the original computer on which it was installed.

    An OEM license is not transferable.

    2. even if XP is a retail license, chances are he wouldn't start the Vista machine as hard drive XP still installed the motherboard drivers "old."

    You will probably need to do a clean install of XP.

    3. you cannot transfer installed programs.

    You will need to reinstall them from the original (CD, DVD or Net downloads) media.

    See you soon.

  • my windows vista computer will not be validated

    I recently installed several security updates, and later my windows vista is not recognized as authentic. I bought it 2 years almost with installed before buying it, so I did not any area recovery CD or windows vista. the sticker on the bottom of my laptop is completely worn out. I downloaded an application key finder and have what seems to be a product key valid, but when I try to run the slui.exe it never ends. I get error 0xC004E003. I also never get an option to activate by phone, I suppose that that option no longer exists. How can I fix? It is the kind of a disadvantage and makes me nervous about using my computer on an unsecured network.

    Your error message indicates a "stuck key".

    This particular message occur to try to activate a key OEM_SLP - which can be activated by internet or phone-activated, it is based on the BIOS to activate.

    Your only real option, as you say that the sticker is now unreadable, is to reinstall Vista using the manufacturer's recovery disks or partition - note that this will erase all your data and programs, so be installed first of all external media!

  • My Windows Vista computer is corrupt and I'm in a vicious circle where everything I try to repair fails

    I recently installed a selection of 'important' updates on Windows Update. initially they kept not so I installed them in safe mode. Since my computer is in an apparently irreversible cycle and all the solutions on the forums that I am trying to use to fix, it seems to fail. It resembles a virus but I ran Norton 360 in safe mode and it found nothing. I have removed all the updates installed on the roundabout but I always meet the same problems.

    When I boot I get a message saying "Settings.ini is being used by another process. Close the other program and then click Retry, or click Cancel to exit sidebar. "I tried the clean boot fix, but it does not work. Also Norton 360 does not open, Windows Update is not as open, the event log does not work, System Restore has no restore points or can it create a new one, incident reports does not work. I tried to download "correction" using MS Fixit, but as soon as I get to the page and click on the download button I get the following message: "Internet Explorer could not open the Internet site. The site requested is either not available or cannot be found. "Please try again later" literally, it seems that every difficulty I try hit a dead-end. I tried to uninstall Norton360 and reinstall, but it won't let me do no more. I ran CHKDSK in command prompt and apparently there is nothing wrong with that. I tried to open Firefox, but it gives me a message telling me that Firefox is already running? It won't let me download Chrome or Safari either.

    My guess is that this is a problem with Windows Update as the Fixit research said there was a problem with some Windows Update components, well again once I am unable to make a fix on those that it gives me the message "Internet Explorer could not open the Internet site.

    Can someone please offer suggestions as to how I could escape from this cycle? I can not even save my files as my Nero BackitUp opens correctly or the other. Disaster! Also tried user account control solves, but these do not seem to work either. Help!

    Hello, Nick Ackerman,.
