Windows Vista not able to support the WPA2 wireless security problem

Recently, I upgraded my router wireless to a Linksys 400N series N wireless router.  I use WPA Personal / RTK to authenticate and on all my XP and Vista machines, I was able to enter the security credentials and connect to the network. However, on a computer Windows Vista SP2 I be prompted to enter a field of login/password / username each time I try and connect to the network.  There must asking me my password and that's it.  This same card was working fine like WEP when I use my old wireless router.

I deleted this adapter wireless network and sharing Center, ensured that the machine is part of the domain, uninstalled the wireless network card (which is also a Linksys product), assured the latest version of the driver and tried almost all the trouble shooting tips I can think.

I've seen this identified as a problem in a few threads but no final resolution.  Any help/suggestions would be appreciated (no suggestion to buy a Mac tho!).

Update:
----------
Well well, after a diagnosis much more, I have determined that it is certainly a problem of Windows Vista.  If I plug a different adapter in the computer (which runs on a different computer), I get the same problem.  I was on the phone with Linksys for an hour and basically they have thrown in the towel and gave me an RMA for their card, though I doubt it will solve the problem.

Is there some registry entry to set the type of authentication for a wireless adapter?  It seems that Vista keeps thinking it is the incorrect authentication mechanism.  Is it possible to 'fix' service wireless on Windows?

Okay, I think that the real problem is that Windows Vista doesn't have the type of select WPA2 security (which is what the router broadcasts).  Is there a way to enter in this somehow?  It seems that Windows determines the types of security available according to the driver for the wireless card.  However, I use a Linksys Wireless-G USB Adapter (WUSBG54) and it says that it supports WPA (although I can't determine if it is only WPA or WPA2 as well).  In any case, hope this additional information helps all those who have a few cycles to provide some guidance.

Hello

WPA or WPA 2 encryption is actually supported by the wireless card that you have installed on the computer. As you only could use WPA earlier, it seems that the wireless network adapter supports only WPA and WPA 2 encryption key.

Because the computer is in the domain, we recommend that you post your request here for more support options.

    Hello;
     
    I did run a daily backup to a computer in a network with windows backup and Restore Center. the hard drive crashed on this computer and we had to install another. When I try and use advanced restore / backup made on a different computer, I can navigate to the backup on the network computer folder but when I select the folder and click Next it gives me an error:
     
    I get: Windows is not able to load the backup game selected for the following reason:

    There is a problem with the backup catalog... 0x810000E5... restore from a different place...

    Just to add additional information; The computer with the replaced hard drive running Vista family premium, the path to the backup file is \\HPDESKTOP\Public\Backup\Bobruncer-pc\.

    There is another folder under Bobruncer-pc called Bobruncer-pc and all the backup files. I restore from the correct location? Also, the backup folder is 226 concerts but the backups were made from a hard drive of 80 GB... should I worry about this too?

    Thank you

    Hi Colt4t5,

    Just to clarify, perform you a complete PC Backup or backup and restore?

    When you do return, and restore, it can be saved as a .zip file in the backup folder. You can decompress the file and retrieve the required files.

  • Not able to install the update to Security Advisory 2718704 security.

    Original title: Security Advisory 2718704.

    Hello

    I am running Windows XP Tablet SP2 because SP3 trashes my graphics card.
    Should I worry about FLAME? What do you recommend?
    When I tried to apply the patch, I got a message that I need SP3!

    Thank you

    Info: Support for WinXP SP2 ended nearly two years ago.

    Fact: The computer lacks literally scores of critical security updates.

    Fact: The computer in question must NOT be connected to the internet or local area network (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    OPTION A: Take the computer to a local computer equipment recycler & kiss goodbye.

    OPTION B: Format the hard drive and then do a clean install (another?) of Windows. [Remove Acronis images previously created in advance].

    Follow the instructions in this post of mine in another forum (to-the-letter & in order! ): http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=44636

    If you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system

    Tip: If you still have problems with the pen after cleaning install, chances are that you just need a driver updated for the capture software. You should be able to find the update of the pilot on the bridge or the device, the manufacturer download pages.

    Wish I had better news for you.  Good luck!

  • Wil Windows 7 does not start and is not able to solve the problem

    Hello

    I tried several things at this stage. I have a Toshiba that windows is not able to solve the problem on its own when starting. InsydeH20 BIOS, I have ensured that the system must start using the HARD disc as shown.

    When the problem started he said that the problem could have been caused due to a media device may have been connected to the computer and that Windows could not fix the problem automatically. I was then able to enter the menu to try to do a system restore; It did not work. From that moment, I opened windows to use the F8 key and was able to start using the corrupted files, but now after a update tried to install all I get is a black screen with a white line of underscore flashing in the top left of my screen.

    I downloaded an ISO file for Windows 7 from my other laptop and was able to boot from there to get to the point where I would be able to try a system restore, use the prompt, etc., but even once it is not solved the problem.
    At some point, the screen showed that there is a cable that is not connected or something, I don't not entered all of this, but I do not know how to check this part of it. Could someone please give me direction from here to what I can do?

    Thank you

    > However now after a tried update install all I get is a black screen with a white flashing line of underscores in the upper left corner of my screen.

    This is a typical symptom for a faulty HARD drive.
    I had the same cursor blinking in the upper left corner and finally I could solve this problem using the new HARD disk.

    > At some point, the screen showed that there is a cable that is not connected or something.
    Maybe you mean the error: pxe/e61: mediatest failure, check the cable of
    This happens if the portable computer is trying to boot from LAN. This happens because the OS on the HARD drive is not bootable, and this happens especially if the HARD drive is malfunctioning

    In my opinion, you need to change the HARD drive.
    I think this should solve the problem.
