  • Unable to connect to wireless networks more. ("Windows could not connect to (SSID)")

    Hello!

    Something very strange is happening with my laptop (dv6-3060ee). Up to this day at noon, everything worked well, including the wireless network. So, I set my computer to Hibernate and came to the House of my parents. As I turn it on and try to connect to the wireless here, I can't. I get this error "Windows could not connect to (name of the network).

    I'm on W7 Home Premium 64-bit and the card wireless in an Atheros 9285 b/g/n (model number can be a problem, I have it does not properly check).

    Things to consider:

    -I don't know that this is not a router problem or hardware WiFi card because:

    1. I can connect to the router and get internet access on my phone and with the other computer normally.

    2. on the laptop, I can not connect to the network without wire inside W7, BUT with HP QuickWeb (this system of Opertaing before loading windows), I can normally connect to the network and access to internet.

    -Have you ever tried, without success:

    1 reinstall the driver for the wireless card / Unistalling the driver and install it again

    2. change the encryption on the router. (Even with no encryption I can't connect)

    3. of course, restarting the computer, turn off/on of the network card, reset the router

    So, I'm sure it's a problem with Windows. I did some research here and in other places and other people seem to have the same problem, but I couldn't find any solution.

    I didn't install any software today which could cause conflicts.

    So, can someone help me, please?

    Thank you

    Thank you for your help, but I'd already sorted.

    The problem was really the driver, an update had been installed by the HP update program and it makes the device stop working. This problematic driver was March, I can't remember the version number.

    I went to the Device Manager and pressed on "Roll Back Driver". Windows restored to an October/2009 driver, 8.0.0.238 version number, and now it works as it should.

    Hi 1234Tony,

    First of all, I suggest you that you also scan your laptop for infection by the virus. Second, reset TCP/IP stack Winsock settings. This could correct mistakes involving internet connectivity as a result of problems of installation of network software, due to a virus, trojan or malware infection or even due to disinfection of spyware security software.

  • Why windows does not connect to the Group Policy client?

    I am currently using a dell inspiron with windows 7 Edition 7720 Home premium and recently a message started to appear above my taskbar saying

    "Unable to connect to a windows service.
    Windows could not connect to the Group Policy Client service. The problem prevents standard users to log on to the system.
    As long as administrator, you can go through the system event log to see why the service failed"
    Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

    The resolution is quite easy. Ignore all these tech geeks here and on other sites that just want to show how they can play with the registers - a very dangerous game.  Go to search, type in cmd, open cmd as administrator.  Type exactly this (with the indicated spaces): netsh winsock repair, and then press ENTER. You need to restart (NOT close and turn on) your computer. Bingo! Unfortunately, this condition can re - occur from time to time, as if you start your computer before you turn on your internet connection and establish a good connection.  Don't worry the fix takes about 3 to 5 minutes depending on your speed of restart computer.

  • Windows 7 not seeing computer XP on the WORKING group

    OK so I have 3 computers at home using three different versions of Windows:

    Desktop computer - XP

    • This computer is connected to the internet via a cable modem. The cable modem has a router NETGEAR Wireless in tandem.
    • This computer can see portable #1 and portable #2 in the WORKING group.

    #1 - Vista laptop

    • This computer uses its wireless card to connect to the network.
    • This computer can see Desktop and Laptop #2 in the WORKING group.

    #2 - Windows 7 laptop

    • This computer uses its wireless card to connect to the network.
    • This computer can see portable #2, but can NOT see of desktop (running XP).

    All computers are in the WORKING group. I have the Windows Firewall on all three. For the life of me I can't understand why Windows 7 does not see the XP computer. Windows 7 has been updated with the network discovery and public folder sharing (explaining why the other two computers can see it).

    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Hi GVaron,

    Change the settings of firewall on Windows 7 computer and check to see if that allows you to view the Windows XP computer.

    Also, follow the article given below to check the networking between the different versions on Windows.

  • Windows 7 not connected the system event notification.

    Hello

    I have Windows 7 operating system on my laptop wireless. (it's 32 bit), lately, when I start the computer, it is very very slow and then I get this message that says: Windows 7 has no connection to the system event notification.

    I did system restore, but it did not work. I ran Fixit program but nothing happened. So what is the cause and how to fix it?

    I read a few solutions on the internet, but when I tried to follow them, I can't find certain things on my computer, that are mentioned in the instructions, so I can not complete the step by step instructions.

    Please respond to your first it will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    I understand that you get the message 'Windows 7 did not link with the event notification system. Let me ask you a few questions to better understand.

    1. When exactly do you get this error?
    2. This error occurs on a specific user account?
    3. You did a significant hardware or software change before this problem?
    4. What security software do you use?

    This conflict may have been caused by some programs launched during the startup process of Windows 7 with the services.

    I suggest you to try the following suggestions and check.

    Method 1: The value Service of event system Automatic Notification.

    To so proceed as follows:

    one), click Start or press the Windows key + R

    (b) type Services.msc in the search box and press enter.

    (c) right click on System Event Notification Service.

    (d) click on Properties , change the startup type to Automatic.

    If the computer stops during execution of the above steps, you can try to put the computer in clean boot mode and check.

    Method 2: Check safe mode

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=Windows-7

    If the computer starts quickly in safe mode, check in a clean boot

    Method 3: Perform the clean boot

    Put your system to the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

  • Windows could not connect to the user profile Service

    I couldn't use my own laptop for six months. Whenever I try to connect to my profile (profile/ONLY the Administrator profile), it gives me this:

    "Unable to connect to a windows service. Windows could not connect to the service user profile service. This problem prevents standard users to log on to the system. As an administrator, you can view the system event log to see why the service did not respond. »

    The error itself didn't come for two days now, but the problems still present themselves:

    -My personal profile seems gone.

    -Impossible to connect to the internet (my connection is fine, I use another laptop on the network even in the same House now)

    -Return to default settings

    -Slower than usual start.

    I tried the solutions that have been everywhere online and none of them worked for me. Help, please? I'd like to have my laptop back...

    Additional info: Im using a laptop Windows 7 Dell Inspiron (1564) and there is no point of restoration since before the error. I tried the Regedit fix and it didn't work and it doesn't let me delete the profile owner / administrator as to make a new one.

    To correct this corruption of user profiles, consult a guide to recovery of lost password Windows 7 Home Premium account user, can't connect, connection problem

    Him begins the article with some basic steps you can take and then work upwards through more complicated methods where the easiest do not solve the problem. Please read the intro, but I think it will be the 8 method which solves your problem. Follow the precautionary measures later in the thread as well.

    You could be up & running again within an hour, probably less.

    If you have any questions, then post them here [i.e. don't post in the thread linked as it is already very long]; I'll keep an eye on this issue.

    Hello

If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks
