• My Windows 7 computer will not find the networks wireless after a system restore.

  My Windows 7 computer is not find wireless networks after I did a system restore. It was perfectly good wifi before the system restore and other members of my family have a great connection except me is not a problem with my router. I think I know what the problem is, but I just don't know how to fix it. So there you go. I did my restore system about 2 days after that we moved on the provider of internet/tv "Comcast" to the tv/internet provider "Verizon". what I think has happened, is that I restored my computer to the point when we had no Verizon so that he could not find the network. Now, since we have Comcast it won't identify this network either, so maybe some of you out there could help me. : D

• HP Photosmart C309a AiO Wireless on and work, can not find the network!

  My printer has stopped printing a couple of days.  It was fine, now it is not.  The blue light wireless radio is turned on, but when I run the network set in place, it works simply and can not find my network.  I ran the network diagnostic and it detects my network, but can't find my printer.  On the test page, it fails on SSID.  I could use some help to get this operational back guys!  Thank you!

  Well, I can't comment officially, but I'm sure that has been discussed in, and design changes avoid this problem.

  Regarding something is through HP, you could call the HP Technical Support and check if you have options to upgrade to a new printer. They should have a list of printers and prices offered as part of the upgrade process. There is no charge to call and check the options you have. If you are in the United States, call the 1-800-474-6836. Otherwise, click on the contact HP link at the top of this page.

  Hello

  Can you explain what connection to a network means in your case?

  What exactly you want to connect?

  If you have a valid broadband (Internet connection), you are already connected to a network.

  If you want to check your wireless system follows this process.

  If as a result of this process, you find something wrong, tell us what it is.

  Most laptops have a physical switch for the wireless card. Read the manual of the computer and make sure that the wireless adapter is on.

  Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

  If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

  Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

  Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

  Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

  Above everything is OK and it connects to the wireless router. Log in from any computer which is, or can be connected to the router with a wire wireless, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless streaming is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

  When the work turns on the Wireless security.

  Note * people sometimes make mistakes in writing and retype the password for security.

  Another way is to copy in the menu of the router and then paste it when asked of the wireless card.

• I'm looking for a link to XP SP1 does not require a network connection to install

  I'm looking for a link to XP SP1 does not require a network connection to install

  Were you recently doing a Clean Install? I ask because you are implying in your installation of Windows XP is in 'gold' or SP0 (i.e., pre - SP1) level. Well sure, automatic updates will not work!
  You can use this path to level – says in passing:
  Gold XP to XP SP2 to XP SP3.
  Note that installing SP1a is TOTALLY USELESS!
  Here are the detailed instructions:

  1. download the installation of SP2, SP3 and IE8 files. I prefer to keep these on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of three files:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=28 (for SP2)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

  And if you wish, download the Setup file of a good anti-virus program. I recommend Avira free Antivirus:

  http://www.Avira.com/en/Avira-free-antivirus

  2. disconnect Internet.

  3. temporarily disable the automatic updates.

  4. install SP2. Restart twice.

  5 install the SP3. Restart twice.

  6 switch to IE8. Restart twice.

  7 install an Antivirus software.

  (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

  8 make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should be).

  (Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet.)

  9 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates.

  10 re - enable automatic updates.

  After the back if you need guidance.

• Recently downloaded programs do not find the internet connection.

  New programs I downloaded recently can not find my internet connection.  I get messages such as 'need Internet to continue', 'no internet connection', etc..  My internet is running and I'm able to send and receive emails, download videos (i-tunes, hulu, netflix) so I know I'm connected.  This has happened with PamFax, Nod32 and Picaso so I'm pretty sure it's a problem on my end and not with the programs I am trying to download.  I tried to turn off my windows firewall and pop-up blockers, windows Defender, but none of this has helped.

• Two issues here, 1st system restore will not restore, also wireless do not detect all networks

  Prob with system restore is everything goes well until the pc restarts, then get the restoration of of message without any changes have been made to your computer, this tent after several different restore points.

  The prob with connection Wi - Fi (intel pro 2200 bg) is it doesn't find any networks, pilot verified also that his permit, any help there ain't a pc wizz so any advice appreciated

  System Restore is not a panacea.  If this can help depends on what specific changes you want to cancel.

  Which leads to the question: what is is happened just before things stopped working?

  You do not mention if one of potential errors 13 to restore the system applied to you, or if none did, this error message you got when you tried to use the system restore.

  To do this:

  Tried the keys that turn off wifi nothing not even the light that says its /running activated

  say that the light associated with your wifi adapter is not turned on or off?  If Yes, I suppose that the light is 'off' now, correct?

  Further, I guess that the wifi card is internal and you have a portable computer.  What is the brand and model of your computer?

  Open the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK)
  Click on the + sign next to "network adapters."
  If there is an icon of warning/error next to an entry, double-click the entry and to report to what appears under the "Device status" and "Use of the device" (both on the general tab).

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand that Windows 7 can't find the network and I appreciate the efforts made to try the patches. Let me ask you;

  • Restoring the system led?
  • What exactly happens when you try to connect to the Wi - Fi?

  This could be due to several reasons, including any third party software conflict. Try the following methods and check.

  Method 1: Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network and check if the problem persists. If the problem does not persist in SafeMode with network, put the computer in a clean boot state and check.

  Step 1: Start the computer using safe mode with networking

  Safe mode with networking is an option of troubleshooting for Windows that starts your computer in a limited State. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. Safe Mode with networking appears in the corners of your monitor to identify which Windows mode you are using. You can use the internet connection in this mode.

  Please refer to: , start your computer in safe mode

  Step 2: Perform a clean boot in order to avoid any conflict of third party software.

  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.

  Place your system in 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.

  How to perform a clean boot in Windows

  Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.

  Method 2: Update the network adapter

  Step 1: Update the driver through Device Manager

  a. click Start , type Device Manager and click on it

  b. expand network adapters

• Palm TX v 6.2.2 installshield can not find the Internet connection

  -At the end of the installation process installshield find no Internet connection, even if the connection is running.

  -After several unsuccessful retryes, I gave a new attempt and installation seems to complete but says Windows Desktop is not responding and needs to close.

  -J' I reopen Desktop and it seems to work very well, but the pop-up window to transfer programs to the handheld device lists no program at all.

  Help, please:

  Can I trust the v 6.2.2 update?

  What Museum transferred to the handheld?

  Most recent is not necessarily equivalent to the best.  6.2.2 was a construction needed by a society of Japan (Access) to make a version of Palm Desktop which works with Vista and newer versions of Windows.  These new versions of Windows has broken several functions in Palm Desktop 4.x, so 6.2.2 was born.  It is not a version update of Palm Desktop.

  The fact that you're having trouble installing it is eloquent.  6.2.2 is known to lose data when a computer is closed and that the program is active, doesn't have a color code for the categories and breaks up the synchronization with DataViz products.  It uses a different database structure to 4.x, so all the backups of RAW files will not work.

  I have not installed 6.2.2 on a XP box, but I guess that it will work.  I would do so if the opportunity?   N °

  As a volunteer here, I have no real power to change the existing Support files.  I'm not "discredit" anything, just to offer a suggestion.  Palm Desktop 4.2 is designed for Windows XP, and works very well with this system.

• HP Officejet Pro 8100 does not print - wired network connection - Mac OS x 10.9

  I have my 8100 Officejet Pro connected to my home network via a wired ethernet connection. I use Mac OS X 10.9. We had ongoing problems with the printer is accessible via the network. Whenever we have set up the connection, it works for a few print jobs, but whenever we close the printer, the next attempt to print always fails.

  I just went through all steps to solve the problem. I went back to square one: reinstalled printer drivers on my MacBook Pro running Mac OS x 10.9; has passed through all stages of wired network connection. and now, every time I send a job to the printer, it fits like the receipt of employment and printing, but the printer itself does not.

  The Billboard on the printer indicates it is connected to the network. Print the Network Setup page confirms it is connected to the cable network. Visit the IP address of the printer via my web browser also confirmed. I am able to print a printer HP Print Utility status report, so I don't know that the computer network and the printer are connected and communicate with each other. However, I can't print from MS Word, PDF files or anywhere else outside of the HP Print utility. Work is revealed in the queue, where it shows the status of each page completely 100%, employment disappears, but does never print it.

  Help, please. This has been a problem since I bought the printer, and now that my warranty has expired, it's my last hope of fixing. I'm at the end of my tether with a device that I spent enough money on to expect to work, and it does not work properly literally since the day where it was purchased. All attempts to implement working temporarily, at best. Thanks in advance and if you need more information, please let me know.

  Hi DBG345

  I understand that you are now able to print from USB, but not on the network.

  There are a few things you can try.

  Connect the printer to the router with the ethernet cable.

  Unplug the USB cable.

  Get the IP address of the printer.

  Click on the Apple.
  Click on System Preferences, click on the print icon and scanning, select the printer, click the sign - to remove the printer. Then click on the + sign, then select the printer from the list, select the printer name first, if it does not try the driver airprint, (airprint is apple pre-installed with functionality of basic pilot) click on the Add button.

  You can try is to add the printer as a Protocol IP to see if it will work. Go to Apple, system, print, and scan preferences, click on + button, then select the icon of intellectual property across the top, type in the IP address of the printer, select direct stream below, then apply.

  Try to print.

  I would like to sign up for updates from the HP driver. When available, you will be informed by e-mail.

  Hope that helps.

• WIndows Vista not finding free Wifi connections

  I am running Windows Vista on an Inspiron 1420.  I used to connect to open wifi connections and now windows won't recognize that my connection at home I put in place manually.  I can see the other connections wifi with my computer, but windows will not recognize them.  This function is used to work and now it won't.  Any help would be great?

  KristinTX,

  I've been on the Forum and it seems that there are many people who have problems with the WiFi Catcher on an Inspiron 1420. You can see their support Forum.
  http://en.community.Dell.com/forums/default.aspx?GroupID=9

  However, there are a few things you can check.
  (1) did you use Dell QuickSet to enable and configure the switch to control WiFi network connections?

  This seems to be one of the conditions for their WiFiCatcher to work.
  (2) have you used the BIOS (System Setup program) to control WiFi network connections?
  (3) you have the BIOS update for your Inspiron 1420 system? The latest version is A10 with a date of 01/07/2009.
  (4) I recommend that you check all the driver updates especially for networking to see if this will help your question.
