Wireless Assistant stopped working

Wireless Assistant has become invalid. I lost the icon on the task bar when in Control Panel, the wireless assistant won't open to allow me to enable it. I got it workingafter Download Driver Wizard wireless and wireless WLAn driver from Broadcom. When I restarted after it was no longer available and I could not get it working again

I know it's late, but if all goes well, it will help others like me. I tried everything to fix this. I also have a HP Pavilion dv6000 equipped of Vista. After working twice because of this, I now know the problem is with the battery. Both times this happened to me, I did turn on (battery in poor condition). I used all the Microsoft tools, called HP (who wanted me to ship it to them to be repaired for about $400), re-installed the drivers and software and so on and so forth.

Here's what seems to work:

Make sure you have re-installed the drivers of wireless network using the Recovery Manager: do not reboot until you have re-installed (mine were theBroadcom 802.11 network adapter driverandVista driver - Broadcom wireless LAN). Make sure that you running on AC. pull the battery and let then restart. You should arrive at Vista all reloading and grateful for your wireless adapter and be back in business. Do not know what will happen if I put the battery back in, but will try.

It would be interesting to see if it is enough to remove the battery and restart would have worked as well. Well, if you're like me you'll be happy just get the damn thing working again.

  • My wireless mouse stop working

    My wireless mouse stop working... any suggestions? I put a new battery in it and it still does not work?

    Hi Glenna,

    Try a classic USB mouse to confirm that this isn't your system programs related to the mouse.

    Try using different USB ports in order to check that it is not a problem with that specific port.

    Try the mouse wireless on another computer to see if she's working.  That should help tell if the problem is with the mouse or with the computer.

    If it came with the software, firmware and drivers, try to reboot to see if that solves the problem.

    If she just started recently, try a system restore to a point in time before that the problem started.  If you use Windows 7, see:http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html. If you are using Vista, see:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/. If you are using XP, see:http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial56.html.

    If the mouse doesn't work no matter what you try (on any computer), then chances are it is defective and must be replaced.  If it works on other computers, but not on this computer, then further efforts will be necessary to try to track down the problem.  If the above does not resolve the problem, after return with the results of what you have tried and what version of Windows are you using and the manufacturer, brand and model number accurate and complete of the wireless mouse.  Then this thread will probably be moved to where it should be (this is for feeback on the forums, the issues not techniques on mouse problems) and the people in this forum will also offer assistance.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • X 61: wireless adapter stopped working at home, work at the office...

    It's the strangest thing. Last night my (Intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG) wireless adapter stopped working at home - I can view all the networks and try to connect but it won't just end connections to one of the networks I could use in the past (my own password protected network or those open).

    Curiously, he does not work in my office, connect to our society, protected wireless network password.

    I tried to uninstall the drivers as well as access to the connections and install the latest drivers - but in vain.

    Help, please!

    Moderator Note: type added to the subject line.

    I don't know if it was AC 5.2 or not (because I just realized that the networks in question were not accessible on my iPhone either) - so I reset my router again and now everything is good.

    Thank you!

  • WRT54G - wireless just stopped working on all devices

    Hi all

    I had my WRT54G for a few years and have my hard wired office (to the router) and 2 laptops and an ipod, wireless successfully for 2 years. Woke up this morning and nothing connects wireless, find that the router is intermittent, and when it does, it cannot establish a connection with her. I can connect the devices via the network cable directly to the router and everything works fine, it's just wireless which has suddenly stopped working.

    I tried "' turning and the new" disable the WEP password changing WEP etc but nothing seems to work. " IM at a loss as to why my all just network/wireless has stopped working?

    Any ideas?

    You must update the firmware of the router, then reset and reconfigure the router.

  • 15-r014TX HP: hp support assistant stopped working

    I have upload a screenshot that show what happens when I open hp support assistant. There is mistake to see the then stopped.

    After that happens


    then it closes automatically.

    Please tell me how I can solve this problem.
    my pc is all software up to date.

    Hi @rhl_yadav,

    Thank you for your response.

    You said if you reinstall Windows, it works very well for a few days, but then comes back.

    When it works, and before it fails, what is changing?

    If you are not sure, please do a HP PC - refresh your PC to solve problems (Windows 8) to get it working again.

    Although this should not affect your personal data, I do not pretend to make a backup to ensure no data gets lost.

    Create a restore point that you can go back.  Computers HP - using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)

    Watch closely to see if you can determine what has changed the origin of this difficulty.

    Good luck!

    Hello!

    If you use Windows Vista, you must disable the WLAN energy saving function. You can find it in the Vista power management options. Check it!

    In addition, you should try to update the driver WLAN and the BIOS. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online downloads support & -online Download Driver

    Last but not least, I would recommend that you read hundreds of discussions on the problems of WIFI. You will find so much tips and tricks how to increase the WLAN functionality and troubleshooting.

    Good bye

    Hello!

    Have you tried to update the driver WLAN? You can find it on the Toshiba site or portal driver WLAN:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    Have you checked for yellow exclamation marks Device Manager?

    Check if the laptop WLAN switch lights up and I can disable/enable WLAN with FN + F9 on my Satellite phone.

  • M40X: Wireless has stopped working

    Hello world

    Please can someone help. My wireless connection just stopped working. I have a Toshiba M40x, a router belkin g (F5D7231uk4) and my sevice provider is NTL. I checked with NTL and all is well. I took the cable that connects the modem to the router on the router and connected to my PC laptop and the internet works fine.

    I also reconected it cable and run another ethernet cable from the router to my laptop computer and again internet works fine. When I right click on the little icon wireless and research of wireless computer sometimes shows my router, but nothing happens when I click conect. External wireless switch is turned on.

    Please note that I'm not amazingly well with PCs, so answers in English would be fine.

    Hello

    @fraziola: Sorry, but I m bit confused. The ethernet cable is plugged in and you want to connect to the router via WiFi? Or you have disconnected the cable and then try to connect the router?
    However, in my opinion, you need to reconfigure the router. Check all the settings of the router. In addition, you will need to create a SSID.
    I put t know if you use a WLan configuration tool and more, but if not to check the properties of WLan. In the wireless network tab, you will find an option to use windows to configure my wireless, this option must be enabled.
    Then, you can use the lives option wireless networks.
    If you use encryption, then you must also enter a good code.

    Believe me, the WiFi network is a very complex issue and if you have no experience so ask someone who has more experience of these things.

  • Satellite A500 - 15N Wireless has stopped working

    I bought my A500-15N in last October and had no problems at all with wireless connectivity. Last night when I was surfing Internet it suddenly stopped working (literally between two pages on Wikipedia) and I can connect is no longer. When I try the troubleshooting option, I still see an error 'wireless capability is turned off. I not made any changes to my router or laptop, so I'm not sure what could be going wrong.

    Is the wireless adapter fuck and I need to get this replaced? I tried the combo FN + F8 but which does nothing either.

    Hey,.

    Is the WLAN card still listed in Device Manager correctly and have you tried another key FN if combination work?
    Usually the WLAN card can be disabled with the FN + F8 key combination you wrote

    In your case I would recommend updating the driver WLAN. You can download the latest driver WLAN here:

  • Scroll wheel on the mouse Microsoft 3000 wireless has stopped working?

    I bought a Microsoft Wireless 3000 Mobile in purple mouse, manufacturer #6BA-0026 last month and now the wheel has stopped working. I can't move the mouse. Only the buttons work, this mouse is less, is about a month. Cannot take back to the store because they one day 14 return policy, so now I'm stuck with a mouse that doesn't work. Is it possible to get the scroll wheel to work. Using the button takes a lot more movement and it is easier to use the wheel. Why my mouse was working only for a month? Do I have to spend more money to buy another mouse? Is there some type of downloading software that I can use to make this mouse works correctly.

    Hello

    1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
    2. did you try to use the same mouse to different computer and check?

  • Capacity wireless suddenly stopped working after an update of Windows Vista.

    Feature WiFi suddenly stopped working after a windows vista updated.  Wireless switch is engaged, but stays yellow that messeges troubleshooting all say computer does not detect wireless devices.  It's as if someone pulled the unit and the antenna of the portable computer.  I also downloaded the wireless drivers and Setup several times without success.  Wireless device appears in the Device Manager page.  The only thing that is showing and work is the cable which is how I can download the drivers and appear on this forum.  Is it possible that the wireless device is broken?  All applicable lights are lit on the networking modem, no signal is detected on the computer, I have concluded that the wireless on the laptop is just inop.  Either way, I have a Compaq Presario F700 laptop.  All the options out there?  Thank you

    original title: can't find the wireless device

    Hello again, Kathy,

    More specific instruction, I can give to check settings in the BIOS of your system is to search for a list of devices that installed your laptop. There are only two options for each device, activate them and deactivate them.
    Look for something listed as network radio or wireless card and make sure that it is set to enable.
    The option that you network adapter found can also control the wireless adapter, but it can control only the plug adapter (Ethernet) network.
    A simpler solution, if you have not already tried it it is the system restore in Windows as mentioned by Kiran in a previous answer:
    WARNING: Changing the BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can resolved e. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
