Wireless connection is slow after installing Windows 8.

upgrade to Windows 8 with digital download.  Now, the wireless download speed reduced to a crawl - 38 Mbps about 1mbps.  Download speed is about 2, 5-2, 8 which is what it is supposed to be.  Download speed when connected via an ethernet cable is well, just at the moment where the use wireless.  Downloaded drivers updated at Acer wireless lan, but nothing helps.

Help please.   I've noticed it seems to be a common problem there and existed well before the official release of win 8

Original title: download wireless speed severely impaired after upgrade to windows 8

Hi guys

I had this problem too and the fix has been surprisingly easy for me. Here's what I did:

-Left click the Internet access icon at the bottom right (next to the audio icon), and then make a right click the wireless network, you're connected to and select "view the connection properties.

-In the Security tab of this window, click the encryption type drop-down list box and select "TKIP".
-Press OK.
I had read this as a suggestion in another thread and it worked :)

My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L650, which has an Atheros wireless card.

I hope this helps.

    With this many cross-browser issues, can you confirm that your system clock date, time, and time zone are all correct? SSL validity checks are time sensitive.

    If you see a globe, I think that you are unable to use an HTTPS address. Usually Firefox displays a padlock or a "!" icon in the shape of triangle on a HTTPS address depending on whether the certificate withdraws or has a problem.

She said "not connected-no connections are available. So is it not reconizing him actions card built in the Board of directors or what. I tried to reload the drivers. I can use any help I can get.

    Ok.

    The only suggestion I can offer would be to install the latest driver ethernet directly from BCM and see if it works.

    I think you need the first driver on the list for 32 bit.

    You will need to manually install the driver for the adapter ethernet BCM in the Device Manager, as the file contains only the driver files and no setup.exe file.

    Hello

    Welcome to the Forums Community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

    According to the description, you get an error message "FAILED CONNECTION USER INIT" after installing Windows updates.

    From my research, this problem occurs if the Userinit key in the Windows registry has been changed. For example, this problem may occur if the Userinit key has a value, but no binary data.

    I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below.

    Method 1:

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 2: Check the value and binary Userinit registry data

    Important: The following instructions contain the steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information, view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    Back up the registry
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    a. start Registry Editor. To do this, click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

    b. click continue.

    c. Locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

    d. in the right pane, right-click Userinit, and then click change.

    e. in the value data box, type hard disk:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe, and then click OK.

    Note: The placeholder of the hard drive refers to the drive on which Windows Vista is installed.

    f. close the registry editor.

    g. restart the computer.

    Method 2:

    Restore the system to an earlier point before installing this application.

    System Restore can return your files system to a point in time before you noticed a problem, without affecting documents, photos, or other personal files. If the system restore does not resolve the problem, you can undo the restore operation and choose a different restore point.

  • SD card is not working properly after installing windows 10

    I have a MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015) with EL Capitan 10.11.5 and after I installed 10 windows using bootcamp, everything worked fine at first, but after I deleted my part of windows and then installed windows 10 the second time, the SD card is not working properly. She mounts only if the computer shuts down first, and then start. If I take the laptop directly, the SD card will not rise. The same thing happens when I switch systems using a control option key or bootcamp Center where when I switched to another system, the SD card that was mounted on the old system does not appear in the new system. I was trying to solve this problem remove the part of windows before you reinstall it again once, so I found that after I deleted the windows part, the problem is gone and it reappeared after installing windows 10 even once. I also found that after I installed windows the total volume of hard drive (128g front) became 121g.

    Hello LorinMax,

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know the importance of your work with your Macbook Pro SD card!

    If I understand correctly, you cannot use your SD card, unless you stop and then restart. Because this behavior started when you installed Boot Camp, I would start with the following steps:

    1. first of all, start by repairing your hard disk in disk utility to correct the unexpected problems that could be the cause of this behavior.

    Disk utility (El Capitan): a disc repair

    2. use Mode without fail to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks, remove files from the system cache, check your startup disk and trying to fix problems if necessary directory.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    Graphics performance limited in recovery of OS X or in safe mode

    3. According to Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide, you may need to back up your personal data and reinstalling OS X, then reinstall Windows via Boot Camp and related support files.

  • Computer OS used to start after installing windows 10

    Hello im having problem starting my system after installing windows 10. I did the install and it worked fine since the upgrade to 8.1. But then I tried to format the drive and in the menu format, he's stuck at 2%, and then I restarted the computer. Now it will hang at the hp logo and go back to the same logo. Do I have to replace my hard drive?

    What I understand, if you have completed the 10 Windows Installer and everything has happened until the end, then you are supposed to be able to do a clean install with the download of Windows 10 DVD or USB.  With a working computer, GO to THIS PAGEand scroll down to the button "download tool" selection the 64-bit version.  Once clicked, it will ask you if you want a DVD or USB for the iso.

    Once it's done and you have the DVD or the USB version, see if you can install Windows 10.  If this fails, you may need to replace the hard drive.

    Hello world.

    At first, I'm sorry for my bad English, so I will say in no time.

    A few days ago, I removed a few programs, and I installed the new Windows 7 operating system. Everywhere I had to download the new drivers for the camera because they do not work. After you download the drivers of the camera, the camera become operative (YES!), but later worked for me, a built-in microphone was out of use. What may be of it with the cause and this driver to download and why the microphone not working?

    I can't talk with friends on Skype ;( Help me. I hope you know what I'm saying.

    Hello

    Do you really install any drivers after installing Windows 7? Maybe you have forgotten something and so it doesn t work.
    Micro is a part of webcam so be sure that driver webcam is properly installed and driver sound, you need to as well.

    After that, check the sound settings. Make sure that the Microphone is enabled and test it again with amp active microphone.
