Y500 Windows 8.1 failed wireless.

So I just did a refresh on my Windows 8.1 Y500. My wireless (Centrino-N-2230) worked perfectly fine before the update and now is ungodly slow. the only change in the environment was the 8.1 update and I am out of resources here.

  • Modem/router reloaded
  • Reinstalled drivers
  • uninstalled the drivers and let Windows load its own
  • Bluetooth disabled
  • Modified sensativity of Roaming low-income
  • Disabled Wireless N (only having a G router)

I think I'm to the point where I just refresh the machine again, but the wireless issues it took me two days to get to this day. Very, very frustrated, and I just want that laptop to be able to connect to wireless internet. Otherwise, this has been a very good product, but one of the essential features no longer works and it is a problem.

Since you have the wifi Intel N2230 card try to use the Intel driver that you can download from the Intel site. Also try resetting your router after you change some settings in your operating system.

  • Receive error message: ": windows cannot configure this wireless connection if you have enabled another program to configure this wireless connection, use that software."

    Internet connection xp

    I am running windows xp sp3 on my laptop. After a restart of the internet connection (wireless failed). try to connect to the wireless network has this error
    ": windows cannot configure this wireless connection if you have enabled another program to configure this wireless connection, use that software."
    It's a toshiba n205.  When I right click on the wireless network printer it says that it is the firewall disabled. so I'm going to allow it and it still does not work. I don't understand because it seems that the firewall was working aok before restarting. I change all of the settings.

    I solved this problem by changing the setting to allow windows to establish the network connection, I guess it is made by toshiba software. If anyone knows WHY this would be the case, why all of a sudden we would lose the connection, would be useful.

  • Windows 10 upgrade fails with the error C1900101-20006

    The current operating system is Windows 7 SP1.

    First test was about 6 months ago.

    At that time googling the error has not returned any hits at all.

    Hoping that the problem would resolve itself, or a kind of diagnostic information would become available I tried again today, but with the same result.

    I tried things like run the update utility and uninstall the virus check tool, but all the tests gave the same result.

    Is it possible that I can get more information about what is really causing the error, for example which driver is causing the problem?

    An additional piece of info is the error of update: is 0x80070005, which seems to be "access denied."

    The upgrade is already running as an administrator, and I run the SubInACL tool.

    Consider the following text:

    Also, even if it is enabled in the Windows 7 power options, close the lid won't be thecomputer to sleep. If I close it turns off the screen but doen't make Windows 7 options.

    When I upgraded to Windows 7, I chose the option to do as a new installation and therefore lost my Vista installation.

    I have download all the drivers for Windows 7 on the Toshiba site, even if there were not many.

    Is there something else I need to do for the WLAN switch and cover works with Windows 7? Any help gratefully received.

  • Satellite A100: Use Windows to configure my wireless

    I created my Satellite A100 to connect wireless. It connects when I start sometimes and other times, I have to go to control panel and change the properties by placing a check mark in the "use Windows to configure my wireless"-it connects then immediately.

    Problem is that he doesn't remember this setting and 8 times out of 10. I have to go a place the tick in the box when I start. Also after hibernation, the network no reconnect and use windows to configure option is not checked but greyed out.

    Anyone has any ideas how I can make the tick in the box to default setting?

    Hello

    I never heard this issue before.
    Have you used an especial as Utility Intel ProSet utility to configure the WiFi connection?
    As far as I know on some computers the Intel ProSet utility portable Satellite A100 was preinstalled. You should find it in the assistance of Toshiba.
    I guess that this utility share rights of WLan connection. It is perhaps a reason for that matter.

  • Touchsmart 310 1033 (Windows 7 Premium) computer: Wireless no longer works

    I struggle to believe that HP does not have a better approach to the questions that a rude message telling a customer that his warranty has expired. If the warranty has expired, should be the end of the world?

    My pc, Touchsmart 310 1033, running Windows 7 suddenly stopped wireless, about 6 months ago. I've not been around to attend to the problem, given that the network connection has been authorized with cable. Meanwhile, I had assumed that it was a simple thing, somewhere. But now, I start thinking that I'm wrong.

    I'd appreciate a solution proposed by the community.

    If you have a faild or defective wireless signal or the chip, and there is not much you can do, but you can buy a wyfy stick that resembles a Flash DRIVE or memory stick something like that and you can get your AIO to rework on wyfy

    Good luck

    The error basically says that he tried to write something on your hard drive and for some reason that unfinished write operation.  This could indicate a bad sector on your hard disk, damaged disk or a problem with your hardware.

    Whenever a problem involving a disk read or write appears, my first approach is to perform a verify operation of the disc to the hard drive.  Even if this is not your problem, it is a step of good routine maintenance. Run the disk check with the "/ R" or "Repair" option.  Note that the real disk check will be presented at the next reboot, will run until Windows loads completely, cannot be interrupted and can take more than a few hours to run depending on the size of your hard drive, the quantity and type found corruption and other factors.   It is better to perform during the night or when you won't need your computer for several hours.
