• Windows 7 wireless connection problem

  I just bought a brand new Alienware m17x and all drivers are up to date... .IM with broadcom wireless network adapter. The strange thing is that last night I was on the internet for several hours without any problem using the wireless, but this morning iwas unable to use my wireless internet access. This has happened several times now. Sometimes it says "not connected - no available connections" and sometimes he says "not connected connections are available" when she says, links, I try to connect to the network, but it says "unable to connect to the network. The only time wherever I was able to connect to wireless internet, was when my computer is automatically connected to my wireless network without me having to select the network and attempt to connect. I read things about windows 7, with a mode of "sleeper" for wireless connections or something, and that can be the cause of it and that it is better to turn off or downgrade to xp. I am really frustrated because I am not able to connect wirelessly and I hope you guys can help me find a solution.

   

  Guide to correctly troubleshoot wireless M17x
  with Dell Wireless 1510/Broadcom card
  by Glzmo

  Since many new Alienware M17x all powerful users, especially those who use Windows 7 as operating system there are various problems with their Wi - Fi connection and post threads asking how their difficulty over and over again, I decided to write this guide to show them how to solve these issues properly Commons. The solutions in this guide were created and designed for 64-bit Windows 7, but they may also work in Windows Vista, although these problems were experienced by users of Windows 7 mainly in the past. It could very well be that the problems start occurring in Vista as well with the new drivers and Windows updates.

  I. may not connect to the wireless network and or see the wireless adapter when the Ethernet cable is disconnected
  If you sometimes or always unable to connect to the wireless network, cannot connect to the wireless network when the Ethernet cable is disconnected, unable to connect to a wireless network unless you restart once to get this work and other weird problems to be unable to connect to a wireless network continue with section II. Otherwise, continue with section II..

  Sleep of a.i. Disable on disconnect device
  Some new Nvidia Ethernet drivers have a function called sleep device to disconnect. This is the culprit. Normally, it should only put the card Ethernet to sleep when the cable is disconnected, but it is buggy and thus kill the wireless connection as well.
  Follow these steps to disable this feature on your Ethernet Nvidia card:
  1. open the Device Manager of Windows by pressing Win + break, and then click on Device Manager on the left side.
  2 double-click network adapters.
  3 double click on NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (Yes, that's indeed wired Ethernet adapter).
  4 click on the Advanced tab.
  5 select sleep on disconnect device.
  6 set the value to disabled.
  7 click OK and wireless should work again (may require a reboot later, but probably not).

  I.b. install different drivers (older) who do not have the device sleeping on disconnect feature.
  The above does not work or if you are not comfortable with these drivers, follow these steps (if step A.i. was successful, you will not need to follow these steps). Take care to create a system restore point before proceeding:
  1. click the Windows Start button in the taskbar.
  2 click on Control Panel.
  3 click on uninstall a program.
  4 in the list, double-click Nvidia drivers.
  5. Mark Remove only the following.
  6 in the box below, only check the Nvidia Network driver.
  7 click Remove and follow the uninstall instructions.
  8 restart the system, if you are prompted to.
  9 download another (older) driver from Nvidia.
  10 install the old driver.
  11 when asked what drivers you want to install, select only the network driver.
  12 follow the installation instructions and restart your system if prompted.

  II. Low or fluctuating wireless connection speeds
  If you have problems with WiFi low connection speeds (such as rates decline over time, the speeds are much lower than they should be, network lag/stutter in online games, loss of light packets, loss of internet connection as LAN works and other weird things) or speeds of fluctuating wildly without apparent reason wireless connection install the version of the Dell Wireless 5.60.18.8 drivers instead of the standard Broadcom drivers. All older drivers will usually cause the speed of connection under normal. Note, however, that you may need to install the driver manually via Device Manager as the pilot was not released for another laptop and is not officially available to the M17x yet - that's why the installer won't work. Take care to create a system restore point before proceeding.
  Here is a step by step how manually install the driver:
  1. download the drivers Dell Wireless 5.60.18.8.
  2 check out the R29128.exe file using an extraction utility like WinRAR or just run it and quit the installation program.
  3. open the Device Manager of Windows by pressing Win + break, and then click on Device Manager on the left side.
  4 double-click network adapters.
  5 double-click the Broadcom 802.11n network adapter entry.
  6 click on the driver tab.
  7 click the button Update driver .
  8 click Browse my computer for driver software.
  9 click on Let me take form a list of drivers for devices on my computer.
  10 click the disk provided .
  11 click Browse.
  12. select the folder that you extracted the drivers you just downloaded in step 1. in.
  13 select the subfolder DRIVER_US (if you are in the United States), DRIVER_JP (if you are in the Japan) or DRIVER_ROW (if you are in the rest of the world), according to the region you are in.
  14 click on the Open button.
  15 click OK.
  16 select the driver that says Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card of the list (you may have to scroll down to see - it presents itself as second to the last in the list for me).
  17 click on the Next button.
  18 you will get a warning that the driver that you are about to install is not compatible with your hardware. Ignore the warning and proceed with the driver installation.
  19 restart your system if prompted to do so.
  20 your new driver should now be properly installed and the speed of your wireless connection in the order.

  III. If all else fails (or you've just had enough of boredom arising from the Dell Wireless 1510/Broadcom card)
  Replace the Dell Wireless 1510 problem with a card half-mini Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 A/G/N (use the bluetooth as the third antenna antenna or buy you an additional antenna for this). It works very well with the M17x, has better connection speeds to strips of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (this last has speeds really bad on the Broadcom/1510), it has not required to jump through the hoops to make it work properly and much more, it works with standard drivers and Intel maintains their drivers up to date. It is also much more reliable and faster as well, especially on the 5 GHz band, but also on the 2.4 GHz band.

  For more information on the subject of tweaking the settings of your Dell Wireless card, check out the official setting advanced properties: Dell Wireless WLAN Card User Guide.

  I hope that this guide will help you solve your Wi - Fi connection and allow you to enjoy speeds of complete wireless connection on your laptop Alienware M17x.

  Download the latest Broadcom driver as an alternative to the Dell a little older driver who may or may not solve the problems more. Some have seen more success than with the 5.60.18.8 drivers with it (you need to use the 802.11n network adapter driver rather than at the entrance to Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini Card in step II.15. the guide when you use this driver).

• Satellite L305D-S5892 - Windows has encountered a problem

  Hello

  I have an I have a Toshiba-L305D-S5892
  With Vista Home Prem 32

  I have a few problems and am currently blocked.

  Each problem below, is a problem that I met after taking a few steps.

  * The 1st problem *.

  A few hours ago my screen was frozen just after I tried to install this codec from microsoft, so the only option I had was to do a hard reset.
  When my computer back on, I received this message:

  Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.

  This error may be cause of disconnect a device removable storage such as an usb external drive while the appliance is in use or by defective as a hard disk hardware or the CD-ROM drive which is a failure. Make sure that all removable storage is properly connected, and then restart your computer.

  If you continue to receive this error message, contact the manufacturer of the equipment.

  File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

  Status: 0xc00000e9

  Info: An unexpected I / 0 error has occurred.

  I didn't have any usb device or removable in media.
  I can only access my utility series at the beginning, which is this menu: hand-Advanced-display-security-Boot - out

  * 2nd problem *.

  I opened my laptop and released the CD / DVD + RW, he started upward and now I get this message:

  For Realtek RTL8101E/8102E PCI - E Ethernet Controller v1.07

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable.

  PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM.

  No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key

  * 3rd problem *.

  I downloaded the NEOSMART repair Cd.

  Once I'm in the System Recovery Options, it tells me to select an operating system. However it has not traded. If I press drivers to load, then a message tells me to insert the media, and then select drivers. I almost 'ok', and then am taken to explore, when there are a few system files and files (all empty)?

  I'm confused... any help?

  Hello

  For me, it looks like a problem with the system eventually installed the HDD failures.
  Why?

  Due to the issue described in point 2.
  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable error is displayed because the phone didn t find the installed operating system and try to boot from LAN.
  This happens especially if the HARD drive was not recognized by the BIOS.

  My recommendation;
  Access the BIOS and check if the HARD drive is listed there.
  If this isn't the case, then you will need to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

  If the HARD drive is listed in the BIOS, then take a recovery disk and try to reinstall the OS again.
  If you have no recovery disc, then you can order it here.
  (I guess it's a Toshiba laptop model we)

  Hi Konyga,

  If you already have a warning on the internal HARD disk before Windows starts I would recommend sharing it and backup all data as quickly as possible.

  Is your laptop still under warranty?
  If Yes, you can get a new HDD to an authorized service provider. It would be free because it s covered by the warranty. All you have to do is contact with an ASP.

  On this path, it is not easy to say anything. Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, and then restart the device. The unit should be recognized and installed correctly.

  If you want to create data CDs using windows options please check disc recording option. Check the properties of the drive and check option under the recording tab.

• Explorer Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience into account only one user. Other user accounts properly.

  This problem deals with only one of my user accounts, where the user accounts function correctly.  When my wife logs in to his user account, it receives the error "windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience."  No ICONS or deskbar charge upward; However, my daughter and my user account functions properly.

  I did a system successfully restore to a previous point, but the problem remains.

  If you are still having problems with Windows Explorer crashing, I suggest to consider the suggestion offered by ShadowKat:

  "Hello people, it seems that some guys out there are still having trouble with this random crashes. I have the same problem, except that it happens every time that I go to my media files on my NAS. It seems that there is a bug or something with windows that causes this problem when you access a folder to storage media like mine, especially when the size of the file is very large (archive all my discs of film there for convenience and continuous =), about 1 TB of data). Windows capable of generating thumbnail images for your files and blocks the Explorer as well.

  I solved this by going to my computer > click the "Organize" (upper-left) > folder and search options > view tab check "Show icons, never thumbnails" option and uncheck the "display file on the photos." This prevents windows to generate images and solved the problem for me. Less visually flashy Yes, but at least not need a cloth and restart is).

• Windows has encountered a problem, try to copy a file... why?

  Windows has encountered a problem, try to copy a file... why?  MikeW

  There are many possible reasons.  What you have tried to do over time?  Is there additional information printed with this message?  A few possible reasons come to mind:

  • The file was opened exclusively by the operating system or another program
  • The full path to the file from the C:\... contain more than 256 characters
  • Permissions problem: you have read permissions for the file or permission in writing to the destination
  • The file entry or damaged directory disk sector. (Run the command chkdsk with the /R option to this address)
  • The file is larger than 4 GB and you try to copy it to a disk formatted with a FAT file system.

  I'm sure that there are more reasons, but need more information.
