Network Security Key Not Activate

Jun 28, 2009

I have a wireless network in my home. I just purchased a Sony laptop with Vista Home business installed. When I try to get in Internet Explorer, many times I am unable. My network security key seems to always default to another code and I have to retype mine in in order to get on the internet. What can I do to have my key code be permanent?

Default Security Policies, No Longer Activate An URL Received In An Incoming Email Directly

May 7, 2009

Recently some default security policies has been changed on my Vista, apparently as the result of upgrades to my system.

1: I can no longer activate an URL received in an incoming email directly but must copy the URL to the address bar in my Internet Explorer. This makes sense and I can live with that.

2: I discover that I can no longer open some of my word documents "created in an earlier version of Microsoft Office". The message refers to registry policy settings and the help system refers to a Microsoft knowledge base article 922850 that leads me nowhere useful.

Wireless Network Security

Mar 23, 2008

I have a Toshiba laptop that is connected to a wireless network in my home. My concern is security for this computer. I have been reading alot of articles on the internet concerning security, and most suggest several things, one being encryption, The others are enabeling static ip address and wireless mac address filtering. I contacted Verizon and asked them to help me secure this connection to my laptop and they enabled WEP and assigned a key. I then asked about the other two options mentioned above and they said all i needed was WEP enabled. Finally my question: Is that enough?

Cannot Save WEP Network Security Key

Jan 14, 2010

My WEP Network Security Key is not being saved in the Wireless Network Properties Screen Security tab. A couple of nights ago I used a motel wireless connection and I had to change some settings to make that work. Now I have changed everything back to my home router settings, the home connection is now fine, but I have to enter the home router Key every time I boot up even though I click on OK on the Wireless Network Properties screen Security tab. Is a configuration file holding previous, incorrect information that loads the wrong key on bootup?

"Security Network Key Incorrect".....but It's Not

Mar 23, 2008

I am having some serious problems connecting to my wireless router. I have wpa-personal security and I bring my laptop from my work to home. The problem is everytime I bring it home it takes AT LEAST 20 times to connect to my wireless router. Everytime it comes back "your security key is incorrect", but it is NOT.

I am also not mistaking my network for another.

However if I boot up the laptop and let it sit by itself for about 30 minutes, it will just connect fine.

I have 2 other laptops that connect fine to the router with no problems.

Device info
Router: SMC Draft 11n Wireless 4-port SMCWBR14-N

Wireless card: Broadcom 802.11n (driver version 4.82.28.56)

I am thinking that Vista is sending the network key in a different version or something that makes my router hesitate?.html

Re-install Not Activate

Mar 26, 2008

I had to reinstall Vista due to malware that I could not get off my computer. I could not do a repair, and now Vista is new on my system. The problem is that I now cannot activate it, and I get a notice that says that I need to enter a new number. I do not think that I need to, but I don't know how to reactivate. I called Microsoft, but the person (honestly) hung up on me.

Never Re-Activate After Installation

Jul 6, 2008

Never Re-Activate After Installation. if you have to reinstall Windows XP you normally will have to reactivate too. Well not anymore. Just copy wpa.dbl after you activated the first time. It is located in the WINDOWSsystem32 folder. Now if you reinstall Windows XP just copy the file back and you're up and running again.

Cannot Activate Ultimate On New Machine

Mar 23, 2008

I was using my purchased Vista Ultimate just fine on my first PC. But I just upgraded the motherboard and pretty much everything else. Now it's a new PC. So I took my Vista install CD, installed it on my new machine. Now I can't activate it. It won't let me saying it's already been activated. I recall someone told me that Vista activation is tied to the initial hardware you install it on. Is this really the case? If so, there has to be a resolution to this as Microsoft can't be that stupid to restrict you like this. I mean how am I supposed to upgrade my fing PC!? What do I do? I don't want to spend $60 on a support ticket. I tried to put in my PID which also now it's saying has expired!

Licensing Would Not Allow Me To Activate Both The X32 And X64 Versions

Sep 2, 2008

So I just upgraded from Windows XP to Vista x64. Since I got the retail packaged upgrade, I have both the x64 and x32 DVDs. I think I know the answer already, but, I take it that licensing would not allow me to activate both the x32 and x64 versions on the same PC, or seperate PCs for that matter?

WARNING! Do Not Validate Or Activate Yet

Aug 25, 2007

WARNING!! Vista Windows Genuine Activation (WGA) Problems: Genuine Microsoft Software Advantage. There is a problem with Microsoft's WGA servers and they are not allowing Vista to be activated as Genuine.

Do not do anything that would require you to reactivate or validate Vista. EX: Windows Updates, Hot Fixes, Activation, etc. Wait a week before trying again to give Microsoft a chance to sort through the problem. If you do not, you will be left with a Vista that is considered not Genuine. If your 30 day trial period is almost up, or you are already in Reduced Functionality Mode, then see: - Read Tutorial
