When I try to enable ICS there is no sharing tab present on my ethernet connection. The help says that this happens when you only have one network interface. However, I have two interfaces, the ethernet adapter and the Bluetooth adapter. How do I get ICS enabled?

When connected to the network, I can not send problem Reports, the Help has Xs through the images, and I can not connect to other shared devices. I can go online to bing.com and several other websites. But I can not download java or flash updates, it says I do not any an internet connection. I also can not download any new Microsoft updates. If I install IE8, then the browser can no longer go online. AVG is the only ant-virus installed, and the firewalls are turned off. The machine can not be formated and reinstalled

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe information you've sent me, it looks like your network stack is being reset approximately every two hours. As the stack is rebuilt, various pieces of information about network become available over time. As each piece becomes available, NIS it treats the new result as a new network, that's why you get a few network discovery events over a relatively short period of time. It also explains why you see occasionally slow network traffic; the network stack is being rebuilt.What I don't understand is why the network stack is being reset. This doesn't seem like anything malicious but may be due to faulty hardware on your machine or, more likely, some scheduled program or task running on your machine. It could also be due to plugging certain devices into a USB port.I have NOTHING plugged into usb, no self installed software running and this is a 3 month old machine. The only thing plugged in (through ethernet) Is my vonage V-Portal wich I use for voip
after the RAM problems i posted earlier, i got these:

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0x0000000A
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0x000000D1 ataport.sys
and this one was just plain scary: a driver has overrun a stack based buffer. this overrun could potentially allowa milicious use to gain control of this machine 0x000000F7. if anyone knows a fix for this (even if it means i have to reformat)
i have my rocket dock.. working fine... and my stack docklet working fine..(not yet rebooted). but after i rebooted my PC and my rocket dock runs on start up.. my stack docklets disappears.... i dont know why. the only thing left is the stack icon but doesn't contain anything.
i already search over the net... and some said "security.....users.... full control..." i done it already but still... everytime the rockdock quits and eopens.... the stack docklets are gone.

Is any one having any problems with Bluetooth(HP9000 notebook) connecting to the Motorola RAZR v3i cell phone? Is there a new driver for Vista SP2. Do I need a new driver? Until recently(SP2 or update for Motorola phone tools) it all worked fine. I have gotten new software, uninstalled and reinstalled several times and still when the notebook boots the cell phone go's crazy(The bluetooth on the cell phone should not activate until I start the controlling software which is Motorola phone tools).
Even with the problems the connection still allow me to transfer data and manage the phone directory using the notebook/cell phone bluetooth connection. On the cell phone the bluetooth earpiece works fine. Is any one else experiencing such a problem??
if there is a reliable 64 bit vista driver for bluetooth 2.0 EDR? I seem to find information on > problems with bluetooth and vista 64 bit, but cannot find a clear answer if there is actually a Vista 64 bit driver.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but I thought I'd post it anyway. I recently upgraded to Vista Home Premium 64. It's not an upgrade disk but a full version on a DVD with SP1 (so I upgraded in the sense that I'm not using XP anymore). There are a couple of annoying things that keep happening.
First, Vista isn't recognizing USB devices, specifically my Ipod, my thumb drive, and my external HDD. They don't even come up in Windows or Disk Management. It's like they're connected (my external HDD has the power led on, but no activity) but invisible. I can't figure out any way to force Windows to see them. Is there any way to do that? Is there a problem with my USB drivers?
The only surefire way to get my Ipod recognized is to attach it first, without opening any other programs, after a start-up or a re-start. If I start my computer and work on it for a while and decide to attach a USB device, Windows doesn't see it at all. Obviously, re-starting each time I want to plug in a plug-n-play device is unacceptable.
I have read in previous posts that the USB parts are not available in a VM. I am wanting to run XP in a VM on a Vista computer, but I have a USB keyboard and mouse. If I understand the previous posts, I will not be able to access these devices. Is this true? If so, is there a way to work around this (besides having two KB's and mice)? What I want to accomplish is to be able to utilize XP and Vista on the same machine. From what I have read in previous posts, it seems that a VM is a better solution than a dual boot. I am just looking for a way to run older apps on my Vista machine (Office Pro XP, Office Pro '97, and some old games from the as far back as the W98 days [and yes all software is legit]). So far I have been able to run all the W2K apps that I want, but I am just starting to move from W2K to Vista (Basic and Home Premium [two different computers]), and I foresee some problems in my future. BTW, I am able to run the old W98 apps/games on W2K by using the Compatibility tool.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI can't get WFS to successfully use the fax modem on my mobile phone over Bluetooth. The modem and Bluetooth connection are working fine outside WFS and I can successfully connect to a VPN over the internet using the mobile phone's modem via Bluetooth. I just can't think what could possibly be the problem. Has anyone else tried to set up their mobile phone as a fax modem over Bluetooth?
By the way, my carrier is T-mobile. I have already called them and they have confirmed that fax and data is enabled on my account. I'm using a Nokia 6233 but I don't think that should be relevant because I can already us the modem over Bluetooth to connect to the internet.
I am having a problem with Vista. Last time I shut my computer down, my mouse worked fine. Now it is gone. I normally use a regular Dell USB mouse. I tried a PS2 mouse that that isn't recognized at all. So, I plugged the USB mouse back in. The computer recognized that I plugged something but claimed it couldn't find a driver for it. I read that Windows Update KB938371 but I am unable to uninstall it and a system restore doesn't fix the problem.
As an additional note to this problem: for the past couple of days ANY USB or firewire drive that I plug in (even ones that I have used before) will not work. As with the mouse, the computer recognizes that I plugged something in but it can't find a driver for it. Anybody have a solution for this other than reinstalling Vista? Having no mouse and no connection to a external hard drive is quite an inconvenience. Even if I DID want to back my stuff up and reformat my computer, I don't dare do that because I have nothing to back it up on besides a bunch of DVD's.
I've been experiencing this problem for approximately six months on and off. Intermitently, when I go to attach a USB device (memory stick or ipod) I get the pop up "USB Device Not Recognized." At this point, nothing I attach will be recognized
In the Device Manager whatever I attach is listed as an Unknown Device. I check the Properties and get the advice "No drivers are installed for this devices" I've tried right clicking and Updating the Driver Software but get the response: "Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date". I check the Properties again and still get the advice "No drivers are installed for this devices".........................

View 7 Replies View RelatedA friend of mine gave me a his HP notebook which recently developed a serious problem. It's an HP Pavilion DV6305 that uses an Nvida chipset and AMD cpu and runs Vista Home Basic. When he first bought it, I set it up for him with Eset's Nod32 anti-virus. The problem appears to be that at least 10 devices appear to be unable to load the associated device driver and in each case (looking in device manager) the error message appears to be: Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (code 39)Googling on this error only turned up dozens of references to people having this problem with their CD / DVD drive but nothing like what is going on here.
Of course my first suspicion was a virus, since this seems to be the case with so many people having problems these days. I scanned with the installed Nod32 V4.0.x and it didn't find anything. Of course not that that completely rules out a virus. Next I tried running a disk test on the boot drive with both "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" and the system log seems to indicate that the hard drive is clean with no problems.
The devices that are disabled include both the Ethernet and wireless controllers, the USB controllers, the HP quick Launch Buttons, the audio controller, etc. The only way to get files onto the machine is by burning them onto CD, since the CD / DVD drive is one of the few devices that appears to be working. I've tried downloading drivers for the Nvidia chipset and networking controllers, putting them on a cd and trying to reinstall them but while the installation appears to complete without errors on reboot the device still doesn't work properly. Does anyone have any ideas what I could do to fix this problem? If this is a virus, any ideas on how to remove it since the installed scanner can't detect it?
I have a problem with my recording devices. In the window only one microphone. I need realtek digital input and line in. But I don't know how I can get it.

View 6 Replies View RelatedThe update to Bluetooth in SP2 fixes it: now it does not work. Networking has been improved as well: I have been staring at the spinning circle for more than 5 minutes while trying to change sharing permissions on a folder. Actually I am not changing sharing, because according to Vista the file is already shared with everyone. The problem is that no one else on the network can see the file.
Microsoft has also addressed shutdown: now my laptop hangs and will not shut down unless I manually kill the power. I have migrated one of my main machines to Windows 7 already: Win7 appears to be the real deal. How, after all these years, can Microsoft still turn the offal that is Vista into an ever worse compilation of woe and misery? I sure hope the uninstall works: if I have to reformat and reinstall I am moving to the Win 7 RC.
I have a Dell XPS M1330 laptop with Dell TrueMobile 355 Bluetooth. Recently my computer has had problems with detecting any Bluetooth device I've tried to connect. I was wondering if anyone knew what I should do. The only thing I've tried is uninstalling and reinstalling all the drivers

It worked for the 1st year just fine but recently i have absolutely no connection with my bluetooth headphones.

For some reason none of my bluetooth devices (my cell phone, and the mouse) will be discovered. I've set the bluetooth settings to "Discoverable" etc., and the correct services are enabled. Nothing comes up on the "Add a wireless device" page. I don't know what I have to do to get my devices to be discovered. I just saw that on my Device Manager, Bluetooth Remote Control, Bluetooth Hands-free Audio, Bluetooth Hands-free Audio., and Bluetooth Stereo Audio all have the yellow exclamation point on their icons.
