DVD Was Incompatible With Vista

View 9 Replies View RelatedWireless Router And Vista: No Networks Available
Mar 23, 2008Just got a new Dell Desktop with wireless card pre-installed. I have an existing wireless router that all three of my other machines (XP) can see and connect to just fine. No matter what I seem to do, the Vista machine tells me there are no networks available. I've tried re-booting, re-freshing the Network list, waiting and re-freshing, turning off various automatic features, etc. Nothing seems to work and I need to connect to the Internet to update the PC with the numerous security patches Vista needs when first
starting up.
Router Shuts Down In Sleep Mode Vista 64
Oct 5, 2009I have our wireless router hooked up to my computer at home. When I shut down my computer, the router stays up and working fine, allowing our wireless laptops access to the internet. The ethernet light stays lit and everything is fine. However, when I put my computer in sleep mode - something I would prefer to do rather than shutting it down when I'm not using it - the ethernet light goes out and the laptops can't connect to the internet. It even says no network connection is available. Does anyone know if there is something I can do? Change a setting in Vista or in the system BIOS ? Is it something to do with the router? The router is pretty old - Actiontec (GT704WG) but we've never had any problems with it. I'm running Vista Home Premium 64 bit on a custom built system with an E8500 @ 4.0 Ghz and 8 megs of RAM Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-X48-DS4

Mar 30, 2009New Toshiba A300 laptop with Vista Business pre-installed. Wlan drivers were not installed or supplied which I thought odd but went to Toshiba site and downloaded and installed driver for:"wlan-intel-3945-4965-v1200730-vista32.zip". From the start connection was very hit and miss, if I persevered and kept trying diagnosing and repairing the connection it might connect or might not. Now it won't connect at all. From previous experience I knew that a misconfigured firewall could cause problems so I uninstalled the trial version of McAfee and turned off Windows firewall, I intended to install Zone Alarm anyway. Also disabled router firewall. No difference at all.

May 26, 2009I know how to get Incompatible games to work is the simple answer. I will be here during my time on this forum correcting any issues for games. Dungeon Keeper is one of my all time favourite games, took me about a week to find this fix, been working on it really hard. You don't need DosBox, or Virtual Servers etc, just Windows Vista, and Dungeon Keeper. I am at work at the moment, so I can't post what to do to make it work, but will do shortly, on my break or something.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIncompatible Display Adapter Has Been Disabled
Dec 30, 2007Setup: New Vista PC (bargain-rack special - a bare-bones office machine with Vista Home Basic) has a built-in VGA adapter. I want to do the two-monitor setup, so I plugged in my ATI video card as the second video driver. Problem: When I boot the machine, I get the following error: Incompatible display adapter has been disabled. At least one display adapter on the system has been disabled because its driver is not compatible with the driver for the VGA adapter.
What I find odd, though perhaps it is not odd to you, is that the internal driver was the one disabled - the ATI card is now defaulted as the main (and only enabled) driver. In Control Panel, it does not say that the drivers or controllers are disabled, but instead that there are problems. Clicking on Troubleshoot does nothing at all.

View 9 Replies View Related, XP And Router Don't Work
Mar 27, 20093 PC's (Windows XP Home, Windows XP Pro and Vista Home Premium The two XP's work flawlwssly with simple file sharing and printer sharing - the Vista has a problem. All I care about having work, for now, is simple file sharing with no user restrictions and printer sharing.All Workgroups are the same. The two XP's use Zone Alarm The Vista uses the built-in Microsoft firewall Some login Usernames are different on the three machines. The router is a Linksys WRT160N
Situation: The XP's are fine. The Vista shows the networking map OK (I think). The reason I say I think is that, under the router icon is a switch icon. I have no switch that I know of. At least the Vista machine recognizes that there are three machines in the network. Internet works fine on all three machines. However, in Explorer, under Network, on the Vista machine, only the Vista machine shows up with its' shared folders.

View 4 Replies View RelatedCan't Working Router
Mar 23, 2008I posted this message to forum sometime back have been using Vista home edition on a Toshiba laptop for almost 6 months now without any issues when suddenly since last couple of weeks I am having networking problems. Suddenly in the middle of work the connection would be lost. I am using wireless adapter. So I investigated the issue but could not find anything conclusive. When this happens I am unable to ping my router. Initially I suspected my cable modem / router but that is fine beceuase I have another laptop that works fine when this happens.
I now suspect that it is to do with a problem for which a hotfix is available. Unfortunatley when I filled out the form I received an email from MS support that the hotfix is not available!!! Not sure where to go from here. Why write a KB article with a dangling carrot when it leads to a dead end :-)
Monitor Router Activity
Mar 23, 2008We are using Netgear Router in most offices in Northern California offices. Most are Net gear router modele MR814 & WGR614, 4 wired ports and 1 wireless port; and WG311 wireless adapters. Is there anyway to monitor the router activity? Anyway to see which port (wired and wireless) is active and network traffic. Also, want to make sure nobody outside our approved users is using the wireless ports? We know about the router log in the router set up page (from all ports, all mixed), howing what URL is contacted and time stamped.

Physical Router Address
Mar 23, 2008I live in a congested area. On one glorious morning my fiddling around with the wifi card allowed me to discover that I was able to access a 54g Wifi (lynksys) Internet connection. My experience with high speed was null so you could imagine my delight. Prior to this I was using "Netzero" which is like being homeless. My Question is- How can I look up the physical Router address that is providing me access? Its important to me because I could be sniped off easily for many reasons and to share the cost with a good neighbor is the moral thing to do. One exception is, if it???s the Hotel near-by.
View 9 Replies View RelatedConnection To Router But Not The Internet
Mar 23, 2008I am having problems getting a wireless internet connection for a friend who has just bought a new laptop with Windows Vista. He connects through a Netgear, wireless router however the network connection on the laptop shows as local connection ok however there is limited access due to no internet connection. The adapter has a router assigned IP address of 192.168.0.3. The gateway, DNS server and DHCP server address all show the 192.168.0.1. I have connected to the admin console on the router and the router has been assigned a public address and DNS address from the ISP (AOL ADSL).
I disabled encryption and mac authentication incase for some reason this would be causing it but its still the same. He has a desktop PC hard wired to the router and this connects without any problems. The IPConfig of the adapter is much the same as the wireless adapter on the laptop with exception of the IP address which is 192.168.0.2. I can get a connection to the internet if I hard wire the laptop however when connecting wireless it once again gets a local intranet connection but no internet. I can ping the local network and the gateway but nothing beyond the gateway.
I have done the usual things in the way of power cycling the router/modem and disabling/repairing network connections etc. I recall having the same problem around 2 months ago for another friend. They were using a cable modem with an Actiontec router. I did as I did above and even tried 2 different routers with no change. My XP laptop connects fine.

Apr 14, 2008trying to configure the network settings by adding a second static IP address, so that it can see with the other pc's in the network. The network infrastructure is set up as the following: there is a DSL router in bridge mode, so all pc's connected to the network have a direct connection to the internet, and get their ip address from the ISP's DHCP server. Also the other pc's (with XP and linux) have a secondary IP address set up e.g. 192.168.1.10 so they can access a NAS also hooked up to the network, but not connected to the internet.
