I have a wireless adapter in my desktop that connects by default on start up. I moved my PC somewhere I can run a cable from the router directly. Now my question is how do I make the Ethernet connection the default /start up connection, besides just taking the wireless adapter out of the pc.
View 3 RepliesOriginally I had a small solid-state hard drive on this set up. I added a non-solid-state hard drive later. Recently, my solid-state drive, the C Dr., became too full to upgrade certain software programs such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I purchased a second solid-state hard drive.I "mirrored" that second solid-state hard drive. To make sure that Windows was operating appropriately, I rebooted and hit F10. I then showed the new solid-state hard drive. Everything booted perfectly and the new solid-state hard drive was noted as the C Dr.When I rebooted into bios to change the hard drive boot order so that the new second solid-state hard drive would be the first in the priority, when I highlighted it and exited from it,it still showed the original solid-state hard drive as the first hard drive.I have never had this problem before. I now have to go into F10 every time I boot into my computer and highlight the new solid-state hard drive.

Installed 2 spare hard drives to alleviate crowding but problem continues. In troubleshooting have noticed the boot-up priority order keeps changing, so that the HDD group is not first, and also so the main - OS C: - hard drive is not on top of the list. Correcting these problems allows windows to boot up just fine, but then random crashes or bootup failures continue (constantly).Have taken everything out and reconnected, done a clean install from HP disks (reformatting and wiping the HD), system repair, virus scans, etc., yet problem continues. How can I fix the boot-up routines so the computer keeps them as they should be and doesn't keep rearranging them on its own thereby causing Windows to hang up?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen there is a Restart required after a software upgrade, the BIOS on my system (Win 7/64) will go to an external HDD (I have three for storage and backup). If I force it off and go into the BIOS on startup, it will show any of the other three HDD's in the boot priority. I reset the priority to the correct drive, save and start (repeat this process several times) and finally it will start from the correct HDD. I thought it might be the CMOS battery but with a new battery in place I still ran into this. This system (HP desktop) is less than a year old.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm currently running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit. I have two hard drives in this PC. One is an Intel SSD (on which my Windows 7 is installed and is the active partition), and a 1TB hard drive. This computer has been up and running for 1 1/2 years now without any issue.
Yesterday I updated Norton and ran its Registry Cleaner and might have started this problem.
So the problem is when I boot my computer, every thing is normal until before the Windows 7 logo screen. Prior to today, it just goes there without any issue. But today, I received an error: "CD ROM Boot Priority Error - No medium". I have an Asus motherboard, and it has the F8 option to select boot device. So I reboot my computer, hit F8 and select my SSD, and Windows 7 is able to boot correctly and without any issue. Then I check my BIOS to make sure the boot order is correct and it's set to
1-SSD
2-HD
3-CD Rom
But everytime it would display me that error. Yes, I have a workaround by pressing F8 during POST and I'm able to boot to Windows 7. But I'd like to get rid of this error. I ran the Intel diagnostic software on my SSD and the drive is okay and healthy according to it.
yesterday i installed windows 7 to my computer . and when i installed my graphics card driver , it only shows standard vga graphics adapter in Device manager. and in Display-screen resolution- advanced settings it shows :

I am trying to fix my friends wireless connection here, im a mac user and not very good on windows so i dont know what to do. I am following some you tube videos for help. As far as i know in 'change adaptor settings' you should be able to see your LAN and wireless connection to enable or disable but the thing is there is no wireless option in there? and it did used to work before.My friend told me that she used to have XP and another friend of hers upgraded it to windows 7 for her.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I tried to connect it wirelessly to the internet (using the wireless USB adapter --> Zonet ZEW2546), it cannot detect any single network available, even though the router is just one floor below the PCBut, when I tried to plug the USB adapter to the other PC, which runs on Win XP, on the same floor as mine, the adapter works perfectly, and I could surf the web from the Win XPWhat do you think the problem is? Hardware or driver?Btw, I have specifically looked for the newest driver for the USB adapter (which also supports win 7 64-bit) and installed it to the new system, but still to of no avail.

When I run a diagnostic, it says that my wireless internet adaptor has dropped the connection to the internet.I have checked if I am connected to the rooter and if a cable is bad. I have Norton and PC cleaner. It's not any kind of crimeware. This started after I had set up the wireless connection. It had worked well for about four months and then it started doing this.There is another laptop in the house and their wireless internet connection is fine.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi am having a weird wireless adapter problem. first of all the model of wireless adapter is tp- link ( tl-wn722n 150mbps ) and i am connected to tp-link router ( tl-wr740n ). so for the problem it's whenever i am surfing internet the wireless adapter just turns off.. it's either it's stuck on green light or no light ( it flashes green every 2 seconds when its normal ) sometime i can stay on the internet for 1 minute to 5 hours, but it's mostly few minutes. i noticed when i am reading news on internet or something like that it doesn't disconnect, but when i turn on Internet and watch a vid it suddenly drops signal. i have to unplug and plug it in again to get the connection back.
i have tried alot of things..i have changed ports,reinstalled all drivers in router, updated drivers, restetted settings to factory defaults, changing security, channels..nothing worked. the signal is pretty good i can still download with at least 1mbps of speed + the signal bar is full or 1 lower. another weird thing when i am downloading a file it doesn't dissconect i think it's just fine when i'm away from the computer.. but when i start googling,chatting on steam watching videos it just looks like it lost signal or something. also this is not the wireless adapter, because i had one before it started having same problem.. i bought this one at start it had same problem but it was 1 day, but after 2 weeks it started happening.. it's not overheating, i can be connected to internet in safe mode without a problem. also i am using a pc not laptop there are no viruses or malwares on my computer i have used avg and norton antiviruses for scanning, i also got 2 other computers one is loptop and other is pc none of them got such a problem.

It gets a limited activity logo over top of the connection. Today I tried plugging it rite into the router with a LAN cable and still, no dice.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI installed a new wireless adapter yesterday in the hope of increasing my internet speed. After installing the driver for the adapter I realised that my internet was no longer working. I can still see the connection but it is limited and doesnt allow me to connect to the internet. I also had a system up date the night before and hadn't been on the internet since that happened so am unsure if this has any part in it.I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for both the adapters i have to no avail, as well as plugging my pc into a laptop and using internet connection sharing which also doesnt work.If i run a network repair i end up with two problems found:
1)There might be a problem with the driver for the local area connection adapter
2)There might be a problem with the driver for the wireless network connection adapter They both have yellow signs with exclamation marks next to them.If i type ipconfig/all into the cmd line I get:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI basically copied 276 GB from my hard drive to another external backup drive that is connected via eSATA on my computer. My motherboard and the hard drive support SATA II. File transfer took, I don't know how long I'm guessing 1 1/2 hours.
During the file transfer, my whole system halted to a crawl, well, worse than that. According to my resource manager, the CPU usage wasn't too high, and the RAM usage was 100%, with 15%-25% of my memory being used for "Standby" memory. The Disk usage was 100%. I was unable to open or close applications while the file transfer was in progress. I couldn't even type.
Is there a way to set priority while you're doing file transfers, thus leaving resources open to still use your computer?
I recently have installed and uninstalled apache server in order to make it work, now I use XAMPP which SUPPOSEDLY starts the service manually when opened.
