I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. And it says that it cannot connect to my home network with my Belkin Wireless G adapter. It is the 4.xxx series (both desktops use this kind of adapter). Every other computer in my house connects just fine to the network: Macbook Pro, three Windows 7 laptops, and 1 Windows 7 desktop PC that's connected to a network adapter. Does it have anything to do with the fact that I upgraded my Windows Vista Home PC instead of doing a clean install
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium.My wireless connection has been working on and off for a while, but now it just refuses to work.The other computers in the wireless network are working just fine, so it must be definitely something in my laptop.I can detect the network just fine, with good signal.It says:
Media State: Enabled IPv4 Connectivity: No internet access IPv6 Connectivity: No internet access
Also, in the activity there are Bytes sent and received, but I cannot connect to any webpage either with Chrome of Firefox I'm using McAfee Security Center. I tried turning off the firewall, but it still doesn't work.
After upgrading to Windows 7 from Vista my IE 8 internet connection is very slow to completely freezing up. It will run fine for several minutes and then the slowdown occurs. I have to close with task manager, the "x" and "stop" do not affect it. When I go to Safe Mode with Networking IE 8 works very well --as it has done from day one with Vista. I have done searches about this and know others have had issues but there does not seem to a clear answer. I have Webroot with Spysweeper for anti-virus.
I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and now my Blu-Ray drive in my Sony VGN-FZ180E notebook pc will not work with Blu-Ray disks. Seems the device driver for the Mat****a BD-MLT-UJ-220 Blu-Ray drive has now become a standard Microsoft 6.1.7600.16385 driver from June 21, 2006. When I click to update the driver it says I have the latest.
I tried Sony's update for the Mat****a drive dated 03/04/2009 firmware update 1.04080723 but got an error message that their F/W loader does not apply to the DVD/CD-RW in my pc. Sony tech support is no help at all. They told me they don't support Windows 7 in my model. That response was a shock to me because it is a 2 year old powerful notebook that originally had Vista. I guess anybody that upgrades to Windows 7 voids the technical support they can get from the PC manufacturer. Any way to force new firmware onto the Blu-Ray drive?
I have a laptop with windows 7 home premium 64. I keep getting the option to upgrade to internet explorer 8. My system works very well now so my question is do I download internet explorer 8 for my system. Is it worth it or not.
I've tried upgrading my Vista PC twice. The installation looks like it's going along fine and after about an hour it seems like it finishes the "installing devices" part and when it restarts and comes back up it says that the installation failed and the previous OS will be restored. Anybody else having this problem?
AMD Phenom 8650
4GBs GSkill PC 8500 RAM
ASUS M3N78 Pro MB
XFX 8800GT video card
Vista Business with SP2 build 6002
I even disconnected the printer because it said the drivers wouldn't work.
Over the weekend I upgraded my desktop from Vista home to Premium to Windows Home premium. Since then I cannot maintain my connection to the Internet via the router system in my building, although that had never been a problem before. It also is not a problem when I plug in my laptop.So I start connected and then after a couple of minutes of use become disconnected from the Internet. I go to troubleshooting and it resets the connection, for another two minutes.The two error messages I receive are Local Area Connection does not have a valid IP configuration and the default gateway is not available.
All of the forums and postings say you can't upgrade from XP to Windows 7. I bet you can in the following scenario...
"Borrow" a Vista Upgrade Disk (any flavor above Basic). Upgrade XP to Vista w/o entering a key. Within the 30 day "keyless" grace period, upgrade Vista to Windows 7 using any flavor of Upgrade Disk entering the Windows 7 upgrade key. You may get some issues in the compatibility check but they can probably be worked around.
Since there are no Windows 7 Retail Disks to try this out on, this can't be verified.
This also assumes that there is something to be gained by upgrading from XP. My advice..... Do a clean install.
Tell me why this wouldn't work if you know that for sure.
Recently I upgraded my vista to Windows 7 and tried connecting it to my HD TV through the HDMI but the screen on my laptop goes blank (black) and no reception on the TV as well. Have an ATI Radeon 4500 Series adapter and HDMI used to work perfectly in Vista.
I am running Windows 7 Upgrade on a Dell Inspiron desktop. As of Thursday, June 16 after Windows Update and McAfee Update, I have had difficulty browsing the internet, alhtough I have internet connection. After hours of phone conversation with Dell and my IP, hours more of online chat, I am still not satisified anything has been corrected. I am currently connected to the internet through problem computer. Wired, DSL. I replaced phone and ethernet cable. Dell support basically useless as they want big bucks to fix problem and I can barely understand them. My IP spent 6.5 remotely accessing computer, eventually giving up, claiming that they had met their match. I have done two clean installs, but after Windows update, the problem returns. I clean installed a third time this afternoon. Downloaded MSE, updated and that went without incident. I have been browsing and researching this issue at many sites and forums, this evening. I hesitate to update Windows further, as I have finally returnd successfully to the internet. McAfee is not currently installed. I have of intention of installing it. I'll give MSE a try. Can anyone provide possible answers to what is causing the conflict (if that is what it can be called) with browsing after Window 7 update? The modem disconnected occasionally, but according to my IP is working properly. Computer appears to operate fine otherwise, just the browsing.
I am running windows 7 x64 on a core 2 quad. I can never seem to upgrade internet explorer 8 to 9. I keep receiving errors. I have deactivated all of the addons. My computer is completely up to date but for this one. I received error code:80246007 What should I do?
I did an image backup to move my programs from one hard drive to another, this worked fine. But when i re-sized the partition to give myself extra room in storage, programs stopped working from the ati graphics software to google chrome,etc. also i got the message that my system is low on RAM.
Recently upgraded my Vista Toshiba Laptop to Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit via the Microsoft website, and now my wireless internet is not working.
I am connecting wirelessly through a router. I ran the windows troubleshooter, which says it fixed the problem, but I still cannot connect either through IE or Firefox. I confirmed that my IP address is valid via the CMD box... however, when I test connect by using ping <default gateway> I get the error "syntax command is invalid".
All other laptops in my house are working fine, and when I took mine to a local coffee shop I connected with no issues.
I have a new laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I installed Ultimate and now there is no way to make an Internet connection. The button that had the symbol where you click and connect to a network with Wi-Fi has disappeared. I tried turning the router on and off as well as plugging the laptop into the router with a cable but neither have worked.
So I decide I should either reinstall Home Premium. I put in the CDs that had the drivers, but when I tried to reinstall I got the message "Fail to format disk 0 partition 3" .
Also I was wondering if I should try to install Windows 7 Ultimate again. My main purpose was to run Virtual PC for Windows XP so I could run 16-bit programs, but I would also like to know if I can simply install XP on a computer running Window 7.
I've upgraded my PC to Windows 7 Home Premium today (from Win XP Pro) and now the wireless network adapter does not work.
The adapter is a Netgear WG331 v1. I've tried downloading the drivers from the Netgear site - both those for the v1 and the newer drivers for the v3 and neither have fixed the issue.
I've used the Win 7 troubleshoot feature to install this driver (it is meant to be included within Win 7) but this does not work either.
I've also tried plugging the ethernet cable that normally goes directly into the back of my Netgear router into the PC, in order to provide Win 7 with internet access. However, this has not worked, with the connection apparently not recognised by the computer. I've tried to update the drivers for my PC's motherboard to remedy this, but have been unable to find any that are compatible with this version of Windows. The motherboard is MSI n1996.
Windows 7 troubleshooter shows missing drivers for the following: Multimedia Audio Controller (two of these), PCI Input Device, Ethernet Controller.
What I'm banking on is that an internet connection will enable Win 7 to locate drivers for all of these, but I am currently unable to make this happen. The internet connection is running fine and the wireless router is broadcasting the signal properly (I am accessing it right now via my laptop).

Recently I upgraded my OS from Vista 64 bit to Windows 7 64 bit. With the upgrade my graphics drivers were also updated. The problem is that I'm unable to watch videos or listen to music after about 2 hours of usage. Basically when my computer is turned on it works fine but after a few hours of usage all my video programs crash. I have to continually restart my computer every few hours in order to watch videos and listen to music. I've been googling for about 2 hours to find a solution, no results thus far.I thought it was a registry issue at first and I used a registered version of Registry Easy but the problem was not solved.
I have a Windows 7-64 box that works perfectly. Except that I cannot install any driver past 270.61 for my nVidia GTX-580.nVidia said this is a known problem with many users due to "The install failed because a control panel binary is failing to register because of a missing dependency." In other words, one of their installers/un-installers has removed a dll that's needed.I don't have a free week of my life to re-install everything on the box from scratch. It was suggested on the EVGA forum that I might:" in-place upgrade install of the OS. In other words, insert your OS disk. Start the install and select 'Upgrade'.I have high end software like Maya, CS6, SQL Server and many others (but no games, this is a business machine with no extra software).
I could be on my computer for hours at a time and after approximately 6 hours of being logged in, my internet browser just stops working. When I try going to a web page, it doesn't even try to load. It gives a very quick blink to the icon on the tab but that's it. I'm not receiving any windows errors. The way that I've been working around this problem has been to log off(or shut it down) then log back on, then I have a few more hours before it does it again. When the browser stops working, "bittorrent" still runs (a program that needs internet access). This isn't a recent problem that I'm having. This has been going on for almost a year now.I'm running Windows7.
my internet explorer was working a few days ago, then i logged off and logged back in and it wont display any pages and says if i would like to start a diagnostics test, and when i do it says everything is fine and it cant find the problem anywhere on the internet. But my internet explorer 64 bit works, my Normal Internet explorer or 32 bit is not. I am using XP not vista.
I don't know if anyone here can help me, but here goes a shot.For some months, I've had internet disconnections. The pattern is, for a week it will be fine, but then it'll disconnect, more often. It's temporarily fixed when a tech guy comes over and replaces the modem/checks wires/etc. So far, I've had 2 tech guys come over and they both checked the box outside my house and my internet dsl company, hickory tech, has replaced the port in their office last week on Monday, but I had disconnections on friday, saturday, and sunday.
I have been messing around trying to see what the minimal of services are that I can run on Windows 7. The machine is only used for connecting to the internet and office apps. I disabled network connections and network location awareness, the icon for network connectivity in the notifications area displays as not working but Bittorrent AND Firefox still work!
Just Installed Windows 7 But No Internet! My Network Shows that is connected "Local and Internet Access" but when i go to a browser it don't load any webpage i used IE8, Mozilla, GC neither worked. i disable the IPv6 still same problem..
As I said my pc connection is just freaking f***** up. It works on my other Pc's but not on my primary one. It works like this, it works for an hour, day maybe even a week but sometimes it just wont work, i plug the cable in it works for like 1 minute or two, sometimes an hour or maybe a little longer, but at the end it just dissconects from internet i replug my cable and again working or not for a couple of minutes, something has to be on my pc do anybody knows what, though my PC is optimized and very well secured and from time to time cleaned.
although Facebook runs ok ( I cant expand the chat though) I use WINDOWS 7 but when I want to use google it says ' interent has stopped working'. i have tried an earlier resolution but cannot find the RUN program- can you advice me where it is on the Start menu. Also, I have tried a RESTORE but it will not allow me to choose the time/date I want to go back to.
I cleaned up my disk[C:] using Disk Cleanup.I ticked all the items in Files to Delete section and clicked "OK".After that,when I opened Mozilla or IE9 it will stay on loading and will not connect.But If i open Chrome it will connect and I can surf.
I have two operating systems installed on my Sony Vaio VPCF115FG, Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
Wi-Fi is working fine on both, however, LAN connections are only working on Windows 8 but not Windows 7. It reads the LAN connection in Windows 7 but it does not actually connect to the internet. I honestly tried everything, including uninstalling the LAN driver and reinstalling it, no use.
Internet explorer has stopped working, Internet explorer is restarting.windows explorer has stopped working, windows explorer is restarting. I have emailed Microsoft 3 times and they have given me MANY things to try but I am a computer tech, so I had already tried them all.It is all over the internet so my computer details should not matter.It is ALL over the Internet about this problem and no one seems to know the answer.Of course, you can format but that is not a "fix" for it or how to stop it from happening.
I have a dell inspiron labtop with win 7. and i can use the number keys on keyboard whenever I use word or notepad or calculator, but once I access internet explorer I cannot use number keys. To insert any number on search bars or sign in logs I have to copy and paste from word.....
I do school online and I cannot stay connected to the internet with this computer. I have a TOSHIBA SATELLITE L675 with Windows 7 on it. I have done troubleshooting with Comcast who is the cable company I'm through and they said everything is fine and I should have no issues.When I am on the computer for a few minutes I get the status bar on the bottom with the yellow triangle and exclamation point. When I have windows troubleshoot it all it says is, DEFAULT GATEWAY NOT AVAILABLE.
