My network icon freezes on launch every now and then and when it does my PC is very slow it takes over 10 seconds to load a browser page, so basically the only solution is rebooting. is there any way to fix this?
I don't know much about computers, so when I tried installing iTunes, and the computer completely froze, I shut it off manually, and upon restart, accidentally set all of the BIOS settings for my motherboard to defaults, now when trying to boot my computer, it gets stuck at the loading windows screen, I already tried reinstalling Windows 7..

My 13 year old daughter Lucy has just dropped her Dell Inspiron 1545 from a height of 15 inches (she tells me) !!. When she turned the laptop back on the first thing she saw was the wording "Windows is loading files", she has never see this before. When she gets to her login screen all she can see is the wallpaper, no icons, no toolbar, the cursor is visable and can be moved via the mouse pad and the brightness controls work but none of the other keys seem to work. No matter what I do I cannot view the toolbar or anything else for that matter and Lucy's tears are starting to form a large pool
When I first turn on my computer, I click on my homepage icon to take me to my homepage. I only get the toolbar and I have to drag the rest of the page down. If I want to look at something else on that page, I have to pull that page down to read it. If I want to go to another site after pulling down my homepage, the other site will fully load. This started happening over a week ago.
I have a peculiar issue where I would need to have "Network and Sharing Center" open to be able to see that my my laptop's wireless connection. I would see the signal bar and also see the dreaded red x.Even when I have it open, I can see it refreshing each second; like its losing connection and reestablishing.My internet connection is working and has no issues.
Network and Sharing Center - Open Network and Sharing Center - Open and refreshed Network and Sharing Center - Closed
My Samsung RV520 came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit installed, i formated the HDD and Partitioned it into 2 Drives @ 250gb in a bid to dual boot XP&Windows 7.After succesful installation of XP-SP3, ive encoutered a problem with Windows 7 Ultimate (both 64x and 86x) installation as i booted from dvd and also via usb too it says windows loading files and stucks when the Windows 7 Logo is Loading. What could be the problem?
I have problem with my windows 7. When i try to open a directory on LAN, every now and then it begins to reload the directory. The upper bar begins to fill up with green color (in my theme of course), and it takes very long time, like 3, or 4 minutes. In the directory there is not much stuff, maybe 200 or 300 text files. And during this 3 or 4 minutes, the computer is almost blocked.
It is very slow, the browser can not connect to any site on internet, any programs that are working stalls, or becomes very slow. When the directory is loaded, things return to normal. And what is more, this problem does not occur with every directory on the LAN, only with some of them. What can be the reason and how can I fix it?
I completed an upgrade from XP to Windows 7 Home Premium. I have seen articles stating that there should be by default a Vista style network icon in the notification area. My install has no such icon. On XP I could go to network and click/check "Display Icon". How can I add the network icon, what am I doing wrong?
There is a nice range of icons for windows 7, but there were a few that I really liked in windows vista ultimate that I don't seem to be able to find.
One of which that I can remember is the network icon, in vista you could right click, change icon... and I remember being able to select an network icon that was like two monitors stacked on top of each other creating 4 montiors total, and at the bottom was just like any other vista-windows 7 network icon, a connector tube.
I am unable to find this icon to change the desktop icon for "network" in windows 7, does anyone know the icon I am talking about, and any way to download or obtain it in some other way to use?
So recently my computer wouldn't start up and was saying "BOOTMGR IS MISSING | PRESS CTR+ALT+DEL TO RESTART" and then I just left the computer on for a couple days and forgot about it. And just an hour ago I started it up again just seeing if it would work, and it did. It started up and I was really happy. But I got a D-Link wireless network adapter that I connect to the tower because I can't get an Ethernet cable to reach up stairs, So I have to connect to my wi-fi. BUT when I click on "Connect to a network" nothing happens. I can't Set up a new connection or network, and when I click on the network icon on the bottom bar nothing happens. I do NOT have the Windows 7 Ultimate Repair DVD. So I can't use that.
Every time after I install an anti-virus program my network icon goes missing, I can't switch it on also under the customize screen, option is grayed out. It does the same thing with AVG and Kaspersky. It is doing this with build 7048 and 7057, but not on 7022!
i set up an OU in AD that contains shortcuts to various shares on various servers. instead of having 10+ shortcut icons on their desktops, my w2k users could access all network shortcuts from one shortcut. plus, when the location of a share moves to a different server, i don't have to delete old shortcuts and create new ones on 30+ desktops. in xp, the directory icon went away so i couldn't create a shortcut to the OU. i discovered copying the dsfolder.dll icon to xp fixed the problem. can a desktop shortcut to an OU be achieved in Windows 7?
I'm connected wirelessly with no connection issues, but the system tray icon is the one for a LAN connection with a red x on it and not the wireless icon. I noticed if I flip the switch to turn of the networking adapter it reverts to a wireless icon but of course with no connection.
I have installed Windows 7 Manager from Yamicsoft, I made some changes and its removed the network and icon from my tray?? I didnt choose those option in the program, I have checked and the options to show tray icons is enabled - it is in Windows 7 too, I've also tried enabling the network icon through GPEDIT to no avail - also tried following some advice from microsoft website which involved deleting two reg entrys and reloading explorer.exe - still no joy. The network (wifi) still works. I did make a restore point before I ran W7M but would like to try and fix without restoring.
HP, win. 7, IE 9, 1 1/2 T. Every time I update windows, the network icon appears. Windows won't allow it to be removed. I usually restore to former day, but am tired of dealing with it. How does it come off the screen?
I recently installed Bluesoleil 8.0.356.0 on my pc and my network icon gives me a red x symbol even though I'm connected to a network or if there are networks available. I tried uninstalling and rebooting, but no luck.
Somehow I managed to display the "Network" icon (not shortcut) on the desktop, but now I couldn't remember how to do it again on another 7127 installation.
I currently have two Windows 7 Home Premium computers on a small home network, and I would like to be able to change the folder icon of one computer from the other computer on the network. Normally, if I go into properties of a folder, I am able to change the icon. But I noticed that this option disappears for folders in shared drives on the network.
I noticed this phenomenon also occurs in previous versions of Windows as well.
A few weeks ago I posted that I was having Network issues. There would always be a yellow triangle on the Network Icon in the System Tray but it never stopped me from connecting to the internet. Once connected the triangle would go away and everything was OK. Once you reboot the triangle is back, etc, etc...I thought the "Rename Homegroup" tweak was causing the problem because it seemed to start on the reboot after that. I WAS WRONG!! What I forgot was that I also Enabled NIS 2010 "Privacy Control" before the reboot.I have just disabled "Privacy Control" rebooted, and everything is now OK.I tested the theory by Enabling "Privacy Control" reboot back again, Disable, reboot gone again.
When I configure my lan adapter it's connect successfully. I found my workgroup pc . But problem it's showing as a "unidentified network" and a yellow sign is showing on the network icon.
Let me start by saying that both my LAN and WAN (Internet) connections are working perfectly. I get full speed on the Internet, and the 4 machines in my house, 2 XP, 1 Vista, and this one which is Win 7, are networked and seeing each other without any issues. I even have my Canon MX860 connected to all machines wireless, although Windows 7 cannot use it because Canon has not released a network driver for Windows 7 yet and the Vista driver doesn't work. I use it connected via USB on the Windows 7 machine.
I have cable Internet and I am using a DLINK DIR-655 Wireless router. The main PC with the issue is wired, the others are wireless.
For some weird reason, there is a red X on my network icon. I have been unable to figure it out and as I said there are no problems with the network at all.
I am using Windows 7 RC 7100.
Has anyone else seen this issue? If so, did you find a fix?
So I had to reinstall the drivers for my WIFI adapter Netgear WN111v2 after doing so I am now having a problem with the network icon reading things wrong, I bugs me A LOT does anyone know how to fix this. I have reinstalled drivers twice with no success.
I have Windows 7 ultimate x64. When I installed it and system started first time, everything was fine, network was working great and I had internet access. After first restart and every time I start my computer I get very serious problem with network! First 5 seconds it is ok but then I get yellow exclamation mark on network icon in systrey and it says no internet access(!) also "Local Area Connection Status" looks like this:
after this my suffer starts: several network Disabling/Enabling, cable Unplugging/Plugging, modem reseting and after 10-15 minutes I get internet access...
I have just installed windows 7 home on my core i5 2500k machine and everything was working fine, but the windows network icon on the task bar shows I have no connection even though I am connected to the internet and everything works fine.
