Since replacing Windows 7 Release Candidate (build 7100) 32 bit with Windows 7 Professional 32 bit purchased from windows7.digitalriver.com I no longer have Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter displayed in my list of network connections. The computer I use is a HP Pavilion dv6439nr Notebook PC. I did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional.Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter had been displayed in my list of network connections when I had Windows 7 Release Candidate (build 7100) installed. Although it sounded interesting I was not all that concerned about vwifi because there seemed to be almost no information about actually using it. Then I found out about the app Connectify and I would really like to use it.I have used Driver Magician Lite to backup both my Windows 7 Release Candidate drivers and my Windows 7 Professional drivers. Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter is included in the Release Candidate drivers, but is not present in the Professional drivers. I have tried right clicking on the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter setup file netvwifimp.inf and selecting Install but I get an error message that says "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation"Windows 7 Release Candidate was supposed to be the Ultimate Edition of Windows 7, but from what I have read vwifi is supposed to be in all Windows 7 versions. Perhaps vwifi was disabled in my particular 32 bit student edition, which seems unlikely BUT not impossible considering that Windows games were disabled by default. Perhaps it's a driver problem, but why would the Release Candidate have worked but not the Professional version now.

I have - A Laptop with Windows 7 UltimateA Linksys Wireless Router with ports which are all Ethernet ports (i.e. no USB ports).A Tata Photon Plus (which is basically a Wireless USB Modem)I have been trying to setup a wireless network to have my handheld devices connect to the internet.I have - Connected the Ethernet port of my laptop to one of the Ethernet Ports of my Wireless Router.I have connected my Wireless USB Modem to my laptop (as my Router does not have a USM port).My Questions While I have been able to setup the Wireless Network, the Network shows "No Internet Access". Can someone help me with how to bring in Internet to the Wireless Network? I am sorry but I don't have enough networking acumen which would enable me to do this without assistance.
I installed all the drivers available from the Gigabyte website for some reason the wifi function simply does not work. Also, the screen plugged into the 7950 works fine but the other screen connected into the motherboard gets the message "no signal detected".
i have a samsung galaxy ace. my laptop is accessing internet through wifi from my friend's building. So can i access internet in my samsung galaxy through wifi from my laptop? if yes..how?
I just got a computer for free, a Dell Studio 1555. When I got it, it would try to boot, then come to a screen that said that bootmgr.exe was missing. Sometimes I got a message that said something like mpio.sys was corrupted or missing. I have a Win 7 disk, so I put it in and tried to repair the installation. Each time I ran it, it said that the repair had failed. I tried to reinstall windows 7, and It made it to the first restart in the process. It showed the "Starting Windows" screen, but the colors of the windows logo never appeared, then I got the missing bootmgr screen. I decided to install Ubuntu and see if that worked, and it did (I installed it alongside the Windows installation). It was Ubuntu 10.04. I thought, "OK, so i'll just use this as a Linux machine"...and I decided to go back and reinstall so that I could use the entire hard drive. It never worked correctly again. Each subsequent time that I installed Ubuntu, I was told something along the lines of "Gnome Power Manager did not install correctly" and got a slow and choppy Ubuntu installation.Tried to install 11.10, and it failed completely. I opened the Ubuntu live from my usb drive, and opened the disk utility. I now cannot format, reformat, partition, or delete partitions on the drive. Is all of this just a case of a hard drive on its last legs, or is there something else going on here?
Ok i have windows 7, Recently i have found out that i have a full list of errors that happened pretty much overnight:Here's the list 1. I can't go onto Control Panel It say's " This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator" I AM THE ADMIN.. I am the only account too. 2. My Task bar is missing, When i go ctrl-alt-del i see no option to open up my task bar. [FIXED] 3. I cant RIGHT click on anything on my desktop, as well as my folders and stuff. Although i can right click while playing games or browsing the internet, so my mouse is definitely not broken. So u must be thinking, this guy has a virus for sure... Well if i do have a virus it must be made by ******* Bill Gates. Because i can't find it.I have the FULL version of Trend Micro Cillin as well as Norton 360, I've just recently downloaded Malvare Bytes, and that couldn't find anything as well. I've done a full system scam on both anti-virus programs, i see no viruses. I did get a virus a week ago, but Norton quickly picked it up, I'm thinking it may have changed a few settings in my computer before i managed to delete it.
My daughter bought a Compaq notebook at Christmas with Widows 7 already installed and everything worked fine. At the weekend she downloaded Service Pack 1 and Broadcom. Now she cannot access the internet via out TalkTalk Router (Thomson). If I do a system restore to prior to the download it works again until she powers off the notebook. On powering back on she cannot get back onto the internet. My PC is connecting fine to the router, as is her old laptop. Obviously we cannot continue doing system restores everytime she wants to access the internet, and I cannot understand how the problem keeps manifesting itself after everytime she boots up the notebook.
I need to connect my Packard Bell Easynote running windows 7 to the internet via its wifi adapter, but it doesnt appear that i have the correct driver.
Just installed winn 7 on my think pad t42 laptop and yes woks very well and is surprizingly fast but no wifi driver were installed. So need driver that can be down loaded to a disk.
I have been using my dell laptop since one year with Windows 7 installed on it.today suddenly while working My wifi Internet connection stopped working.I tried to connect But it didn't and said to trouble shoot .I did it bug still the prob Is not resolved.it sonetimes connect itself and when I start browsing after s while It disconnects again.same wifi connection is working perfectly
Recently installed the Win 7 x64 RC and it does not recognize my wifi card (Abit Airpace Wi-Fi Wireless Network Adapter), as in it does not show up in the device manager. It does work in vista x32, and also worked in vista x64 when I had it. I've installed the motherboard drivers to see if that would effect anything, but not change. I tried installing the software that comes with the wifi card, and it does not find the card either (no updated drivers are available on the manufacturers website either). I've searched other forums, and it seems others may have had similar problems, but they were able to get windows to recognize their card after shutting down, switching off the PSU, waiting a few minutes and rebooting. This has not worked for me. Another note, in an earlier beta of win 7 x64, the card was recognized and the drivers installed, but it would blue screen each time it connected to the internet or I tried to open a browser.
I've just installed a wireless PCI adaptor (Tenda W322P 11N) in my desktop PC but I can't 'enable' it - every time I double click it starts to enable then stops and leaves it disabled with no warning or error messages.
The system is definitely seeing it as it's listed in Device Manager, and if I bring up Network Connections (using ncpa.cpl) it's listed and shown as disabled. Why would windows stop it from being enabled??
I've tried downloading new drivers from the manufacturers site in case the drivers on the disk were old - no difference. I uninstalled it and removed the drivers and then re-booted so windows would use it's own drivers - no difference.
I have windows 7, I am trying to configure the WIFI, I have wifi connection which having WEP with shared key authentication, that option I not found in windows 7. I have manually create a new profile and choose shared security option and WEP and I enter the my security key but I was not able to connect with wifi.
I have a Linksys WRT54GS that I bought at least 6 years ago. It has worked flawless from the start so I never had to learn anything about wireless networking. That is until now.I just built a new system with a clean install of Windows 7 which I have been running since the final public release in July of 2009. At the same time I took my old box, formatted the HD and put a clean install of XP on it. It has a Linksys WMP54GS wireless-G PCI adapter (w/ speedbooster). Both of these boxes were painless to get online with after the builds. However........now I can no longer access my network with my cellphone and my daughter can no longer connect with her laptop. The network shows up on the phone and the laptop but when trying to connect it won't. Not a thing had been changed on the router. Password is still the same etc. I did go ahead and do the firmware update though. The last time I updated it was 2007 and there had been 8 updates since then. As I said all had been fine so I never thought about checking for updates.
What has me puzzled is that the wireless XP box connects just fine but no matter what the phone and laptop won't. Now this may be a really stupid question but seeing as this is a new Windows 7 install on a new computer (assembled from a Newegg bundle deal) do I need to install the Linksys software CD? Windows 7 Seems to have already configured everything for the network and drivers. I'm hesitant to run the CD because I don't want to risk hosing something in the process and having no internet at all.It's not critical to have the other devices be able to connect but it would be nice to have full access like I used to
I have recently bought a new pci wifi lan card (Ralink rt61 turbo) and have plugged in and installed drivers. Initially the drivers the company I bought it from told me to install didn't work, but after some googling found the correct drivers and downloaded from Ralinks website. However these didn't work either.
When using the Ralink wireless utility it says that the card is disconnected, however in device manage it is both connect and the correct drivers installed and everything is perfectly fine.
I ignored the wireless utility and hoped that windows 7 would still be able to use the wireless card as past experiences have shown to be true. This case however I get nothing. Windows 7 says that the wireless card is experiencing problems, it doesn't show any of the routers that should be shown.
how to do this on Windows Vista/Windows 7. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish. I want to stream some of my video files from a PC to my iPad. I can do this using a third party app that runs on my iPad that can connect to a computer via a WiFi network. I managed to do this quite easily on Windows XP and I can stream AVI files from the "C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocuments" folder. All I did is this -- I right-clicked on the Documents folder there and selected Properties, then Sharing tab and set "Share this folder on the network", named it and OK'ed it. After that I can easily see that folder from the app running on my iPad and stream files out of it.
Windows Vista and Windows 7 aren't as easy to set up and they don't have the same controls as Windows XP.
trying to get my wifi working on my Windows 7 x64 computer.
This includes buying two new wireless adapters (which totals the amount to 3) and a week ago, a new motherboard to see if that could sort the problem out.
None of the 3 adapters have been working properly at any point before buying the new motherboard. After that, I actually got the latest addition to function for a couple of days now - that is until I updated to Service Pack 1.nothing works.I tried uninstalling the service pack again... which did the trick.So I can't update my windows if I want a functional computer.Ive found numerous people (around these boards as well) having problems with x64 and wifi but no solutions...
My system: AsRock Z68 Pro3 with an i5 2500k 3.3 Ghtz processor 8 gb of ram Asus Pce-n10 wireless adapter
(before that I bought the Linksys Wmp600n adapter which I couldn't get working as well)
Ive tried all latest drivers from manufacturer, even tried latest drivers from chipset manufacturers.
i just got a new router, my brother helped me set it up this router creates 2 wifi network, one named A, the other one named B.A is faster than B (i don't know why) on my ipad or phone or any mobile devices, i see both networks but on my windows 7 PC, i only see B (the slower one)so where is A? i need this faster one, why does it show up on mobile devices but not on my Windows 7 PC?when he set up the router, he said to me that the website (routerlogin.net - where you can set up your router, put password, etc) says "A is available for Mac and B is available for Windows PC". is this the reason?but what about mobile devices, they can connect to both networks?
I'm having an ongoing wireless problem with my Windows 7 PC in that speeds are a lot slower than expected and I even get intermittent 'connected to network but no internet access' problems.I have two computers on my network: a Windows PC, and a Macbook. With the laptop my download speed is regularly 17mbps. But my PC can barely pass 7mbps. I ran speedtest with the laptop on the floor next to the PC so I know they both have the same line of sight to the router. My laptop also never drops the connection.This tells me that the router cannot be at fault and that it's setup correctly.I have the latest drivers for my PCI wireless adapter. Windows is up to date.Is it possible that the wireless adapter just isn't very good? (I bought it as it had good user reviews). Although it barely managers a signal strength higher than 2 bars (which according to Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector is about -85dbm Very poor!).Is it likely that some adapters work better with some makes of router? I have a Netgear router and the adapter it TP-Link.
i have a laptop that i want to let my kids do their homework on - only the typing part. i want to disable wifi so they won't be browsing while they are doing it.i want to know if anyone knows of a registry edit to disable wifi?
