Can Connect To Internet But Can No Longer Connect To 198.192.1.1
May 18, 2012I CAN connect to internet just fine using my wifi BUT I CAN NO LONGER connect to 198.192.1.1!!! Any idea how to solve this problem? I'm using a Dell Insprion 1545 and Win7 32-bit. I never had this issue before, jut popped up when I tried using ICS on a different laptop, an IBM thinkpad T42 also using Win7 and connected to the same network via wifi. Again I can connect to the internet just fine on all my laptops, but 192.168.1.1 (for my netgear router) returns "unable to connect" page!!! have verified (via ipconfig) that my gateway ip is 192.168.1.1. I have valid IPs on all the laptops, but cannot connect to router setup page.

Jan 11, 2013My roommate and I have noticed that whenever my PC is turned on, nothing else can connect to our wireless -- our phones, laptops, and the PS3 simply won't connect. When we turn it off, all of those can be connected at the same time, but the second windows 7 begins, they'll all lose connection.

Jan 9, 2012I have an HP Desktop computer and I cannot connect to the internet. The problem started with my mouse not working well then my keyboard so we replaced them (that was a month ago). Then strange thing started to happen, a ticking sound started to sound every few minutes. Apart from that, the computer seems well and functions properly. Then one day when I tried to turn it on, the screen looks different. I am referring to what I usually see on my screen whenever I turn it on. My pc is running on windows 7 but right now it looks like its on XP. Plus I cannot connect to the internet. The icon is no longer on the systems tray and when I tried to do the following:

Windows 7 Desktop Will Connect To Modem, But Will Not Connect To Any Sites Programs?
Jun 7, 2012just last night after i was finished playing skyrim for the night, i saw on steam that i had no connection. so i looked towards the internet bars icon next to the clock and saw a yello triangle with a "!" in it. so i disconnected and reconnected but still the yellow "!". so i just decided i would try again tomorrow (today).when i woke up today it didn't have that error, so i decided to go to Internet on chrome, but it had that "webpage not available" (wouldn't work for ie either). i figured it would soon fix itself like it always had, so i tried playing mw3 on my xbox, but it wouldn't connect to live either o.o and when my mom wanted to watch netflix on the living room xbox, she couldn't connect either! then i figured out it was definatly my modem that was refusing to connect to anything.

I am trying to connect to a network (I have a dell running on windows 7) and it keeps telling me that windows is unable to connect to the network-this is before I can even enter the security key.

Apr 12, 2011I built my first custom PC about 4 months ago. I bought windows 7 ultimate off Ebay, installed it, entered my product key, installed Microsoft Security Essentials and everything worked fine. At the time it said my copy of windows 7 was genuine.Now 4 months latter my computer randomly pops up with a message telling me my copy is no longer genuine. Microsoft Security Essentials is no longer running, my desktop background has turned black and in the bottom right hand corner of my screen there is a message saying
-"Windows 7

As far as I can tell my copy of Windows 7 is genuine. It came with a sealed COA, a proof of License label and holographic discs.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 - XP Can No Longer See/share
Nov 10, 2011We have been using a Windows 7 machine and an XP machine for some time now - they are using the same workgroup name, and were sharing files using the Public folder on Windows 7, no problems. The XP could also connect to the printer, which is hardwired to the Windows 7.
They are both using wifi in our building. The wifi, which is owned by the landlord, used to be called Ourwifi. A couple weeks ago, the power went out in our building and then there was a problem with the wifi and the internet/cable company came out and changed it. It is now reconfigured as Ourwifi2. It is password protected.
Since that change, both the Windows 7 and XP computers are able to access the wifi and use the internet, but now they cannot share files. As far as I know, nothing on either of the computers settings had changed.
The Windows 7 computer was turned OFF when the power went out; the XP most likely was ON (because that user tends to leave it on all the time). Since I've been trying to reconnect them, I may have changed something by accident.
So here are the settings in the Windows 7:Network and Sharing - Under advanced sharing settings, password protection sharing is OFF under "home or work" as well as under "public." Workgroup is listed as the same one as the XP computer (ourwkgrp). In Windows 7, under active networks, Ourwifi2 is listed as a"work network" Windows 7 has Norton running; I'm unsure if it has had any auto-updates that may have changed accessiblity settings. I can't find in the Norton settings how to add all those TCP and UDP numbers suggested in a post elsewhere that might help it find the XP machine. On the XP machine -- XP can see (or thinks it sees) the Windows 7 computer over the wifi -- if I look at "view workgroup computers" in the XP -- Windows 7 shows up, but if I attempt to connect, I get a message saying it is an invalid path, cannot be viewed over the network.
XP cannot print to the printer connect to Windows 7. It can't see the printer b/c I can't expand the Windows 7 folders that show up under "view workgroup computers."

My Windows OEM Is No Longer Activated
Nov 1, 2012The hurricane came and cut the power while the computer was on. power came back on after 3 days. i cut the computer on and it said that startup has failed. so the computer tired to do the auto fix.

May 16, 2011I purchased the full version of Windows 7 Home premium for my new build in March.I bought the full version rather then the OEM so I wouldn't have to answer to Big Brother Bill if I ever wanted to upgrade my computer.Since I live in a remote area with internet access limited to ~ 1kB/sec dial up, I activated Windows by phone, then used WSUS Offline Update to install the updates that I downloaded at work.
Yesterday I got the message that my copy of Windows is not genuine.I've spent hours on the phone with MS tech support to no success.When I attempt to activate either by phone or online the required alphanumeric code is missing in the activation dialog.Is there no option left other than reformating the HD and starting all over?
Windows 7 No Longer Boots?
Dec 9, 2011So just a few minutes ago my desktop was running fine and all. I was opening and reading documents off my flash drive when all of a sudden it turned off and proceeded to restart. Upon passing the POST screen, it comes to an error page that says boot device not found. Just FYI I have a WD 250GB boot drive and two additional Samsung 1TB drives set up in RAID 1 NTFS. So I look in BIOS for my boot drive and find it there and it says its working. However, when I try to set the WD boot drive as the first boot device, it does not show it as an option at all. Only my raid drive shows up along with removable drive, and cd drive.I need some ideas as to what could have caused this. The WD drive is a few years old, but I don't think the drive would have just died like that; there were no previous cues for the hard drive starting to fail. It still shows up in BIOS and powers up.I wanna hope that the MBR was somehow corrupted, which should be an easy repair I think if I can get my hands on the ISO file. Also, it's Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

Aug 10, 2012Several days ago I was looking into OC'ing my 2500K and after reading through a few guides and getting some advise from people I went into my MB's BIOS and modified sveral settings then tried to restart my system but upon rebooting I found that I could no longer load up Windows 7 which is installed on my main HDD. Whenever I tried booting into Windows 7 I would get the image from the motherboard that gives you the option to load into the BIOS or change boot orders etc then I would get the option to choose which OS I want to load (I've got Windows 8 Release Preview installed on my second HDD), then whenever I choose to load Windows 7 I will just get a black screen and eventually different coloured specs start appearing along the first few rows of pixels. Strangely Windows 8 loads up perfectly fine and I can even access files off my Windows 7 HDD through Windows 8.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 Will No Longer Install Updates?
Aug 22, 2011I'm hoping to find an answer on why my computer is having a problem installing any updates now, be it windows updates, or other programs like acrobat reader and such...and if my no print issue may be related. I had no problems for a while running updates when I bought the computer in February, now as of a couple months ago, it always has errors when trying to install them. I have a Compaq Presario CQ56 Notebook PC running 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium SP1. This problem occured about the same time that I noticed a no print issue, so I'm wondering if they are related. I tried 2 different printers that I've never had issues with until recently. Lexmark 3350 and a HP 932C are the printers with the proper drivers installed and the Lexmark has even worked on this computer a couple times before back when I first got it. I ran into this issue so I got out the HP to try and same thing. I click print, from any program, MS Office, Acrobat reader, whatever, and it does nothing...the program thinks it sent it, but the Print Status shows nothing, and nothing more happens. However, when in printer settings I can click print test page, and it'll spit it right out.

Jan 15, 2013I am running: Windows 7 64bit
On: Acer Aspire 5750 laptop
For a couple months my computer has been locking up at random intervals for several seconds each time. I got no error messages and each time it came back acting fine, so I just assumed I had too much running. Now, I'm not so sure it wasn't the HD failing, because...
Last week, I noticed the shield on the shutdown button indicating windows needed to run an update. I closed out of everything and pushed the button to shutdown/install updates. The computer immediately crashed almost as if I had held down the power button. When I attempted to restart it, my only 2 options were to start normally or launch repair mode. Normal didn't work, so I launched repair. Repair ran for close to 4 days. In the first 36 hours it asked to be restarted twice, after that it just kept running until finally I gave up and shut it down with the power button.
Like a moron, I do not have a recent backup of my files and really wish they could still be saved.
Since then:Tried to rescue files with Umbutu boot stick- error said it could not mount to drive. Tried to launch safe mode with command prompt via F8- system went back into repair mode instead. Tried to launch to last known good configuration via F8- system went back to repair mode, again. Tried to launch via Windows Boot Disk- the screen it gave me was not the same screen as the screenshots on the forums suggested I should get. My screen was an Acer logo with 3 options, but only 2 I could chose and both promised to wipe my data. One was to repair windows and the other was to replace it. I chose neither in an effort to not loose my data. From other peoples screen shots it looks like this disk should give me many more options, including one for command prompt. Tried Windows boot disk again, disk would not load this time. Now I'm stuck! How can I check for HD failure if I can't get a command prompt or OS? It seems like everything I try goes right back into the same repair mode that ran for 4 days and did nothing good and forces me to shut down with power button despite how bad that is to do.
Windows Fax And Scan No Longer Works
May 3, 2011We used to use ZetaFax, I'm told. I'm new to the company. We no longer use ZetaFax. Since bringing in Windows Vista Business and Windows 7 Pro computers, and Windows 2008 Server, we now use Windows Fax and Scan.We use Fax Server on the server with quad port RocketModems installed.Now, here's the problem.Some of our employees are having problems using Windows Fax and Scan. The way they use faxing is by finding the file (usually an Adobe Acrobat pdf), open it and then go to the Fax printer.This then auto faxes the document using Windows Fax and Scan.For most of our employees, this works fine.But, suddenly for some it does not work. When I visit the ones who can't fax, I open Windows Fax and Scan and try to launch it. It does not launch. On some of the computers, the user gets a message that the format must be tif. For others, they get a message saying that they can not access to the document folder.I'd like to remove Windows Fax and Scan on these computers and try to reinstall it and see what happens. How can I do that?

Jul 18, 2009I've got 5 PCs here.. 2x Win 7 x64 v7100, 1x Vista x32, 2x XP Pro x32. Strangely, within the past 24 hours both of my Windows 7 PCs have stopped booting. They turn on, hard drives spin, fans come on. There is no beep, and no signal to the peripherals, including keyboard, mouse, monitor. Identical problems on both systems.
Specs on Windows 7 System 1 (2 years old):
Motherboard Asus P5N32-E SLI

Ram 4 x OCZ DDR2-800 Reaper 2048MB

Power Supply Silverstone ST1000 1000W
Specs on Windows 7 System 2 (1 month old):

Ram 4 x Kingston ValueRAM DDR2-800 2048MB
Video Card Asus GeForce 9600GT 512MB Silent
Power Supply Corsair VX 450W Power Supply
I suppose it's possible that both motherboards just coincidentally failed in the same day but that seems pretty unlikely. They are both ASUS. On System 2, the second system to fail, I did notice that the computer had been on with the screen saver up for a little while. Someone had been using it only about 20 minutes earlier. I thought it'd entered power saving mode and turned off the screen but when I went to bring it back up, I couldn't. I noticed that the light on the front of the box was flashing. I tried powering off by holding down the power button, then powering back up but had no luck. I also tried turning it off at the power supply and unplugging it for a few minutes but that didn't help either.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled versions 3.3 and 3.4 several times.

I have run MS Security Essentials scans in regular and Safe Mode as well as Comodo Anti-Virus scans.Googling and posting on an OpenOffice forum indicated several things to try, none of which panned out:I installed Java 6.33 32-bit version.DocuShare is not running or installed.I turned off Skype.I turned off all firewalls and anti-malware programs and services.I stopped and disabled non-critical services (only 26 processes were running in Task Manager).I have uninstalled OO, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted after each of these attempts with the same results.
When I only had 26 processes running, opening an OO program caused the dllhost process to appear in Task Manager for several seconds. I have not noticed that when all services are activated. In fact, I specifically noticed it not happening.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 PC Won't Wake From Longer Sleep
Feb 8, 2013I recently built my first PC - AMD FX8350 on an Asus M5A88M motherboard. Running Windows 7, set up mostly as default. Newest drivers on everything.
The sleep functionality (using the default Balanced mode) had been working fine as far as I could tell. I'd walk away from the computer for a while, or leave it on overnight, and come back to find it asleep. A few taps on the keyboard or a push of the flashing power button would wake it up.
Recently, I've been having trouble waking the computer from longer sleeps (overnight). Nothing seems to wake it - the mouse, the keyboard, or the power button - I get no fans or anything, the system seems locked up tight. I actually have to switch off the power supply and then turn it back on. Only after that can I hit the power button and it resumes. For short sleeps (a couple of hours), everything works as it should.
I only have it set to sleep after 30 minutes (hybrid sleep actually). I have hibernate set to never. Monitor turns off after 10 minutes. Hard drives off after 20 minutes. These are the default settings for Balanced. As far as I can tell, there should be no difference to Windows if the PC has been sleeping for 1 hour or 12 hours, there are no different settings that kick in after a longer period of time.
Recently I converted from a PS/2 to a USB keyboard - that's been the only change. When I run powercfg, it shows the mouse, keyboard, and Realtek device (presumably the power button) as the ones that would wake the computer.
