A friend has Windows 7 purchased last November but has not had on internet yet. Could get an ip address, but not connect. Had yellow warning icon. Had Norton icon but was not installed, most likely came with purchase. Also had problems connecting with ipod wirelessly. Could connect with Vista PC.
View 5 RepliesSaturday, I updated to the Windows 7 SP1. Soon after, I started having this problem with a yellow triangle in the tray icon where the internet access indicator is that says "no internet access". This is a bogus message, but its still annoying. This went away if you reboot, and then later maybe that same day the triangle would reappear. Each time I did still have internet access. I tried several other things like getting rid of IE 9 which I updated to during the same day and maybe a couple of other updates around this time.
Last night (Thur) was to get rid of the SP1 after several failed attempts. I had to do so by using the cmd WUSA etc instead of through the control panel, because it kept getting stuck trying to do the uninstall through the control panel uninstall method. This morning, it did not yet have the yellow triangle, and I will check it again this afternoon after work to make sure it has not come back again.
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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have AT&T U-Verse with a 2Wire (3801 HGV) router. I've had the service for about a month without any issues. As of now, I am able to connect to the internet using WiFi (via my Wii, iPhone, and Laptop), but when trying to make a WIRED connection (via ethernet cable from the 2wire router directly to the PC), all I get is a yellow icon.
If I unplug the ethernet cable and plug it back it, the blue circle appears for a while, then back to the yellow error icon. In the Network and Sharing Center, I am showing my PC with a broken connection (yellow triangle) to "Unidentified Network with a broken "red X" connection the Internet. I thought maybe it was the ethernet cable, so I tried a wired connection from the router to my laptop (also running Windows 7) and it works just fine, so I've determined it must have something to do with the PC itself.
I've tried doing a system rollback, resetting the router itself, made sure the network driver on the PC was up to date and ran the test to make sure it's working properly.....all with no luck. I've tried using Windows to diagnose the problem and I get "Problems Found: Local Area Connection doesn't have a valid IP configuration". What baffles me is it was working fine up until a few days ago.
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.

I have a Compaq Presario C700 laptop running windows 7 and one day when turning on my pc I have encountered my wireless icon on my taskbar began showing grey with an orange looking cloud over it. I have dove into the system checking everything that I could think of to change it back to displaying properly. i am connected to the interent through a Netgear router and I can access the internet through either 2 ghz or 5ghz band but the icon will not display properly. No matter where I connect to the internet the icon still displays the same way. I thought it may have been my norton internet security that caused the issue I removed Norton and rebooted the icon remained the same I then Installed my Mcafee virus shield.When the problem began I had changed nothing nor had I installed anything to cause the issue. It just began one day.

I have been getting this error, sometimes a few times a day or then sometimes a week.. But still it has the same effect as being on Facebook. The thing that happens is that I get a little yellow triangle with the exclamation mark on it and I cant get online and the only solution so far is that I have to troubleshoot my internet and then I am online again! But I need a better solution because yes no one wants every time to right click the network icon in the right corner and press Troubleshoot Problems.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to upgrade to Windows 7. I'd previously had Vista Home Premium 64bit installed, and everything was fine apart from loading speeds, odd crashes etc. I bought a student edition copy of Windows 7 Professional (64bit) from software for students.com. I did a check to see if the pc was good to go with a windows 7 update tool, and had no errors. Also checked if it was compatible going from home premium to professional. And all was good on that front.
Ok, so I bought the bootable disk, and put it in the pc ready to install. All goes well until the last part where it copies over files from previous windows, and then the display goes from normal to a green/yellow. White is no longer white, more a yellow, and all reds and blues all become a wash of greeny yellows too. The installation completes, and no driver updates for either graphics, display or windows updates remedies this.
I've tried printing screen and emailing to my iphone, and the display is perfect! I've reinstalled twice, and again all colours are bang on until the same point in the install, and then it reverts to the yellow/green display. I've now just tried a clean install deleting the old partition, and surprise surprise its gone green/yellow again. It can't surely be the monitor if all boot up screens and during installation is displayed correctly can it? Same goes for drivers.
Suddenly I have a yellow border around windows live photo gallery, and the photos have a yellow tint to them. This has happened in the last week and I have done a search, but not come up with any solution.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI bought this computer three months ago, and had no problems, up until now. It all started with it freezing up all of a sudden, forcing me to restart. But the display didn't show up. Tried again. Didn't work. Eventually, I removed my GPU and placed it back again, thinking it was loose. Then it finally worked.
Then it happened again. So after taking out my graphics card twice, it finally started working, but my HDD started making strange sounds. A sound I've never heard before, and only occurred during start up. I shrugged it off.
Now I start getting these sort of instances, when what ever program I have open, stops responding and Windows get's pretty laggy. The Windows Explorer (Not IE, the tool bar thing) also is unresponsive. I know it can't be a virus, Trend Micro showed no signs of anything after I scanned my computer a bunch of times.
So I did what any sane person would do, I did a bit of research on the net, and found this thread on this forums. The person here had a similar problem that I did. After reading most of the comments, I downloaded HDD SMART, as instructed, and apparently "Current Pending Sector Count" is yellow.
I have just installed windows 7 32 bit but i couldn't get internet in device manager. I found yellow mark on 'network controller'...

View 14 Replies View RelatedI recently did a fresh install on my gf's computer as it was suddenly unable to establish an online connection. The error showed in the connection status as the small yellow warning icon at the top left of the connection status icon, not the big red X that appears when the machine isn't connected at all.
Here are the specs:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Rev.1
CPU: Intel i7 950
RAM: 12GB Corsair Dominator GT 2000mhz
The system is also not overclocked.
After trying many things (reinstalling network drivers, flushing DNS, trying a different ethernet cable, restoring all network settings to default) I gave up and did a fresh installation.
After installation, I installed all the usual official drivers, then performed a Windows update, but only the important updates. The connection was back! I then decided to install some optional stability updates, and after reboot, the network problem was back.
I did a system restore to before I installed the optional updates, but the problem persists. I have no idea which optional update is causing this, or which one to remove first to avoid creating more errors.
Here I am, bebopping around the internet (looking for a sleep remedy) and suddenly, a dialog box popped up, saying that windows was updating itself. It looked like a normal Windows screen, "updated" itself, shut itself down, and rebooted to the welcome screen. I did nothing to warrant this, I didn't click on anything unusual. There was no option asking me if I agreed, or wanted it to be done. I use the Norton Web Safe deal, so I do not visit any sites that have the little red warning flag. I've been ignoring some "critical" updates (ones Microsoft thinks, like an updated version of IE) for a while, but I've never had my machine just up and do this on it's own. I'm obviously concerned about a virus, malware or whatever, but do run a current version of Norton Internet Security, which is updated regularly. A full system scan was done yesterdaty, and a quick one this morning the seach found nothing but the normal cookies. Would Windows decide suddenly that it really really needed to update itself like this? Note, I was in a user mode, since I try not to log into the admin, to help avoid unwanted software installing itself.

View 7 Replies View RelatedYesterday and today I'm constantly getting warnings from windows, that it detected a problem and suggested to backup my hard drive. I currently have 2 drives. the c:/ is where windows resides (60gb ssd drive). The second one is an older (3 years old) from my old computer where my programs reside. It is this latter one D:/ (500gb seagate barracuda) where windows is telling me to backup.
I just installed another WD 500GB black (also about 3 years old) so I could backup the D: drive. The computer is running fine. Is windows accurate in being able to find hard disk problems before they become an issue? I'm afraid that if I take out the drive and send it back to seagate they might not find anything wrong with it. Is there a way to test and fix it with software?
