When setting up my wireless internet modem for the home computer, the Network and Sharing Center gives me three choices of Home Network, Work Place and Public Network.I read the help information on the subject but I am still a little confused. I use only the one home computer within my home. Should I choose the 'Home Network' option or would it be more safe and secure to choose the 'Public Network' option?I also need to set up a VPN connection for web browsing. Here again I am asked to choose. Do I choose Public Network for this
There are several threads about the network card going to sleep when a laptop is idle, but all of them I've seen just suggest the same things regarding various settings. I still have the same problem despite having set the following settings...
In "Change Plan Settings" ----------------------------- Dim display: 5 min Turn off display: 10 min Sleep: Never
[Code].....
Are there any other settings I've missed that could be causing my card to shut down as soon as my display cuts off? Or is this a bug in Windows 7 Pro?
I have Windows 7 Ultimate. I always have ran Malwarebytes Daily and RegCure.I had a trojan make it past Malwarebytes so I decided to give Avast a try. Didnt like Avast so I uninstalled it and went back with Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes didnt get it out, so I have Hitman Pro when I need it. Got the 2012 Trojan out. Now when windows loads it fails to load my Proxy Settings. Then I run the troubleshooter and it tells me this: Windows could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings So I tried all the netsh resets and it didnt help. Tried winsock. Nothing helped. Went into DevManager and nothing is grayed and no exclamations.I uninstalled the drivers for the net card and wifi card and restarted to let them reinstall. Nothing still. I opened Network Connections, NOTHING shows up. I also overwrote the Sys32 file nlasvc.dll and nothing happened.
I booted up my Win 7 (32 bit) PC this morning and noticed that it was not connecting to my wireless network. I went to check the network settings in device manager and I got the message "The specified service does not exist as an installed service". I can see the file devmgmt.msc in the C:WindowsSystem32 folder, but when I run it from there I get the same message "The specified service does not exist as an installed service". I am also seeing this same message when I insert my Windows 7 CD and try and re-run the setup. Even if I try to run anything as an administrator, I get this message "The specified service does not exist as an installed service". Is this some sort of Malware? Is there any way of recovering from this?
I accidentally took my laptop off the domain while installing a printer from a workgroup network, and placed the laptop on the workgroup, once restarted I cannot log in anymore, I am trying the password recovery tools to log into the administrator account.Is there a way for me to roll back the settings and have it back on the domain the way it was without being connected to the domain?And to get the user account back the way it was (basically just the network settings) so that I do not have to setup a new profile and migrate all the settings and programs?
I have recently run a virus scanner from mcaffee stinger. I had several virusus and it removed them. Although there gone I had just booted my laptop and it wont let me connect to the internet. It said limited access on the icon. I troubleshooted the windows network diagnostics and it said this. Problem found windows could not automatically detect this networks proxy settings. Whatever I try to run as administrator it will come up with an error saying
C:/Windows/system32/cmd.exe <-that was an example the name changes for different items.
I basically cant use it at all now. I go to the control panel and click right click properties to disable and it will come up with the same error. It also said windows has encountered an error saving the wireless profile specific error: the data is invalid.
One of the biggest annoyances when setting up wireless networks is remembering the security key and typing it correctly so that you can connect all laptops and netbooks to it. Windows 7 makes it easy to export your wireless settings from one machine to another. The backup of the wireless networks settings can be easily done from Windows 7, and the settings can be saved to a USB stick, and then the settings can be imported on laptops & netbooks running Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
I'm connecting my laptop with Windows 7 pro x64 to a digital player via lan the computer doesnt ask me what kind of network it is? why? it names it unidentified so i cant share files to it and why are the options from public advanced settings changing exactly like private setting?i want sharing for private and it disabled in public, but if i set it on at private it switches itself on in public also i messed with some registrys but i reverted it to what it was in the start, i think.i changed somethig in services.msc and Local Security Policy editor, i changed it back.my antivirus is security essentials and uac is set to never interrupt
when i was running the windows 7 rc, everything ran well with my network settings.
today, i received my windows 7 party pack and installed the os. whenever i reboot the computer, i don't have internet access. i have to go to network and sharing center to go to the ipv4 settings to input the default gateway everytime. my nic is the integrated realtekRTL8168/8111 Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC. at first, i used the microsoft drivers from the os. i did update to the realtek drivers, but the same thing is happening.
i've also ran various ipconfig commands, but nothing i've been able to do seems to help. anything i'm missing?
When I go to the network and sharing center and then click on change adapter settings the screen is blank except for VZAccess ( Verizon wireless device) that I just installed so that I could get online and try to resolve this issue. Could someone please guide me with instructions on how to reinstall the typical options (i.e.broadband, dsl, dial-up adapters) or perhaps where I download them and the reinstall them onto my computer? I currently have dsl connection available that was previously working (a Westell wireless modem model #A90-750015-07) supplied thru my ISP Verizon. the modem has been verified to be functioning properly.
I've just installed a new draft N wifi router to replace my previous B/G router. Perhaps foolishly, I kept the same name for my home network. My new Acer TravelMate, which has draft N capability, was happy (but slow) on the old system and works OK when I connect it to the new router by ethernet. However when I to connect it via wifi it says "The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network".
I just upgraded to windows 7 (rather a repaired version from windows 7) and why setting up, I was prompted to chose how to connect to my network. My computer has now been stuck in this pre-login network settings thing for over an hour now. I finally figured I'd cancel and fix it later, but there is no cancel. So i restarted my computer, only to have it start exactly where it left off. I was sure to completely turn off my computer, then it started over when I turned it back on. After unplugging my internet, it skipped the process.*
So, I have a class "A" IP Subnet in my home and a class "C" subnet. one is outside the "corporate" firewall and one is inside. My Laptop wireless always loves to obtain the 10.0.0.1 which is the ISA router/firewall. Obviously there is an IP conflict here because the TMG/ISA server/GATEWAY already has that..
This only happens after a reboot and the IP settings that it "desires" are the following: IP: 10.0.0.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.1 DNS: 192.168.1.1
It should be.... IP: 10.0.0.101 Subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0 Gateway: 10.0.0.1 DNS: 10.0.0.4 = MY DNS DNS: 10.0.0.5 = MY DNS
Should I delete the network controller, or do I have to delve into the registry to get this crap sorted out? The Laptop ALWAYS connects to the N router but has a problem assigning the IP where it will just assign a bad IP or "first ip" in the sequence. There are times that I need to get beyond the firewall, and I need to assign it a class "c" but I don't understand why this should be having a bearing upon future connections. I have repeatedly reset the "arp" and DNS; to no avail.
I have typed this command at my last chance: "netsh int ip reset c: esetlog.txt"
How do I setup the Wireless Network Security Settings on the Windows 7. I did installation and the configuration of the Router N 150 Dir 600 using Windows XP Pro.When I connect using windows XP Pro on the Wireless Router it is ok, but when I try connecting with Windows 7 Pro, it is giving me "Network Security Key Mismatch" even the security password or key is correct.
I want to save the Default Gateways in Advance TCP/IP Settings for my network adapter. I used the following sequence to set the values:
1. Open Adapter Settings (LAN Properties). 2. Select IPv4 and click on Properties. 3. Click Advance. 4. In the Popup select to add Default Gateways for both my Wired and Wireless network. 5. Click OK to close all open windows.
When I again open the settings, the changes in Default Gateways are all gone. The default gateway for both my wired and wireless network are same and both are connected to internet. I want to prefer wired over wireless whenever it is connected. I already tried changing Interface Metrics with no use at all. I searched the internet and got the information to select the default gateways with proper metrics.
I am using a Windows 7, 64bit machine with an attached network drive I use for streaming my media. The manufacturer is Seagate (2TB) STAM2000. So, I have two folders in this drive:
TV Shows
Movies
combined there is just 500gb. So, the Seagate NAS tells me the drive is full. I right click on the drive and chose properties. I then chose Quota Settings. Here it says: To change these settings click Quota settings. I do this anf nothing happens. It looks as if this option is to prevent one user from filling the drive. I also connected a WD NAS and the same option appears.
Now, just 3 days ago It started the BSOD issue.I realize that my GPU was the cause of this issue. When playing games or open 3d applications the temp goes 30C to 72C (In 15 seconds) then 82C - 85C constant (in about 30 seconds).Now I've been using MSI afterburner to check my temps and at fulload my GPU will be at 62-72C max temperature but now it's 10C even higher then before. No, I haven't fiddled with the voltage I set the GPU voltage to 1.037v which is the safest (been running this almost 8 months!). The GPU is the GTX 560ti.Is there a way to set the GPU on default settings or reset GPU settings in cmd or other professional way. I have uninstalled the drivers, uninstalling GPU, disabled GPU, disabled PCI-E slot and so on by using device manager and the issue still persist. Yes, I also have clean the GPU perfectly and still the temperature goes up to 82 seconds at 30seconds-45seconds. Yes, I have checked everything is set correctly and so on, I am a PC Tech.
Is the GPU damaged? Yes I have looked at this thread: Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try Mainly, I know its the GPU straight away, I tried checking old drivers, new drivers, another GPU overclocked software such as GPU tweak and EVGA Precision. I am thinking it's the GPU is damaged or the PCI-E is damaged (I have another PCI-E slot on my system and the issue still there). It might be the PCI-E frequency? but it's set to 100 which it meant to be, I just hope is software related because I don't have the money to buy a new card. Did the dump files help?
(Which I what I've started calling this product since I'm on my 5th reinstall and probably will get to a 6th.) Anyway so now I have a new issue this time with Live Messenger. I can double click on a contact and it theoretically creates a window so I can talk to them. The problem is that I can't make that new window be visible. If I hover my mouse over the icon in the task bar I can see that it really did create a window so I can talk to my contact but if I click on it nothing happens. (The window stays hidden.) So anybody else see this behavior with Live Messenger in Reinstall
In windows 7 in windows explorer we can search and control our files and folders.When I click on a folder or file I get a nice light blue selection. I am really sick of this color. I do not wish to change the Windows 7 Theme per se , I was just wanting to change the color of selected files and or folders , because the color is too faint.
Under Windows XP, after winning a Freecell game, you coul check the "select game" box in the window askng if you want to "Play Again?" Now, under Windows 7, it just asks "Play Again?" and opens a random game. If you click "Select Game" on the drop down menu, it warns this will count as a loss in the statistics. I don't care that much about the statistics, but I am playing sequential games (I am now on 21210), so I [b][i]always want to select the game number.
I installed Windows 7 on a separate drive from Windows XP. On booting the computer the two operating systems appear but I cannot used the arrow or tab key etc to select the operating system. It defaults to Windows 7 after 30 seconds.
I have windows 7 pro as my default OS on a 1T internal hard drive. Some of my games won't work so I partitioned my hard drive 50 gigs, and have installed windows xp on that partition. Of course I inserted the XP disk, went into the bio's and switched the boot order of my computer to CD (for now). Installed xp, and it work. But when I restarted it, It just goes directly to XP, It doesn't give me a list on which Os to boot off of or anything. I went to start and typed in msconfig. and it only saw XP, although there were other things there i did not recognize.
So I inserted the windows 7 disk and restarted computer off disk and selected "repair" and I am back on 7, but I can go back on XP any time I want, (just simple insert the XP disk). Anyways when I'm in windows 7 and I type in msconfig in the search bar, it only see's windows 7 Os, current and default OS. So I have two OS on a partitioned hard drive, no boot selective boot up. And I cant access one or the other without the boot up disk. Is there a way to select which one i want to boot up?
I haven't been able to do this and just assumed that it wasn't possible until I saw this: Select multiple files or folders. This doesn't work on my computer, can other people open Explorer and select more then one folder at a time? I've tried this when I wanted to move multiple folders to an external drive and had to do them one at a time.
I recently did a reinstall of Windows 7 (64 Bit) which went well and everything was working fine until my pc encountered some kind of error last night & rebooted. Since then everytime I shut it down, it just reboots instead. I've tried quite a few things after reading the net but nothing has worked.
I've tried changing power management options in the device manager, looking in the BIOS for anything that looks off and I've just completed another reinstall of Windows but the problem still persists.
The only thing that's not fully up to date are the motherboard drivers as when I download them from the Asus website, I just get a ROM file that I can't seem to use.
ive been having some trouble with my language bar. i can see the back on my desktop, but as soon as i left click on the icon (to change settings/change languages) the pop-up menu only appears for about 0.5 of a second and then disappears.
i've included a link to Internet below so you can see what i mean.
I've had Windows Mail working well on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit for over a year with no problems until very recently.
A problem started 3 days ago.
I have my Contacts List set to show alphabetically starting at A, and until 3 days ago, the Select Recipients box showed in the same order. It's now showing in the reverse order - starting with Z.
It boots fine from usb fine and starts the setup however when she goes to install it asks "insert the media device and select the driver windows 7". Ive looked around the forums and google and found that this can be a usb 2.0 , 3.0 problem with people just switching to the 2.0 slot and it working. However this does not work for her and so I looked around more and found it might be needing the drivers for the USB ports had her insert the disc that came with the motherboard however non of the setups in the usb folder work and im not sure which specific file she needs to choose to get the driver to install or 100 % if that is even the issue. Any ideas? Intel� Desktop Board DZ68DB - Overview this is the board Forgot to mention this hard drive is from her older computer so its a new motherboard / cpu / ram.
i was trying to format my external hardriver using a website and when i ran the program it said something i clicked it and suddenly my computer froze and blue screen of death came on then the message of reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key..
My computer was working fine for a year and a half and just had this message,"reboot and select proper boot device". I unplugged every device one at a time (including all external peripheral devices) and tried to reboot unsuccessfully. I checked to make sure everything was properly attached multiple times. Sometimes I'm able to boot with the windows 7 disk....most times not so lucky. I checked my bios boot order and everything seems to be correct after reading posts online. I wonder if the CMOS battery can cause this or if their is some type of diagnosis tool or hardware malfunction causing this. I ran seagate tools to check hard drives..They are all working fine.
