I tried to install USB Wireless network adapter to my XP system(OFFICECONNECT WIRELESS 11g USB ADAPTER). Not only that I couldn't establish a connection through that new wireless adapter I also lost my regular PCI network adapter couldn't connect via the PCI adaptor and couldn't set it's TCP/IP configurations I uninstalled the TCP/IP and when I tried to reinstall I got: "The name is already in use as a service name or service display name".
I recently installed Windows XP professional on a new hard drive on Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. The OS installed fine but now I cannot get onto internet. I have ATT/Yahoo DSL. My laptop has integrated wireless adapter. When I look under device manager -> network adapters, I only see the following listed: 1) 1394 Net Adapter 2) Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network) 3) Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI) I don't believe any of the above are for internet. On my other laptop (Dell Latitude D610), under network adapters, I do see: 1) Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller 2) Cisco Systems SSL VPN Adapter 3) Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection Using Latitude D610 laptop, I am able to connect to the internet wireless. What do I need to do to my Inspiron 6000 to enable it to connect to the internet wireless? Under control panel -> network connections, I only see 1394 connection and Bluetooth Network Connection. No LAN 2, LAN 3, Wireless connection, etc.
I have reinstalled Windows XP on my Dell Dimension 8000. I got XP installed ok but then need to connect to the internet to update/download all the software I need. Network Setup Wizard cannot find any network hardware. All I need to do is connect the PC to my home network (wired). This all worked before, I just can't figure out how to get the computer to recognise the modem?In Device Manager there is no modem listed. Shouldn't there be one? Is it drivers? I put the Dell drivers disk in which didn't seem to do anything.
On yahoo home page was holding mouse over an ad. The computer suddenly crashed and restarted. My husband then got a sudden error message on his computer.
"One of the files containing the System's registry data had to be recovered by use of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was successful" You could not get it to go away if you clicked ok. We restarted in manually because you were not able to get into start or any programs at all. I did get it to go away at one point but still could not get into any programs or start menu. I was trying to run an anti virus and also a clean up and fix of registry, but could not.
Recently my video card died, and so my system went kaput. Originally I had thought it might be a driver problem so I uninstalled all Nvidia drivers from my system - including by accident my motherboard chipset drivers (I have an Asus A8N-SLI).Now when I try to boot with a new video card swapped in I get an endless reboot cycle. I disabled automatic rebooting and I got a blue screen with STOP 0x0000007B. I do have a clean installation of windows on another partition that I keep around for troubleshooting, and that works fine.Is there any way to save my current installation short of a complete reinstall?
i'm having this problem with service pack 3 installation.i'm running windows xp home with service pack 2. A balloon just came up the other day wanting to install service pack 3. I should say it was an update balloon. I would let it begin installation but after about 20 min. I would get this service pack 3 setup error box.Service pack 3 installation did not complete.Select ok to undo the changes that have been made.I would let it undo the changes but everytime that i booted up i would get this update balloon. What do i do?
Having a problem with the install of Service Pack 3. The update keeps picking it up but halfway through the install a popup appears to say " an additional download is needed to complete the installation.Install service pack 3 again " . Well I have installed 6 times now and the same happens every time, it doesn't say what the additional download is or where to get it from. I'm running XP which has been taking forever to start up up recently ( about 15 mins ) don't know if it's related or not?
I have Windows XP Sp2 whe i try to chanhe ip in "Local Area Connection" i got following message:" Network Connetion Folder was unable to retrive the list of network Adapters":i checked "Services" .Ok working fine then what 's the problem??
Once I've downloaded the updates windows fails to install them. I've even tried one at a time and still nothing. I'm logged in as a domain admin figuring it was permissions related however it still fails to apply the updates.
i have a problem with my network folder.It seems that I can't see my existing network connections in the folder! I first noticed this when i click on my dial-up connection the connection window won't come up.When i open the network connections folder in the control panel, an error message comes up with this message:The Network Connections Folder was unable to retrieve the lsit of Network adapters on your machine. Please make sure that the Network Connections service is enabled and running.
I've been trying to do a XP Home Edition repair install for a very long time now. I've restarted it a lot of times but in the "Installing Windows" section when it says setup will approximately complete in 25 mintues it starts "copying files", I get this "copy error" "Setup cannot copy the file licwmi.dl_.Ensure that the disk labeled 'Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 1 CD' is in the drive section below, or provide the location where the file can be found."
I can't seem to get all the critical updates to install on my Windows 2000 Pro machine. Installation always fails from the Windowsupdate site and when installing them separately, they say I don't have administration rights (I AM the administrator!)
windows was unable to complete the disk check from My Computer.What cause this and how can I fix it? Apparently, this is the reason I am unable to perform a defrag.I ran a Chkdsk.exe and got the following msg: The type of the file system is NTFS. Cannot lock current drive.Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? y
I have a wireless home network: 3 XP Home machines with file and printer sharing. A long time ago I bought a x64 license through my school for somewhere around $7. I have an Athlon 64 3700+ machine I'd like to try it on, and in a nutshell I was wondering if, post-installation, it will still be able to communicate with the other two 32-bit XP machines on my network.
I've a computer with Windows XP Pro, which is not connected to the internet. Now, I want to update it in order to be all up-to-date and secured again. So I don't mean by just downloading SP2, but by installing all security patches available ever since! So I need to download everything first, burn it on CD, and then install the patches on my other computer. No problem. But the problem is: where can I download all those updates?! I've searched all over the net, and all I found was softwarepatch.com; it only contains english updates, and since I've a Dutch version of XP installed, those won't work. Simply changing the urls from xxx-ENU.exe to xxx-NLD.exe doesn't work either, different languages of the same patch seem to be hosted under a whole other url.
In my Network Connections it shows nothing. It is just white space. In my system tray, at the bottom right-hand corner of my screen, it shows no flashing computers. This has been so for around five months, I'm guessing. It never really bothered me until lately, and here is what I have done in order to fix it (to no avail, obviously):- Installed all critical Windows updates - Ran Ad-Aware entire system scan (it's my only anti-virus program)- Tried to make a new network connection, but according to Windows, I have no network hardware, either- Put my Windows installation CD into my CD drive, went to "Install Optional Windows Components," and installed everything network related, then restarted.
I just installed XP pro Sp2 over Vista Home Premium on my laptop. Please note that I originally had XP and upgraded to VISTA (big mistake) a year ago. The installation process went well, however I can't connect to Internet. My network connection shows that I have a connection. I tried to do ipconfig from command menu and did nor get any IP address.

I've had a two computer network for a while now, I've had another computer given to me which I have been trying to connect to the network. It has a network card and seems to be working ok but when I try to get online I am getting this page cannot be displayed. I have tried restarting in sequence but it has not worked on this pc but I can get on ok on my other two pc's, I have google as my home page on all three pc's. My router box is a mentor 4 port 10/100mbps ethernet broadband router, I have had 3 pc's working on it in the past. I cant think what to do next has anyone got a suggestion. Oh I nearly forgot I have no restore points.
For years I have been able to print from networked computers in my home ( two desktops running XP pro hardwired, one laptop XP wireless and one desktop xp wireless) to my main computer thru a router. The main computer ran XP home edition for years until my hard drive crashed and left me without an operating system ( The PC is an HP pavillion and had the recovery disc partitioned on the hard drive). I installed a new hard drive and was able to install XP pro from my boys computer that was received from a home school company that they use. The company had sent me a OEM version of XP pro with all their sofware on it that were copied on blank cd's. When I initially set my main computer up again I was able to print from all my computers. I then grew tired of always logging on with a password that was setup by the home school company.
Now I cannot print from any computer other than the main computer where the printer is connected. My first question would be: Can I delete the users on my main computer that were setup by the Home school company and start my own user? Next: Do I need a password? I would rather not have one. I only need one user account on the main computer. If I can delete the users and passwords, should I move any or all documents out of the user I want to delete? Will any of this solve my problem of not printing from my networked printers?
I keep getting an error message that the network is unable allocate an ip address to my computer ive had this problem before in australia and some tech support guy fixed it for me but i cant remember what it was that he did

I have a 3-computer home workgroup that connects to the internet via a Netgear router. I have a Lexmark X74-75 printer/scanner/copier that is connect to one of those computers, and that computer is connected directly to the router. The other two computers print to the Lexmark via sharing. This setup has been working without issue for about 2 years, but in the past week, everything seems to have gone to hell, including the ability to print. This description may be a little long,but I have to be everything I am about to relate is somehow connected.I will do my best to also advise what I have installed, removed, etc., during that period.
I have a home network with six computers, connected to a DHCP Router and ADSL Modem. I also have a IOmega Network drive connected to the router.Well, I had to reinstall Windows XP on one of the computers, taking the chance to install SP3 directly after installation.So far so good. But when I was going to connect to the Network drive, I could not find ANY! computers when checking for them. I can connect to the router on its setup IP adress, and also the drive setup. But I did not see the volume. I also have Internet connection. I tried to ping the drive, and it worked. I tried to ping the other computers, but it did not work. Then I tried to search for the volume, and it worked. I was able to map the volume as a drive, but I still cant see it on the net. Searching for the other computers was negative.
1. When I try to run the Network Setup Wizard, I get an error at the very end that Windows was unable to complete the setup 2. When I select Windows Firewall from the Control Panel, I says that it cannot start the service 3. When I select Network Connections>Local Area Connection>Properties>Advanced (tab) it says that it cannot display some of the properties of the connection because WMI information may be corrupted 4. When I try to configure my Intel network adapter, it says that it "failed to load a network component" 5. Also, this is not related to networking but the Windows Updater has failed to install every update for quite a while now.
I am using a laptop and sometimes I shut the lid and put it into hibernate mode. When I open the lid again and the computer boots back into windows, the wireless internet doesn't work. Windows says my computer is connected to the wifi network but when i open firefox or internet explorer it just doesn't work. I am using windows xp pro.
Whenever i start my laptop, for the first 2 min, i am unable to open 'network connections' or open my dial-up dialog to log on to the net. What i have noticed is that 'wuauclt.exe' is taking about 50 mb of the memory, and as soon as this process is gone, i can access my net connection.
I have had numerous problems with my PC - including disappearing icons, connectivity problems (I have cable internet and all seems to be in order but I can't connect a lot). I also have settings on my PC that somehow change themselves. So, I've read through the forums and decided to try the Hijack this solution and was hoping someone could help. I also cannot use Internet Explorer - I get a window that mentions internet settings. Before that window came up I saw something to the effect of c:windowssystem 32 error.
