Recently, I installed the latest NVIDIA display drivers. However, I didn't uninstall my previous drivers, and when i remembered that i have to, i did...but after i had installed the latest drivers. And that's when the problem seemed to start. I looked on the Add/Remove programs list to see if the latest drivers were there, but there was nothing there. I couldn't find them on the list anywhere. So I tried reinstalling them, and when they were being installed, i got a message saying: "Windows could not load the installer for display. Contact your hardware vendor for assitsance."

Here are the hardware/software specs: Right now, the laptop either doesn't connect at all, or only very briefly. We've used both the Linksys networking software and the Windows one.However, it works fine when we don't have security setup, so I'm thinking it has something to do with this. We're using WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption. We don't want to have to leave our computers unsecured.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSince upgrading to Windows XP Service Pack 2, my network adapter (a 3Com 3C905-TX-M)does not appear in Device Manager and I therefore can't get this computer to appear on my home network. The network adapter is still working because that's how I connect to the Internet, via LAN to a router then cable broadband,and IPCONFIG gives valid results including the correct IP address from the router via DHCP.I installed a clean copy of XP Home on a spare hard disk. The network adapter appeared in Device Manager and the computer appeared on the network. I then upgraded to SP2 and the network adapter disappeared from Device Manager and the computer no longer appears on the network.

I decided to give it a run, so I started the repair process. And of course, as soon as I did, I realized I was on the WRONG INSTALLATION (mine, which was working - not my friend's)! The operation hadn't yet started - at least according to the progress bar - and the screen said something like, "Setup is loading" or "Setup is preparing" or something like that.

Sort of XP and also ME. I have two usb wireless adapters and an ADSL router. Both of the computers have access to the router but i am trying to network them together without the router. One is a laptop with windows xp and a BT Voyager 1055 adapter: http://www.shop.bt.com/invt/cbw177The other is a desctop with windows ME and a belkin wireless adapter: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6766647.htm, I have created a network using the belkin supplied software called 'lan' using no encryption for the time being for ease of use. I have the picked up this network on the laptop and connected. I have assigned them both ip addresses that are alike except the last digit and have then gone 'run > command > ping (ip)' from each. They both get a response but i cannot access the documents folders.

I'm trying to connect from my desktop to my laptop using RDC. They are both on my home network. When I RDC into my laptop, I get the login screen as I expected, login, and I'm in.for about two seconds. After that, the connection hangs and eventually RDC drops me
When I log into the laptop itself, the wireless connection icon in the bottom right shows "acquireing network address" for a second, finds it, and then the laptop is on the network again. I'm assuming that when I do RDC into the laptop and the desktop takes over, the network adapter on the laptop thinks it's time to sleep or disable, and drops off the lan. I confirmed this by doing a ping fromthe desktop to the laptop. Before RDC, no problem. After the RDC connection hands, I can't ping the laptop anymore. Once I log into the laptop itself, I can ping the laptop from the desktop
where to find MN-520 Wireless Adapter Driver?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed a wireless adapter, it worked for4 days , then XP gives an error that 'xpdoes not recognize the item connected to the usb and that it has malfunctioned. I replaced the wirless adapter 3 times and even went to another vendor and it still says that. It claims that there is no driver, but when I install the software it says the driver is there. IF I delete the unknown device, it puts a driver in but the unit will not even light up.
I ran a registry cleanup fromlinksys and it was suppose to get rid of all the drivers but it still does not work. I changedto Netgear and it does the same thing.
I recently purchased Madden 2005 for the pc, I have always used a PS2 controller with a adapter to use it on my pc, but now I am having problems configing it with my ps2 controller. My adapter came w/ just a driver no software. Is there any universal software that I could use that could possibly make it so I could revamp what keys are assigned to which button. If you buy a logitech controller, it comes w/ software to change which button is considered button "1" and "2" etc...Im looking for something like that, that you could use with this adapter, like I said something universal.

View 2 Replies View RelatedPlease redirect, if necessary to get my XP to installon a Rosewill RC200 IDE adapter.I'm not using RAID but the Rosewill RAID card which gets me past some bad IDE channels on the mainboard.The install is being done on old gear because I have not used XP before and am doing trial benchwork.The big problem seems to be XP finding the correct file and reading it from the Rosewill floppy disk.The file is called pnp680r.sys and the error message repeatedly says "cannot copy file etc."Previous installs using Win2000 Pro have read the necessary setup file easily.What I'm wondering is if there is some setup on the card and its BIOS/RAID set info for one drive ( a Western Digital 30G on NTFS) that I haven't completed properly and so XP cannot find the info read in by the floppy.

I strongly suspect serious registry damage, but none of the three highly rated registry utilities I have used have been able to fix the problem.

I need to know how to change the name of a Network Adapter, specifically the Hamachi one. When going to Network Connections, under the Hamachi connection it states its Network Adapter name (also shown as this in Device Manager); Hamachi Network InterfaceI need to change Hamachi Network Interface to anything else, other than Hamachi Network Interface, Lets rename it to Local VPN.I have altared all instances of the name Hamachi Network Interface located in the registry (literally searched for it, and replaced all values and names that stated it with Local VPN instead of Hamachi Network Interface), I even changed all instances within the driver itself, reinstalled the driver, and it still would not altar the name to Local VPN.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have recently acquired a Dell Studio 1555 laptop with the above configuration. My OS(and drivers) were partialy instaled by the seller. Now here is the problem. After I installed the network lan and wireless adapter(using the dell official drivers), I noticed that IE doesn't work. As I'm a Firefox person myself I just let it pass, but then I noticed that other things like the Java Runtime online installer, Yahoo messanger online installer, Blizzard downloader, Yahoo messanger itself(I got the full kit downloaded and installed it), don't work. The message is the similar on all of them: check if your firewall or your internet settings do not forbid access to X. Clearly, the firewall is off and the security settings are checked and shouldn't be a problem. So I got back to the internet explorer, thinking that all these are somehow related. I "used diagnostic tool" then "view log".
