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.
Two computers running windows xp professional and each computer has 3 different NIC cards. 1 wireless, 1 wired through switch and 1 wired directly. I used the network setup wizard to configure file sharing however neither computer can see the other's shared folders. The only firewall running is the default windows firewall. I suspect it has something to do with the different NIC cards and it is trying to find shared folders using the wireless as opposed to through the LAN.
i set up network setup wizard which led to csnw show in the control panel moreover now the way i log in and log off has also changed and when i start my comp it asks for a password.when i press ctrl alt and delete together instead og task manager opening a window security sumthing opens up i want to restore my log in and log off to normal state and delete the csnw **** and restore the task manager.

I just purchased a certified used Lenovo laptop, 3000 C200, 8922-2FU. On booting up, the Client Security Setup Wizard comes up and it has no place to click where you can tell it not to come up again. I do not want to use this feature so each time I have to click cancel and then again click, yes I am sure. Very frustrating. I have tried everything. I called tech support but they did not know so they are researching it and said they would call back.
Windows XP network wizard wants me to create a floppy disc to use on other machines on my home network. Problem is I have a media card reader that shows as four separate drives under My computer but no floppy disc drive.The network wizard only gives me the option of creating a disc on one of the four media card drives.I can't even browse for another drive.

Please make sure that the Network Connections service is enabled and running.
What is Windows Starter Edition ? I just got a laptop with xp starter edition on it. It seems that there are a few things that I cannot change in this windows like the windows theme and users etc.Is this a kind of limited windows because I cannot even setup a network on the pc.
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.
I don't know exactly where to post this because I have two issues.I setup a network to share the internet connection and the only personal computer I am experiencing trouble with is the one running windows XP Home the others are running XP pro.Is there something wrong with XP home. I can't get my adapter to work with the personal computer running XP home but one of the personal computer running XP pro has no trouble. I also have a printer that will not work with the XP home.
An error has prevented the Microsoft Security Essentials Installation Wizard from continuing.Please restart your computer and try again.I have tried all the malicious software, antimalware, Windows Defender, Windows Protecion Center, you name it.
I want to migrate data from my old computer (98) to my new computer (XP) via serial cable. To do that I need to create a "Wizard Disk" for my old computer. I'm trying to use "File and Settings Transfer Wizard" on my new computer to create the Wizard CD, but that program doesn't recognize my CD-RW/DVD drive (E. The dropdown list used to select the output device includes choices for only F, G, H, and I, my 8-in-1 media drives. How can I get it to write to my CD on drive E?
I have got a problem with formatting my PC. Everytime I try to fromat it, it gives me a message (Setup was unable to fromat the partition. this disk may be damaged. If the disk is SCSI disk, make sure your SCSI devices are properly terminated). But i have tried about 6 different hard disks but still giving me the same message.
Somtimes I am able to fromat it but when the system does the first reboot after deleting the files, it starts the whole process all over again
I turned on my laptop and got the following message: "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGSYSTEM You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-ROM. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair." My problem is that I'm unable to location the original Setup CD-ROM. Can this CD be ordered from the manufacturer? Also, whenever this Setup CD is required to repair, will My Documents be effected?
I am running: Windows XP Home Edition SP3 Pentium 4 2.0 ghz 512 ram ATI 8500 32.7 Gig HD Spac I keep getting error message "set up is unable to find a HD location to store temp files. Make at least 898KB available. What setting should I use and where is this setting?
I have been using this PC without any problem for 6 months. I wanted to reinstall my Windows XP on my PC and tried to booting up with a bootable Windows XP_SP2 Prof CD(first boot is CD ROM). But to my surprise, the setup process in not taking place. I am getting a grey blank screen(instead of windows setup screen) after this message "Setup is inspecting your Computer's Hardware configuration".This is the case only with the Windows XP bootable CD. I have tried to boot with different WinXP CDs, but of no use. However, I am able to boot with Win 98, Win 2000 and even with Win 2003 via boot CDs.I am suspecting whether there is any problem with the motherboard, as I was able to install Windows XP Pro before on the same PC.
When booting from an old Windows 98 bootdisk to install Windows XP (with slipstreamed SP1) I allways got this message: "Setup was unable to copy cdrom.sys".The problem was known at Microsoft (knowledge base) and they even got a solution for it (dude!).In the config.sys on your disk there will be a line somewhat like this: "device= /d:cdrom" simply change the cdrom to something else like : "device=..... /d:DVDRAM" and it will work.
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.
I am trying to do a repair on IE 6.0 but I cannot get into windows add remove programs. I keep getting the error posted in the subject line. It tell me to contact the system admin. I am the Admin.

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 have a HP laptop that once ran on Vista. This summer before I left for college,I decided that it was finally time to downgrade to XP,seeing as I had backed up everything, and classes would be starting in a week.So I did the usual thing. Insert CD, restart computer,"A problem has been detected, and Windows has shut down...."Blue Screen of Death. The Stop Message: 0x0000007B (0xF78D254, 0x00000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)

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.
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.
