Wireless Issue - Can't Start Computer
Dec 23, 2007
So I was having wireless issues (see thread http://forums.techguy.org/networking...ss-issues.html). I tried starting up my computer in Safe Mode with Networking as suggested. I tried the F8 method, but it kept looping me back to the screen with the options of Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Safe Mode with command Prompt and Start Windows Normally.Since that didn't work, I tried the MSConfig method and now it keeps looping through and won't let me startup my computer (I am posting from another computer at my parent's).

My problem is : When I called Verizon yesterday, I was told that to connect the printer to the router, I do not need the print server. I was asked to locate the ethernet port at the back of my printer, plug the ethernet port cable and connect it to the Verizon router. Unfortunately, my printer does not have an ethernet port. I was told to call HP,and I did but did not get much help.What should I do to get my wireless printer work? I have a PC and a laptop. Prior to Verizon, I have a DSL and Vonage, both routers and print server did not have the same problem.

I took my daughters Gateway M320 laptop and did a restore from the CDs that came with the laptop. After doing all the Microsoft Updates, ALL the wireless driver installs from Gateway there is no 'Wireless Network Connection' icon. I have also checked Device Manager and there is no wireless adapter. Before this exercise she was running wireless fine. It does work 'hard wired' but no wireless icon.

I'm running XP Pro and have installed wireless cards in my PC and laptop. They seem to be communicating with excellent signal strength. I've run the network setup wizard on each machine and setup a home network called 'Mshome'. I've restarted both machines. In My network places, there is a network called Mshome. When I try to view workgroup computers, the only machine listed is the one I'm currently using - I can't access the other one.

I just installed Windows XP Pro SP2 on my laptop and I think that it isn't recognizing my wireless card. Its in-built into the laptop, but I'm looking at my device manager and its not seeing a wireless adapter.I need to upgrade to a newer version of Windows.

I have a question if someone can answer it for me. I have a laptop running windows xp and i want to access it from my university computer to do programming n stuff. I am using my landlords wireless connection. I tried to use the windows xp remote desktop connection but i think due to the firewall settings of the router, it won't let me conect to it. I was wandering if there is a way to connect to my computer without asking my landlord to change some setting in the router or something.

We have two laptops and one wireless (HP Photosmart C7280) printer. Our laptops both connect to the internet wirelessly through a router. I was able to install and can print wirelessly from my laptop (a Mac) with no problems. However, we cannot figure out how to print wirelessly from my boyfriend's laptop (a Dell). We have installed the printer software and the printer itself on his laptop, and the laptop is able to identify the wireless printer over the network. We made sure that the printer is set to "online" and that file/printer sharing is turned on. But, whenever we go to print any kind of a file, we get an error message simply stating that the printer was unable to print and that we should run the troubleshooter. So, we run the troubleshooter, and we get this message:"The troubleshooter was not able to ping (detect a connection with) your print server. This might be the cause of the problem. Verify that your network is configured correctly and that you are connected to the network."
I am more used to working with Macs and my boyfriend is computer illiterate, so we're a bit lost as to what this means. I was able to set up a wireless network connection on his laptop, but beyond that I'm not sure what else to do. Most of the other advice I've seen online involves a wireless printer that is wired to one computer, and another laptop trying to wirelessly access that printer through the connected computer...if that makes any sense. Our printer isn't wired to anything, and we just can't figure out why it'll print wirelessly on the Mac but not on the Dell laptop. Any ideas?

Does anyone happen to know how to successfully create a network in Windows XP Pro for a wireless laptop and for an Ethernet-hooked-up (non-wireless) computer. I'm trying to printer and file share the two together BUT I've exhausted myself in trying to make it happen. Has anyone successfully done this? Am I missing something? Perhaps hardware?I would truly appreciate any help or advice.

If i log onto my computer and just go into network connections, the computer is not able to look for wireless networks. if i hit the button to find networks, it gives me some strange error message. i have noticed though that i can fix the problem if i manually go into services and start the wireless zero configuration service myself. i configured this service to start automatically, and to keep restarting if attempts to start fail, but for whatever reason, the service does not start on its own when i boot the computer. once i start the service, i am able to connect without any problems.
The error message i get says something about finding more than one wirless device. i have a belkin usb wireless card, and before i installed the one i have now, i had another that coincidentally was the same size and also made by belkin. thinking that maybe some software was still on the computer, causing it to find both, and consequently not being able to connect to either, i uninstalled all the software for both routers and deleted all the related program files off of the computer. then i reinstalled and...got the same exact problem.

I have FINALLY got to the bottom of why my PC is freezing, after weeks of trial and error. It runs perfectly normally when I unplug the Belkin USB Wireless adapter. Is there a way of repairing this? Do I need to download something to stop it from happening?

Im new, so bear with me please. The problem is on my old Sony Viao Model PCG-6H4L XP. I wanted to start fresh and the recovery system for windows gives me only a limited number of dates. I thought that the Viao recovery would do the job.I was wrong. I haven't checked recent forums about problems with this, so I went ahead and broke my laptop. Before the Recovery system starts, my laptop says, with a black background.

I am new to this form, so I guess I will just start. I have a,Dell Dimesion p4 2.5 ghz or close?windows XP service pac 2.I use it mostly for college papers and the internet. no gaming.It's about two years old, always do the windows updates.Three days ago my computer was running great. Then for whatever reason it just shut off by itself. I started it back up, it was fine for about 1 day then it shut down. I tried to start it again, but, to no avail.I got a screen that had rows of color bars with numbers in them.I opened up the box, it was pretty dusty, so I cleaned it up.I started to resolve the problem by checking to see if the ram was bad. I took one bar out and tried to restart after each ram chip. the result was the dell logo comes on tries to start no more color bars ( the fan starts out fine then takes off real fast) then it shuts (all power) down. I try, when I power on to tap the f8 key, or f12 key to get into the bios it shuts down befor anything can happen. I think that is it. I want to thank anyone for there time in helping me resolve this problem.

I have two computers with "issues", and now it's gotten so bad, I just need to get them sorted out. This is "my" desktop. I don't think I have had a thread on it before. But my daughter uses it for school and surfing and I have a feeling where my kids surf, it's infecting our computers.

I was using my computer one day when i had been playing a game.I took out the game cd so i could start using different cd for something else but strangely i went to my computer and it still showed the game cd as being in the drive. I thought well no problem ill just restart the computer and it should be fine. I did, and when i logged in, a new problem. All of my desktop was missing, and it had been loading for a few minutes so i just cut it off again and turned it back on in hope that it would finally work correctly. Instead, the opposite happened When i turned it back on for the 2nd time, it went to the screen where it says "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully." So, i have the option of choosing safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, last good configuration, or normally. Unfortunately, not a single one of them work.

A few years ago, we had a hard drive on the family computer replaced.At that time, we could turn on the computer, and do everything we normally could.However, it was extremely slow, due to a virus.Best Buy simply recommended a replacement, since the computer was out of warranty.Yesterday I get the bright idea to try that harddrive on my personal computer, not the one it came from. I figured if it only had a virus on it, I could reformat it, and just use it as extra space.So I hook it up, and turn on my computer.The Compaq screen pops up, and goes away.Then a new screen pops up saying that the Hard Drive Failure was imminent, and I should back up my files, and replace the harddrive. That was not the error which I had received a few years ago. It gives me the option to hit F1 for setup, or hit F2 to continue. The F1 key simply took me to the Bios. So I hit F2, and my bootloader booted up. (Ubuntu Linux bootloader with Windows XP. However, I'm thinking about ditching Ubuntu, as I never use it.) However, it was so slow, I wasn't about to continue. After waiting for about 2 minutes, I decided to turn my computer off, disconnect the HD I was installing, and just go back to the old way I had it.(That part of the bootloader should load in about 3 seconds when everything is working fine.)So I turn off my computer, disconnect the power, and rehook everything up as it was before. I turn it back on, and it was as if the old hard drive is still in there.

Every time I try to start my computer (Running Windows XP) it seems to do fine until just before it reaches the log-on screen. A blue screen flashes really fast that says something to the effect of "Physical Memory Dumped". It flashes to fast for me to read it completely, but that's the jist of it. After the flashing screen the computer restarts and continues in that loop.I tried a start up disk from another computer but that didn't do anything.
