A download manager is recommended for downloading multiple files. Would you like to install the Microsoft Download Manager? Generally, a download manager enables downloading of large files or multiples files in one session.
Many web browsers, such as Internet Explorer 9, include a download manager. Stand-alone download managers also are available, including the Microsoft Download Manager. The Microsoft Download Manager solves these potential problems. It gives you the ability to download multiple files at one time and download large files quickly and reliably.
It also allows you to suspend active downloads and resume downloads that have failed. Holy crap! It took me about three minutes to find it! Then, after the reboot, the Compaq logo appeared, but it was white, not red. So as I'm wondering when the red one is going to show up I realized that Windows was already starting up, so I have to restart it again. Windows starts up again. So another restart, and this time I try holding down F10, because there's a message on the screen that says something about holding down F10 to get some kind of setup menu.
So when the menu appears I start looking around for this "last known good configuration" thing they said to look for. But it's nowhere to be found. So at this point I'd decided I'd wasted about enough time with Compaq tech support, who obviously haven't got a clue about how their products actually work, and with this cocked-up abortion of an operating system. So I told my father-in-law that the obvious solution to his problem was to return this POS laptop and go get a MacBook.
The next time someone tells me they're having trouble with a Windows computer I'm just going to say, "I'm sorry to hear that. That's interesting.
I remember seeing that option somewhere, and it was checked, but I thought IP v6 support should be standard on any new laptop. Macs have had it for years. They're useless. They don't even list this model on their site.
I swear there is no EF or EM on the sticker on this machine or in the system info in firmware. It's not. I can see it on the Mac in the Airport menu. I don't even have to run Kismet to see it. But in Vista, it keeps telling me that the settings aren't valid for a network. Vista cna see the network but not connect to it.
It really wants me to import the settings using a USB flash drive, so I did that. I also tried every entry manually. The settings that work on XP and are exported to my flash drive or printout for manual entry are:. In Vista, however, these options aren't selectable this way.
For instance, with an open network authentication type, WEP is not a selectable option. Key index is driven to 1, 2, 3, or 4, but not a zero or blank. How can I connect from Vista to a working encrypted wireless network, that it can see, that my XP computes can connect to?
I've tried every option of every menu multiple times. I even tried to reset my router back to store values to start unencrypted and start fresh, but I could get it to that either. I was lucky to get back to where I was. Windows Zero Connect was no help either. Any ideas? As many things can contribute to wireless connection issues, the most commoon items I found that causes wireless problems are:.
One of the most common sources of wireless connection problems is interference operating at the same frequency as cordless phones, baby monitor, etc…. If you are running a firewall make sure it's not blocking access to the router. If it is, enable it so Vista can see it. XP and Vista are not the same.
If you had a wireless card that used to work on XP and now it won't work on Vista, it may be incompatible with Vista driver only works on XP. Try using a different adapter. I fixed it! Thanks for the tips. I had pretty much checked all this but it inspired me to run a step-by-step systematic diagnostic of my own.
Maybe this will help someone else. I connected the laptop to the router with a hard LAN cable so I could maintain control of the router while troubleshooting the wireless connection. First I disabled all firewalls to confirm that there was no interference, which there wasn't. Then I took the router down to an unencrypted basic state to confirm it would connect via the wireless adapter, which it would. I then turned back on the Norton Internet Security firewalls, and connectivity was still good.
I then increased encryption on the router one step at a time, matching the settings on the wireless network properties. I went to WEP with a hexadecimal key, and got good connectivity. I then increased to digit WEP and reestablished a good connection.
I then went to WPA personal successfully. The frustrating thing was, aside from the time I spent figuring this out, was that nowhere did I see this idea of step-by-step increases in encryption or suggestions to reduce it. No user guides, no help pages, not the manufacturer. The best help was this forum and the Linksys router guide I downloaded. Thank you. I have solved my problem and hopefully someone else will benefit from my experience. That's great news!
The valuable information you provided, should help out a lot more Vista users with wireless network problems. As you experienced, sometimes it just takes a little more digging to solve these pesky problems. I have a desktop running XP and a laptop running Vista. The desktop is wired to the Netgear router and the laptop connects wirelessly to the router. The two computers share a printer and this works too. It all works but when I click on the little icons on the Vista laptop to see what wireless networks are available, there appears to be two.
The other says it is an un-named and unsecure network. There is nothing I can do to connect to this unnamed network. If I turn off the wireless operation of my router, both these apparent networks dissappear. I have WEP security enabled. What is going on? What is this second network? And can I get rid of it. It must be coming from my router I guess. More than likely the 2nd network is from your neighbor and somehow your Netgear router is picking it up.
When I see odd things like that on my Network, I know it's time to change all security settings on the router…you may want to do the same thing. Nope, I do not believe is not a neighbour. I do see other networks, but this unsecure un-named one dissappears if I turn off the wireless operation of my router. Surely that means it is something to do with my router.
Any external network should still show up on the laptop shouldn't it? I think it's the remnant of when you had your network up before. I found that when I changed the name of my network, the old name stayed as a viable option to select — even though the router was no longer transmitting that name.
Try turning on broadcast mode again until you have everything solved. Change the name to something else so you can tell which is which, and use WPA.
Then, if you find an old network that isn't "real" anymore, delete it by using the REMOVE option when you have all available networks showing. Ken Croft — look like you are not the only Netgear user who has encountered this. Disabling SSID broadcast only disables broadcasting the name.
The network will still be announced but no one will be able to connect to it. Looks like you may not need to worry about it. Many thanks to you all. This was very helpful to know that I am not alone and that it is just a quirk of the Netgear router. Just one more though, for Steve. Presumably this is in a menu somewhere in Vista? Thanks again Ken. Select Manage Wireless Networks. All the networks will be displayed — those your computer's wireless can see, and those it has ever chosen before such as hotels or airports, in case it ever sees them again.
Select the network that you no longer want. The Change Adapter button becomes the Remove button green minus sign , available to be selected. Select Remove. That network is removed from the list of available networks. Good luck. My laptop detects the D-Link router when I open "select a newtwork to connect to",but shows a red cross.
It then tells me that the security settings in Vista do not match those for D-link. Any ideas. If you do, then you will need to configure the wireless adapter with the encryption settings on your laptop.
I'm not sure if this is a similar issue. No issues connecting with unsecure networks. My problem is I can't access the internet if there is a security password requirement. I never am prompted to enter the Network key. Something is probably set wrong on my system but I can't find a setting to force a password prompt if there is a secure access point. Please, someone, help. At first I was able to "connect" but with limited access meaning no internet connection … I then disabled my router security and retried — I was then able to connect with no problem.
Or you can open Network and Sharing center select Manage Wireless Networks from left pane , right click on the Network, select properties and check the box to Connect Automatically.
What do I do when the connect to a network says "the settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network.
I have an issue with Vistas' wireless network settings. I have to continually connect to the router manually. I have the same issue as Steve. Everytime I boot my laptop, I need to specify the network name, the security key and the type of encryption.
Despite checking the 'Start this connection automatically' box, it does not save the settings. Do you have any resource material that covers this type of issue?
