X201 running Windows 7 Home Premium problem with wireless network adaptor

my x201 shows that my wireless is on and my wireless network is available. it keeps trying to connect but is not able to hold a connection (continuously trying and failing). i'm on windows 7, 32 bit, home premium. i downloaded the latest update for the intel wireless today but it's still not working. any ideas?

1) This could be a software problem, so try to uninstall the Wireless card software, and reinstall.
2) If that fails, then try to do an OS reinstall.
3) If OS reinstall fails, then it is a hardware problem, which most likely you need it replaced (if you are under warranty, then call the warranty support, if not then you can source a Lenovo branded wireless card for your machine).

New Computer 64 Bit W7 Home Premium - problem with Ext HD E/: says in use

Brand new computer with Windows Home Premium 7 64 bit and then added this ext HD and downloaded clean new install of programs.[Now this Toshiba was E drive on previous computer which started life as XP Home and ended as Windows Premium 7 32 bit and brought
across the data. But Easy Transfer Wizard back up was corrupt. Luckily had cut and pasted as a precaution having always suffered bad backups.]
But problems arising with browsers not working correctly etc vendors say messages incorrect like windows saying re Pale Moon x64 clean install from web working then closing that its settings should be XP when the creator on being asked said was created for
W7 never XP and check for problems elsewhere. IE11 problematic too as well as Opera, Chrome and Firefox so tracked down to below or do complete re-install of system. OS is authenticated as genuine by M$. Scans MSE, SAS, Malawarebyes clean.
Ever since I installed the Ext HD a Toshiba 500B USB3.0 & 2.0 it has appeared and then disappeared on Devices & printers when there says 3.0 device checking properties unknown bu recognizes it as Toshiba.
I used it to bring over data from old computer which it did. Also for backup. Checking first backup - nonsense all data is different displays of IE11 start ups. Nothing else. Now deleted. Windows also said not compatible.And windows is continually
loading drivers to this device. I think that is what is the cause of its disappearance - shut down and boot sometimes back, sometimes not. Yet scanners find it when when not available.
OK so now how do I get Windows 7 to eject the drive and then try to put it on and get it recognized and working correctly. Because it could be why also backup corrupt. I have formatted it now and transferred all needed over to C Drive. I am not sure what
happens with this re drivers - it came without any software say plug and play and drag and drop ready for use with Windows.
If I can get this working correctly it will save me a complete re-install. As hate to do that and then find same problem with the External Drive. AfAIK no problems with it formatted now and ready to go and no bad areas.
Has to be this continual bringing down of a driver and fact checking Windows cant find it on list of compatibles. Vendor says it is.

Thanks I had already run Check disc and contacted Toshiba and it has correct driver. Definitely a problem with the actual system disc.
I have also completed website asking for my model to be added to compatible sites and just have to hope seeing as no direct contact available, must be only company in the world that gets away with that.
Managed to work around the E/: problem by adding it to Libraries and then cut and pasted the whole date files and photos ready for new disc.
Backup simply is corrupted so also the wizard to find new device- wont search or load and greyed out, so have arranged with manufacturer for a new disc - the one I should have bought at the time instead of using the upgrade.
With the Device & Printer device it says I have the keyboard 3000, a compliant mouse and and a HID keyboard device as well as M$ wireless transceiver and of course a 3.0 unknown device which is E Drive. So along with monitor and computer tower
7.
The keyboard is wired via a USB and only the mouse is wireless via the transceiver. So what the HID keyboard device is is a mystery too. So problem there in that wizard too. Plus had to uninstall Mouse/Keyboard ?Centre which improved the performance of the
mouse as 1 setting not 2.

T520 problem with Wireless Network Connection Adaptors

I was in Windows 7 Device Manager's Network Connections trying to fix a minor WIFI problem by uninstalling the drivers and then scanning for hardware changes to reinstall them. I uninstalled a driver that the scan didn't pick up to reinstall, and I didn't write down its name. Now the WIFI does not work at all. I've updated the two drivers left in Network Adapters:
Intel 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection for my ethernet
Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN for my WIFI
Does anyone know the name of the wireless driver I uninstalled? Does the 520 require two wireless network adaptor drivers? Can't seem to find info on it anywhere!
What I've done:
I ran Intel's PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility diagnostic tools. The hardware test fails saying "Wireles Hardware is not boudn to transport driver". The Driver Test passed saying "Driver is loaded. Netwsw00 Version: 15.4.1.1. The Radio Test failed saying "Failure geting network radio status!". After that the Scant Test, Asociation Test, Authentificaiton Test, Siganl Test and Ping Test all failed.
Installed every 64 bit LAN wireless network adaptor driver I could find in the T520 section of Lenovo's site
Any assistance appreciated. I'm a bit of a noob.
Thanks

HP 175nw Problems with Wireless Network Connection - Mac OS X 10.8.3

Please help!
I have an HP 175nw, from one day to the next it decided it was no longer going to connect to the wirless connection.
I run a Mac on 0S X 10.8.3.
I can't find the installation software (the whole software not just the driver) on the web and the CD is worthless b/c this is a Mac.
I installed the printer on my windows laptop and it works fine, it connected to the wireless network using the setting sets on my laptop, it now prints wireless no problem, but not with the Mac.
I have plugged the printer directly into the Mac but the Mac doesn't even seem to recognize it. The printer shows up on my printer list but when I try to print or scan from it the Mac says the printer is offline.
I need this printer/scanner for work desperately, Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

First, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907

Safari and Firefox problems with wireless network

I have seen similar questions to mine on the forums recently. Here's my story: I have 5 month old Mac Book with Leopard, no airport extreme, just the inbuilt Airport card. I connec through the internet with Netgear. I have been on to Apple support who went through all the checks, nothing wrong they say, and suggest I contact Netgear. This I did, rebooted router, switched on/off, updated firmware. And still the same problems - pages ultra slow to load, messages saying I am not connected to the internet but running network diagnostics informs me I am. I have to resend pages three times to get them to load. It's driving me nuts. A couple of things then: should I check the box for 'remember password in keychain' when I'm loggin on to my own secure network? Maybe the keychain not remembering is slowing it down. I also read that with one of the key chain updates (I update automatically so I presume I did this some time back) the airport card might not work, and safe restart is required. Do I need to do this?
I know Apple don't take responsibility for third party equipment, like the Netgear router, but my mac worked amazingly with the internet until about 2 weeks ago, and I have updated everything with Netgear. Any ideas?

I believe the WebKitPlugInHost needs to be updated for Safari as It crashes whenever I am playing FarmVille on FaceBook.

Major problems with Wireless Network

Hi,I currently have a network that has 7 Cisco aironet 1200 devices on it.(2 of which are repeaters)The network has been stable for months untill recently..At random times different waps will just go down. They will occasionally come back on themselves but I usually have to do a power cycle. Also sometimes they will just not accept clients, again until a power cycle.We have 2 main devices that generally have around 15 devices on each. This morning one of them had 25 clients, and the other had 4. Then when I checked later this had been reversed.When the waps go down, there is nothing that jumps out in the logs(to me anyhow) some "Interface Dot11Radio0, Deauthenticating Station Reason: Disassociated because sending station is leaving (or has left) BSS" messagesAny tips on what could be wrong or where to look first?Its doing my head in..Cheers

Are you in a large office complex? Any chance some network admin in an adjacent building/floor just installed a system that can terminate your APs as if they are rogues? Have you ran any tools to look at interference? Have you tried running a packet sniffer?

Huge problems with wireless, would need some help

Sorry for the bad topic, and sorry for my english.
And now the problem.
I have just bought my first laptop, and got almost everything to play nice in arch, except the wireless.
My card is a Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (iwl3945), and i have a Dlink 524 router (abg).
Using WAP, but can change this if its help.
Right now I'am using NetworkManager (0.6.5-3 from rep) and KNetworkManager (from AUR), and it works very very bad.
It can't connect at startup (or atleast it doesn't...), it takes several attempts to get a connection, it drops the connection and dont reconnect when it does, and so on. Its almost unusable and force me to use wired a connection just to be sure to be able to write this.
After what i read in different forums and mailinglists, there seems to be a lot of problems with wireless at the moment?
Anyone got this combination to work fine? Or are there any other way of configuration i should try? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

I've had a lot of problems with wireless networking for several weeks recently, ever since I upgraded vanilla kernel26 from v.2.6.22 to v.2.6.23 (see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=40145). I'm using the Windows driver bcmwl5 for the Broadcom 4311 chipset via Ndiswrapper, and I'm using WPA-PSK (TKIP) encryption. I also use a D-Link DI-524 router. What finally cured the problem was to install the new wicd (v.1.3.1) network manager which is now in extra and to set up all networking interfaces in that GUI, abandoning using Arch network profiles and all the detailed setup in /etc/rc.conf.
My /etc/rc.conf now only contains (I'm only showing entries pertinent to networking)
MODULES=(ndiswrapper capability sg acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_performance cpufreq_powersave)
HOSTNAME="RFDellLT"
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @nfslock @nfsd @netfs @crond !network hal cpufreq portmap wicd sshd cups alsa @openntpd privoxy)
i.e. no more INTERFACES, not even "lo", gateway, ROUTES, NET_Profiles. Everything is set up through wicd. You only need to put the wicd daemon in the DAEMONS array (after hal which also loads dbus), and the network daemon isn't needed anymore. Also you should uninstall any other networkmanager.
To put the wicd icon in the system tray, create a shell script (give it any name) in the .kde/Autostart/ directory in your home directory (if you use KDE, otherwise do the equivalent thing for any other DE/WM) that contains the command /usr/lib/wicd/tray.py.
You may want to try wicd, perhaps it'll fix your problem. It certainly has gotten good press in this forum.

How to Install Windows 7 Home Premium (32bit) with No legacy option in BIOS setting. Just UEFI. in Acer Aspire E1-410 ?

I just broke my older Acer Aspire 4752G.
I just backup entire Partition my Windows 7 Home Premium (32bit) with Acronis True Image Home 2014 BootCD Premium.
intend to restore in this brand new Acer Aspire E1-410.
Acer Aspire E1-410 don't have Legacy Option only UEFI
Acronis True Image Home 2014 BootCD Premium fully support EUFI but alas my Original Windows don't boot
So I intend to use repair BootRec command prompt
These CD Windows won't detect in these Acer
So I call Acer Technical Support They said :
there is NO OTHER WAY to change this UEFI to LEGACY MODE (Build-in Bios mode CANNOT change other than UEFI)
you must install via DVD who FULLY SUPPORT UEFI -> Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 (ONLY in x64bit mode).
I hope you can resolve these for me.
Thank you.

It is possible to install Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit from DVD to a UEFI based hardware, but must be done using an answer file. It may or may not work if you are using a recovery DVD. Either way, the OS is not supported on that hardware.
Windows 8 32bit is supported on UEFI hardware.
The problem with Win7 32bit on UEFI is a problem in the bootloader. The OS cannot boot because the bootloader cannot find the OS. I had suspected it may be possible to get the OS to boot by using BCDBoot, but since it isn't supported I have not put in any
effort to determine the method of doing it.

Save and quit feature not working on FF4. Always worked in Firefox 3.6.Running Vista home premium

When I close firefox 4 the option to save the open tabs is not offered. Only choice is to cancel or close tabs. Running vista home premium. Only extensions are adblocl plus and image zoom

You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get back the previous session. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Another possibility is to use:
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle with a double left-click.
* browser.showQuitWarning, see http://blog.zpao.com/post/3174360617/about-that-quit-dialog
* browser.tabs.warnOnClose, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
* browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
* browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Problems with Wireless Router and Adapter

I tried posting this in the wireless adapter forum but nobody responded :-(
I'm using a WRT54G Router btw, and the firmware is v2.02.7, Feb. 27, 2004.
Hi everyone,
I have a Linksys Wireless G Router and several computers that I try to connect with. One of them is a computer running Windows XP and using a Linksys Wireless USB B Adapter (WUSB11). Another is a laptop running Mandriva Linux using a Linksys Instant Wireless Network PC Card (WPC11). Another one is running Windows Vista and using a Linksys Wireless N card. I also have a laptop running Windows XP using a Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter (WPC54G). I also have another PC running Windows XP and uses a Linksys Wireless USB Adapter WUSB54G. Finally, I have two macintosh laptops running OSX and with airport devices installed.
Anyway, I have problems with my internet connection frequently being interrupted and even sometimes I won't have a connection at all for hours. This occurs with my Linux laptop, the PC with the Wireless B Adapter, and the laptop using the Wireless G Notebook Adapter. In addition to this, the macintosh laptops have internet even more infrequently. However, I seem to never have a problem with the Windows Vista desktop or the Windows XP desktop that has the Wireless G adapter. I try repairing the connection and often it does not work. I have also tried resetting the router and the cable modem. I'm not sure what else I can do. I even bought a Wireless N router and had little success with that. We even went as far as moving the wireless router upstairs into our living room, thinking that the signal was somehow suffering from interference or that distance was a factor. Anyway, sorry for the long post but I could really use some help!
Thanks.

Hi… logon to wireless N router’s setup page, open I.E. an in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 it would ask for username and password, put "admin" as a paassword (default password) without any username...linksys setup pops up, click on on wireless tab and and try changing radio band to wide 40MHz, wide channel to 9 and wireless standard channel to 1 or 11, go to advanced wireless settings reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304, change N Transmission rate to 270 MBps…also try upgrading latest firmware on router, check whether it makes any difference or not and let me know.

I'm updating my plugins and java platform says Firefox is 32 bit. Is this correct? I'm running Windows7 home premium 64 bit.

At the java update site it says my Firefox 4 is 32 bit and I will have to download both the 32 and 64 bit versions. I have IE9 which is both 32 and 64 bit versions. My primary browser is Firefox 4. My OS is Windows Home premium 64bit. I personally have no problem with the 32 bit but I am curious to know.

Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable program.
If you need to open a local SWF file you will need the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will need to make the file association manually.

Can I change the OS of Touchsmart 610 from Windows Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro?

I have 610 1100me system loaded with Windows Home Premium 64 bit. We bought it from Dubai and is in use in Pakistan. It started giving problems after few weeks of use. Its' hard disk makes noise and sometimes, system could not find boot disk. Most of the times blue screen of death and hanging issues. Any idea about this issue and how to fix it? My observation is that the culprit is hard disk!
Also, can I change its OS to Windows 7 Pro or ultimate (32 or 64 bit)? Where can I find all drivers for Pro or Ultimate?
Many thanks for your valueable advice.
Regards,
KK
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Nearly nothing change interms of drivers required for Windows 7 (HP, Pro, Ultimate) unless you switch from 64 to 32 bit. You can reuse your current HP 64 bit drivers for 64 bit W7 Pro or Ultimate.
