Ath5k making wireless not functional on Windows?

I used to have Windows XP and my AR5007EG worked just fine.
Then, I uninstalled it, stayed just with Arch for some time and now I am dual booting xp and arch.
The thing is: wireless is not functional anymore on XP; it's recognized and the light is blinking but it doesn't find any network (and there's something like ~30 visible from here).
I'm pretty sure this is not a driver problem, since I tried with ~10 driver versions ranging from 5.6 (2007) to 10.0 (2012) and all of them got the same result. And, well, the device used to work with this same version of Windows, with one of those drivers, and it's definitely not broken, since it works under Linux.
I was wondering if it is possible that the ath5k driver on arch is leaving my device on some kind of state/mode, such that it doesn't work properly on Windows?
I'm asking since AFAIK this device doesn't have an open specification and so I really don't trust this ath5k driver, since it was probably done by reverse engineering, I suppose.

Highly doubt it. If you really want to test, you can power down and either remove the battery if a laptop, or unplug if a desktop. Wait 60 sec or so and boot into windows to see if functional.

Do you still have your windows7 install files ?

if yes I fear you have to enable it in win7 and then use it in win8

Windows says "device is not functioning" and "Windows does not recognize"

I lost my USB dock connector cable for my ipod. I just went out today and bought a brand new "Cygnett GrooveLink Strech Retractable USB Cable for iPod". I was pumped when I came home to finally be able to add music to my ipod again, but alas when I plug the iPod in, Windows pops up saying that the device is not functional and that Windows does not recognize it. I tried everything from rebooting the iPod to re-downloading iTunes and iPod updater. After searching this site for the past few hours, I figured I'd try and possibly find some real answers here. Please Help!!

Hey everyone,
I had the same problems all of you are having. I
just got a 5th generation video ipod. For a few
days, my computer a) wouldn't recognize it; b) froze
up when I connected it; c) mistook it for a mass
storage device ("drive E"). I bought a USB 2.0
notebook card which didn't work either and actually
seemed to make the problem worse because when I
connected the iPod to it my computer froze up.
I was very confused because my new iPod worked on my
brother's computer--which is much older than mine but
still recognized the iPod and connected to it.
Then I noticed that my brother's computer is running
an older version of the ipod software. I used his
disk to install "Ipod Updater 2005-06-26" rather than
the new version of the software on the Apple Web
site. Then I plugged my iPod into a USB 1.1 port.
To my surprise, my computer finally recognized the
iPod and is now loading music onto it. I cannot
believe this worked. I wonder if the latest version
of the software is faulty in some way.
Try it! I hope it will work for you too. You will
need an older version of the iPod updater software,
so borrow it from a friend with an older ipod.
I am having this problem also...It will work fine on the 1.1 but when i plug it into the 2.0 it has trouble recognizing it...

I'm the only person that needs to save the Titles?
I do it sometimes when I want to reuse a title in more than one project.
When you export out the Titles, what happens then?
Only then does it become a separate file, suitable for importing into other projects. This is NOT necessary to export your finished video, it's only necessary if you want to reuse the title in other projects.
The Titles are photos and scrolling words, that are used together as a memoriam in different projects. So having the Titles as separate files on the HD is pretty much essential.
That's more than just a title, which in PP usually contains only text. For something this complex, it might be better to create a base project or template that contains all the elements you want to reuse, and then start new projects with that, renaming to a new project name immediately after opening the template.
For example, I have an HD Wedding project that contains all my sequences, graphics and titles ready to go in organized bins. I start by opening that project and do a Save As... using the couple's last name. That way each new project starts with the elements I need and I don't have to recreate them all the time.

S10-3 Wireless - not working with Windows 7

Hi, I bought the S10-3 two days ago and decided to load windows 7 (ultimate). The load was smooth but after I had finished the wireless was not working nut the wireless light on the front of the PC was on. The first strange thing I noticed was Fn5 did not work so the only on/off control I had was on the side switch. I eventually fixed this problem by downloading the driver from the internet , the wireless is the Atheros AR9285. Everything was well and proceeded to download anti-virus and other software.
Then disaster, during the time of downloading windows had also been doing some updates and when the system restarted there is NO WIRELESS.
It appears on boot that the "wireless" light indicator is ON and when windows fires up it goes off, I checked in the boot and it is enabled, I checked the driver again but it is OK but windows says it is not switched ON but I have checked the physical switch and it is ON.
Any ideas appreciated.
edit : correct machine model in postname

Hi and welcome, if all possible is switched on.. did you install the lenovo energymanagement ?
where you can switch (softwarebased) seperately wireless devices... if wifi still isnt work...
you have to bite in a sour apple and install windows 7 from a scratch again ... then first update all via windows updates , then ... install the lenovo energymanagement... , then, look in devicemanager if there is some questionmark ... in normal case there is no need other driver to install...
and all should be working... simply install a antivirus-program.. and all your need other personal stuff...

U430 Touch: wireless not working with windows 7

My friend bought a U430 Touch with Windows 8. He hated Win 8 so I helped him downgrade to Win 7. Now the wireless dowsn't work. Ethernet works fine and we are able to get on the internet, but wireless does not work at all. I've been to Lenovo's site and downloaded the drivers from their support site, but nothing weems to work. Is there a special driver I'm missing?
Solved!

It's possible that they are shipping with Intel only at the moment, but the Hardware Maintenance Manual lists two non-Intel cards: a Liteon, and a "non-Intel", whatever that means.
Just sayin'

Sound not functioning in Windows 7 after Arch install

I installed Arch about a week ago, and since then, I have not had any sound output from my headphone jack in Windows. My speakers work perfectly fine. I have since reinstalled all sound drivers, and even ran a system restore to the time before I installed Arch, but nothing made a difference.
My sound is working perfectly fine in Arch.
My laptop is an Asus K53E.
Information about my audio device:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 1b43
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
Thanks in advance. I assume that the problem is specific to my machine's specs, since googling this issue didn't do much good.

I tested to see if shutting down the system would yeild the same results as removing the battery and it does. If I simply shut down before booting between operating systems, Windows' audio works correctly.
Still, this problem alludes me. Since I have all of gnome's packages cached in pkg, I decided to remove it completely from my system just to check if the problem is associated with gnome. However, the problem persists...unless there are other suggestions, I am going to keep gnome, and simply shut down everytime I want to switch between Arch and Windows, to assure audio functionality.

Wireless not working on windows xp sp2

Hey guys, I just installed windows xp sp2 on my mac, followed all the steps, installed all mac drivers... but i can't connect to my home network... I already rebooted my router, checked the filtering, everything is ok.
My network is available but when i try to connect it says that is not in range, but the signal is full.
Please help me, i really need to fix this
Thanks

Are you using WPA2 for Wireless Security ?
If so, then you need a patch from Microsoft to enable WPA2 with XP SP2, which can be found on Microsofts Download site.
The SP3 for XP has that patch incorporated.

Quicktime 7.1.5 not functioning on window

i've updated quicktime to the latest version which is 7.1.5. later than that i try to watch movie trailer in apple's website a symbol appear on the screen which look like a Q symbol with a question mark. i try to reinstall it again but it come out with the same problem. i've updated my norton anti-virus and spyware doctor and do full scan on it and found nothing file is infected. i also update the apple software try to see whether is there any software for it. but after everything i've try to do, the result is the same; a Q symbol with a question mark. help me please....

I had the exact same problem and came across some instructions that helped me, so you might give these a try yourself:
1) open QuickTime Preferences
2) click the Browser tab
3) click the MIME Settings
4) select Miscellaneous - Miscellaneous file formats
5) uncheck Flash media (if it's already unchecked, then click the Use Defaults button at the bottom)
If that still doesn't fix the problem, continue with this:
1) within QuickTime Preferences, click the File Types tab
2) select Misceelaneous - Miscellaneous file formats
3) uncheck Flash media (or Use Defaults button if necessary)
For some reason, these two lists aren't linked to each other. So when you change one, it won't change the other automatically. There might be a feature to link the two, but I'm not aware of it at this time.
Also, be sure you have the latest Macromedia Flash Player (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash)
Hope this helps!

Password Autofill does not function on Windows 7 netbook using Large Password Manager

Wireless not working in Windows XP Boot Camp

I've just installed Leopard and Windows XP Home/Boot Camp. Everything is working great except the wireless connection. I have an Airport Extreme(n) and all the Macs connect fine. A friend brought over his HP Notebook with XP and it connects fine to the network. The iMac with XP finds and connects to the network, but gives a warning "Limited or no connectivity." I don't think that it's properly assigning the IP address to the machine.
I'm using WEP security but I still have the same problem if I turn the security off. When I open Wireless Connection Network Properties in XP, it shows that the machine is using a Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter. Is that correct? All of the Leopard and Windows updates have been installed on the machine. Any ideas out there??
Thanks in advance!

SQL Server not functional after Windows Sysprep

Hello!
I sysprep generalized a full configured Windows Server 2012 Standard copy with SQL Server 2012 configured on it but not set up using the sysprep prepare method. I only want to generalize the windows copy but have the SQL install work as previously configured.
After i boot back into the server after the generalize finishes i am unable to access the SQL server using windows authentication even after i changed the computer name and use the same user accounts as before. I have seen the sysprep prepare for imaging
documentation for syspreping an SQL instance however i already have SQL installed and i just want to migrate this install to newer hardware. Does anyone have any advice for this? Thank you.

Hello Kabitokaii,
It seems that sql server is not recognizing your new computer name. Since your new name is different from the name when SQL Server has been installed, you have to change the also in sys.servers....
you can query the name by submitting the following statement: (once you´re told you can´t connect only with windows autentication, i`m assumin that you can connect with SQL Server autentication.)
SELECT * FROM SYS.SERVERS.
If the names are different (from SYS.SERVERS to current machine name), you have to change is, following the bellow steps:
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2525/steps-to-change-the-server-name-for-a-sql-server-machine/
Steps to rename SQL Server
Execute the below commands for each instance on the machine.
-- for a Default Instance
sp_dropserver <old_physical_server_name>
GO
sp_addserver <new_name>, local
GO
--for a Named Instance
sp_dropserver <'old_physical_server_name\instancename'>
GO
sp_addserver <'new_name\instancename'>, local
GO
</new_name></old_physical_server_name>
Restart the SQL Server services.
Execute the below query in each instance to verify the updated system metadata.
SELECT @@SERVERNAME

Numerical keypad not functioning in Windows partition of Boot Camp

Unlike other users, the new keyboard is working fine in Windows -- mostly. Any ideas on why the numerical keypad on the far right isn't working? Is there a "Num Lock" key that I need to press when on the Windows side? If so: where? Can't find it on the keyboard.
Also: does anyone know if one of the software applications (Parallels or VM Wave Fusion 2) is able to mediate these hardware issues?

FYI, and for a bigger list of the Windows - Mac keyboard mapping see:
