G530 (4446) wireless lan problem on Windows Vista 32bit without AC

I have  new G530 lenovo laptop with the following problem
After I have enabled the wireless driver (pressing Fn+F5) and moving the switch in front of the laptop, the wireless led is blinking BUT, I can't find any wireless networks. When diagnosing the problem with windows vista,it tells me that the wireless should be turned on.
Of course, it is ON. After I have reinstalled the wireless driver again from your the support site, the problem disappeared, but reappeared after a couple of days.
I do not use Access Connections. I have Uninstalled it since I don't need it
I have seen this problem on several sites when I googled for a solution.
I need a deterministic solution:
a. What drivers should I update?
b. In which order should I update them?
c. What configuration should I change from their default?
d. What causes this problem and can I prevent it from happening (like- don't go to standby but just to hibernate state)?
Thanks
Guy

Hey, guys.
I just discovered that the computer had no issue at all.
The problem was with me.
Somehow I managed to disable the wireless network.
I just typed Fn+ F5 and reactivated it.

  • Problems with Windows VISTA and WPA-2

    Hi Guys,
    I am using a Linksys router supporting draft-N; it seems that after some time of usage; Windows Vista stop being able to connect to Linksys using a WPA-2 PSK.
    Everytime you search for the SSID and attempt to connect, the ''network is taking too long to connect''' and Windows always informs the user that ''limited or no connectivity'' even though the signal strength is excellent.
    Is that a common problem in Windows Visa (I am using Home Edition)?

    Yes thats the basica command problem with Windows Vista while connecting to the Wireless Network.... In this you can need to update your Windows Vista OS with all the Latest Patches and the Service Pack to improve more stability on your Vista Computer to get connected to the Wireless Network..

  • Photo sync problem with Windows Vista?

    I did some searching and was wondering if there is a solution to the photo sync problem with Windows Vista. I have gone the route of changing some of my photos to bitmap files but this is was way too much work just to view on ipod. I like to email Apple but could not find a link to do so. As far as I know I have all updates but still the iPod does not sync photos. Is there an update to this that I am missing or am I stuck changing all my photos to .bmp files?
    Thanks,
    Dean.

    I checked out the article and not much help, thanks anyway.
    Would it make a difference if I purchased Adobe Photo Album or would I still be stuck with changing and saving files to .bmp extensions? I have Adobe Photoshop album starter but still have to change file extensions.
    If someone has a solution to this problem I would really be greatfull. I did contact Dell as this is a brand new computer and that was a wash. They did give me a number for Apple but of course I bought the iPod off of ebay and has no warranty on it so unless I pay a fee I'm not calling. It just blows my mind that Microsoft and Apple can't or won't come up with a fix. But I guess when Microsoft wants you to buy the Zune or Apple wants you to buy the overpriced Macintosh why would they waste time on having there products compatible with each other.
    Thanks.

  • No driver for Airport Exteme WLAN card working in Windows Vista (32bit)

    Hello,
    Fairly recently I had an Airport Extreme card installed into my Mac Pro. Of course everything works on the Mac side and the card appears with the following info:
    Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x8E)
    Wireless Card Locale: USA
    Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.38.35)
    Current Wireless Network: XXX
    Wireless Channel: 1
    Under Windows Vista Ultimate (32bit) the card comes up with the following hardware ids:
    PCI\VEN14E4&DEV_432B&SUBSYS_008E106B&REV01
    PCI\VEN14E4&DEV_432B&SUBSYS008E106B
    PCI\VEN14E4&DEV_432B&CC028000
    PCI\VEN14E4&DEV_432B&CC0280
    The Leopard DVD does not seem to contain any compatible drivers for Windows using Bootcamp for this card. I am really struggling to find a driver that works. The card is listed as 43XX in OS X, and by the Windows hardware ids it seems to be a 432B? I've tried third party drivers for this Broadcom chipset range and nothing will work and even detect a compatible card installed.
    Surely there is a working Windows Vista driver for this Broadcom chipset? Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    thanks for replying..... I'm using the latest driver from the site X.0004 for the x-fi xtremegamer fatality pro. The Sound card is detected just fine. The card shows up correctly, but its just that there are no sound coming out from any of the line out. If I play an mp3 or a movie, I can see that the bar is moving under "Sound" in control panel. I've tested it using headphones etc. The card itself is fine because I tested it on windows xp, well the store where I bought it from did. So its not a hardware problem.

  • Treo 750 syncing w/ Windows Vista 32bit

    I have a Treo 750 that I had synced with windows xp. Ever since I "upgraded" to windows vista I have not been able to sync.  The computer won't even recognize the phone as connected.  Here is what I have and what I have tried already.  I have, as mentioned, the Treo 750 running windows mobile 5.0/ the laptop was running xp which I had no problems setting up and syncing.  I now have window vista 32bit I guess since when I tried downloading WMDC 64bit it wouldn't support the download, so I have WMDC 32bit. When I downloaded WMDC the treo was connected through a usb cable.  I have uninstalled and re-installed WMDC several times. Sometimes the device manager will not recognize the usb cable and sometimes it does.  When it does recognize the cable it shows a bluetooth symbol and says everything is working properly but when I open up WMDC I am not connected, if I push the sync button nothing happens, if I unplug the usb cable and replug the device manager then will no longer recognize the usb cable. I have also tried everything on the support boards, help forums, you name it I have tried it except a hard reset which I don't want to do until I sync all my info first. Oh yeah the whole reason I am so desperate to sync my phone after such a long time is because my phone constantly freezes up as if I have to much going on which I don't. I have cleaned out every program not necessary so I have tons of memory, so that is not slowing down or freezing my phone. I basically have to soft reset my phone after I do or run 3-4 different applications including phone calls.  ANYONE PLEASE HELP EITHER OF THESE TWO PROBLEMS BEFORE MY GIRLFRIEND DUMPS ME FOR SPENDING SO MUCH TIME ON THE COMPUTER TRYING TO FIGURE THIS STUPID THING OUT.  THANKS  DAVE
    Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

    Yeah I have tried that already no luck.  Here are some other things that I forgot to mention. I have another laptop that is running windows xp, this laptop has never been synced to anything. I downloaded Microsoft Activesync but it will not connect to that either. The difference with this computer is that when I plug it into the USB port it makes a sound and when I push the usb sync button it makes a beep followed by another beep.  Lastly I have another Treo (my girlfriends) that when I first tried to sync to WMDC it did not connect but after running troubleshoots I got it to work on both computers. It is so frustrating.

  • Sb x-fi xtreme audio console launcher problems on windows 7 32bit

    Asb x-fi xtreme audio console launcher problems on windows 7 32bit'sI recently installed windows 7, because I was tired from Windows XP, but unfortunately after installing all the drivers for my hardware I realized my 5. isn't working quite as expected.
    My first problem was, that the Crystalizer didn't work, after installing tons of different software, found on creative labs forums the crystalizer started working.
    Then I realized that the CMSS-3D wasn't (and still isn't working). How do I fix that ? I've tried numerous ways but nothing happens, while in windows XP everything worked fine after installing the drivers.
    I also miss some configuration options in the Creative Console Launcher, namely the check boxes:
    ?"Automatically enable headphone settings" and "Automatically mute speakers".
    Where the hell did they go?! I use them, I need them. How do I get them back? Is XP somehow privileged than 7? Isn't it supposed to be the opposite?
    I also can't change the speaker configuration - it's stays 5. whatever I do, and the drop-down menu with the choices is missing?! Auto-detect option doesn't work, and if it did worked - I don't need it.

    Not a lot of documentation on that one, I'm afraid, but there's some general principles troubleshooting we can try with it that might get us moving forwards.
    (1) Do you currently have a copy of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package installed on that PC? If so, try downloading the following security update:
    [Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-4 0ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en#filelist]
    Does iTunes install for you after applying that update?
    (2) If no joy there, head into your Windows Update and click on the Update History. Have a lot of Updates also been failing for you recently? If so, doubleclick on the entries for the failed updates to bring up more information on each. What error codes appear for you for the failed updates? (Precise spelling, please.)

  • Windows Vista 32bit or 64bit?

    Which is better for my new mac book pro, Windows Vista 32bit or 64bit Ultimate? All I care about is all of my programs and games working properly. And what does 86x mean? Will one version of the bits work faster than the other?

    Hi Konnexion,
    There is another more important limit with 32-bit versions of Windows, and that is the limit of 2 GBS of RAM per process. Unless some tricks and tweaks are used (which can result in reduced stability), no matter how much physical RAM is installed, a single application can't use more than 2 GBs. This is important for applications that can use large amounts of RAM like video and picture rendering apps, and even some games these days (particularly in Vista).
    On the other hand, the 64-bit version of Vista has a number of additional security enhancements over the 32-bit version, such as address-space layout randomization, mandatory driver signing. If you have the RAM (at least 4GBs) and games are not a priority, I would actually recommend using the 64-bit version. Of course, why would you be using Boot Camp, if it weren't for games LOL?

  • Dv6-2018ax Original BIOS for Windows Vista 32bit

    I have tried for hours to find the original BIOS for the DV6-2018AX (windows vista 32bit)  with no luck. I know there is no BIOS update... I am not interested in that, just the bios it came out of the factory with. If anyone could help me I would be much appreciated. This is for a USB flash... As I cannot recover the BIOS by normal means. Thanks.

  • HP Pavilion a1210n with Windows Vista 32bit. looking for audio drivers. Can you point me to a link?

    Hello,
    I have an HP Pavilion a1210n running Windows Vista 32bit. I'm missing the audio drivers and can't seem to find them. Can you point me to a link for these drivers?
    Thanks, It's much appricieated!

    I found this link but it doesn't talk about audio drivers in the multimedia package. Am I missing something? Does Vista need to have all OS updates installed for this to work?
    Thanks again!

  • Please Help! Problems with Windows Vista 32-bit on Boot Camp (Wireless/Etc)

    We recently purchased a new aluminum Mac Book (13 inch) with Leopard (10.5.4). I attempted to install Boot Camp and Windows Vista 32-bit. I can successfully alternate between both operating systems with no problems. However, I am having 2 problems:
    1) I cannot connect to wireless internet. No connections will even show up when I attempt to connect, its almost as if an adapter hasn't been installed.
    2) I cannot set up the trackpad to do right click.
    I've read articles everywhere and nothing has helped. Can anybody please help me??? Any support/advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
    - Pierce

    dpierceNKC:
    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    It appears that you may not have installed the boot camp drivers. Boot into Windows and insert your Leopard installation disk in the CD/DVD drive. This should automatically begin installation of the necessary drivers. Reboot the computer when instructed and all the hardware should work as designed.
    The right click is accomplished by placing two fingers on the trackpad and then depressing the trackpad button. This should also work after the drivers are installed as instructed above.
