HELP!! My hp computer has lost airport!! Can you solve the riddle???

I am connected to the internet through a hospital network and have airport express which works fine with another hp pc and a mac. It did work with the hp with vista until last week and now airport doesn't come up on list of wireless devices. I have reinstalled it from the disk but still no joy and I cannot connect to the internet through that computer. Please help....it's driving me mad and the network is saying connected but an X for internet! This is my 12 year old's pc which I am in a pickle with. By the way....I am an uncomplicated soul with no real knowledge of technical only turn on and off!!!
Thank YOU!!!

From your previous post, it sounds like at one point you are getting the pop up that says "installing device driver software," correct?
If you are not getting this pop up in the lower right hand corner of you screen then I need you to:
1. Try a different USB port on your computer. Some computer USB ports are "touchy" and if you try a different one it will work. It all depends on the make of the computer.
2. Try a different USB cable. You might have a bad USB cable. Also, be sure that the USB cable isn't longer than 3ft long.
3. Go into your device manager and see what printers have been installed. They should be listed under "printers" or "other devices" You might have to go to view and check show hidden devices to see these on your computer. If there is a yellow triangle or question mark on this device then you have a conflict with your computer. This is something in your computer causing this and not the software download.
Keep me  posted.

    HI Emmet,
    thanks so much for your posts back. I really appreciate it and yes that does help to know that you could not get it working.
    I did have some success, in removing the SSL Authentication checkbox in the smtp server settings - I found that this allowed my friend to be able to send mail from the mail app via his sbcglobal (yahoo) account.
    So that did help but of course the messages do not have ssl encryption and I'm not sure how big a deal that is for an individual. He is able to receive mail but unless the SSL authentication box is unchecked, he cannot send.
    i hope that helps anyone out there also!
    Thanks also for the tip about sparrow - yes I have heard of it and it is very popular, he may end up using that in the end.    
    Thanks again, much appreciated.

  • Please Help!! Computer Failing!!Can you slect updates individually?

    I think the last update is messing up my mac. I would like to re-instal and be able to update to 10.4.10. I bought the computer with 10.4.2. When I re-installed after it was crashing for no reason it automatically updated to 10.4.11. I started to have the same problem again although less frequently.
    The problem is the computer will just turn off. I power back up with no problem. Sometimes it will shut down as soon as I power back and sometime it will run for 10 minutes to several hours before shutting down. When I power up sometimes the fans goes ful power for a second and stops and sometimes no fan so I do not think it isa logic board problem. I have run multiple hardware tests from safe mode, command line and apple recovery disc and everything passes.
    I really think it is the last update. If there was a way I could re-install and selectively install the updates then I could see if the update is the issue. Right after install at 10.4.2 it was working great.
    I would also like to know if there is a way to overwright and delete the HD before re-installing. On my Toshiba laptop there is an option to completely overight and delete the HD. It takes several hours but I did this and re-installed Vista and it really made a big difference i how the OS performs.
    Any help would really be great. I want to fix this issue myself. I gave my wife my precious iBook G4 and bought a cheap Toshiba until we have the money to buy a MacBook but to have the iBook dead in less than a year and a half is really making me upset. I can expect this with cheap windows hardware but not premium mac. Also with my toshiba I can replace any parts pretty easy myself.
    I just can't afford to replace or even repair (new logic board or HD) this iBook since I can't just buy the parts and do it myself without risking completely destroying the mac. My wifes old mac still works but Apple has not updated it in a while and a lot of stuff is not compatible.
    Please HelP!!

    robzilla:
    is there any way to install the OSX PPC updates individually instead of all together.
    The Combo update does not cause crashes unless you have issues with your computer. I have installed Combo updates all along the line on several computers and have never had an issue. Issues may be occasioned by other problems with the computer, and if they recur and/or persist we should look at them in turn.
    Combo updates have the advantage of having updates integrated into one update, so that you are less likely to have conflicts and are often used to solve issues that arise from installing individual updates.
    Here is a link for Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo update (PPC).
    Again, if issues arise and recur, please post back and we will try to address them individually.
    Cheers

  • I downloaded trial but did not use the product due to upgrading computer....Can you download the trial again and try?

    I downloaded the trial and was unable to try due to computer upgrade...Can I download again for trial?

    You can try and see - the new system might have wiped out memories of it on the machine.
    Unfortunately, once you install it, the trial is started, so it's up to you to try while it's there.

  • Can you solve the Real Player mystery???

    Hi Guys,
    Was very pleased to hear of the Universal Binary release this morning as I access a lot of content on the BBC website. After downloading and installing I was shocked to see that I was receiving the following error when trying to listen to Radio Five Live.
    The page “BBC Radio Player” has content of MIME type “application/x-mplayer2”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
    Bizarrely, although displaying this message the radio show loaded in the background and started to play!? I tried it on some other BBC stations and it got even more curious.
    Radio 1-4 load without a problem (no MIME warning, audio OK)
    Radio 5-onwards(6,7,Asian Network etc) - radio plays but with MIME warning
    Could someone please go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/ and see if they are experiencing the same odd behaviour? I could at least try and understand it if all the stations were acting the same way but I'm completetly baffled.
    Anyone have any ideas/fixes?
    Cheers

    iMac 20" 2GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I had the same experience last evening when testing the new UB version on the BBC. It happened for me on Stations 4 & 5. And yet inspite of the warning the broadcast started coming through AOK.
    I think it may have more to do with the sniffers and feelers of the website, than with the iMac, Safari or Realplayer!
    However, I just went back to re-test the situation and I didn't get the warnings, the Radio Player just opened and made the connection and started broadcasting the program!!

  • HT1766 can i back up my ipad if the host computer has lost every thing?

    Can I back up my ipad if the host computer has lost its operating system and the was re-instald?

    Yes, this would be like syncing to a new computer. So, some precautions are required or you might lose what's currently on the iPad.
    iTunes will only let you sync to one library at a time, if you get this warning message, follow this:

    I have created a narration for a video, and it plays it while in the editor tools, but after saving it to my desktop, that version has no narration , can you help...Please.

    timester
    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running?
    How did you save your Timeline content which included the narration clip produced with the project's Narration Tool?
    Publish+Share/Computer/ and then what? And, what preset? And, for that preset, did you use the default settings of the preset
    or did you customize the preset under its Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab?
    What other audio was in the project - any on Audio 1 or Soundtrack? Did you get involved with Smart Mix at all?
    Let us start here. We will be watching for your follow up.
    Thank you.

  • I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working. HELP....

    I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • My iPhone is deleting music by itself! Please help! My computer crashed so iTunes is out of the question

    A few days ago, my computer crashed, and being the Deadmau5 fan that I am, I can't survive without my concert DVDs. So I deleted all my photography apps (using the iPhone, of course) to make room for a concert movie. I didn't delete any music because by the time I deleted a few apps I had enough room. Before buying the film that was 3.6 gb, i had 5.5gb free. So I bought the film, and the phone automatically and by itself deleted 5 gigs of music that was ripped from CDs that no longer play. Need that music for my job (i know it sounds weird but trust me). Please help me I'm on my knees

    If you lost your device a month ago, did you have Find My iPhone active on it before it was lost? If so, then you needed to log into www.icloud.com with your information and try to locate the device. I'm not sure about where you are receiving these emails from, but can you see the device in iCloud? If you are using another device, did you cancel the service on your other device? If so, that could be part of the problem of why you are having difficulty locating yours. To locate the device, it has to be powered on, it has to have Find My iPhone activated before it was lost/stolen, and it has to have an active internet connection. If any of that is interrupted, then it will not work.
    Apple does not locate devices, so there really isn't any customer service for Find My iPhone. Not sure what you are asking about that. The Find My iPhone app on the girlfriend's phone is just another avenue for you to get into your iCloud account to try and locate the device. If it does not show up in Find My iPhone, then the device either did not have Find My iPhone active before you lost it, it is powered off, or, in case you did not have a passcode on the device, it has been erased.

    Anyone who can help out here?
    Thanks, Rense

    I analyzed the errors with BlueScreenViewer and noticed that the driver ntoskrnl.exe causes the server to reboot. A normal chkdsk or sfc /scannow couldn't find anything.
    Using chkdsk /r /f gave me the following log:
    Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap.
    Windows has made corrections to the file system.
    So I can't check if this solved the problem, but I hope it did.
