LAN problems in Vista

Hi all, I have a computer running vista with NVIDEA LAN. For some reason it decided to add LAN points and now I get I cannot use LAN to get to the NET, radio works OK, I get that the LAN port is unplugged, My router says its not, the cable has been tested
and replaced with the other machine. I get that the LAN port is LAN 2 cable unplugged. (lights on computer also indicate connection. The router shows slow flashing light and goes red when computer shut down. All that indicates its a software fault / glitch.
I have tried to discover the reason and have discovered that there are siblings for LAN port all having the same irretrievable but in same location reg but added with sibling numbers.
I cannot "delete" the driver / item, which if I could would mean all LAN wiped but "refound" on machine restart. The machine appears to remove the LAN, but it does not.
Its annoying having to run the Radio connection as it reduces speed to the printers. Any body any ideas. This started after an MS update some 3 months ago.

Proxie_dk,
Also,
You might want to make sure that you have done the following to try and help resolve or workaround the problem more:
Make sure you have set the correct timinns and voltages for Mushkin memory in BIOS, more information at Mushkin website under support.
Make sure you have the latest version of the BIOS for your motherboard, as several manufacturers did release updates for the problems with NVIDIA and Creative compatability. Look at support section on the XFX support site.
Make sure you are using the latest motherboard chipset drivers available from NVIDIA. 5.25 is the latest, and the international package is here.
Make sure you are using the latest graphics drivers available from NVIDIA. 86.8 is the latest, and the international package is here.
Also, perhaps not as important as the above, make sure you have the latest Windows Updates installed using Microsoft Update.

Lan problems on P55-GD80

Hi,
I'm on my second one of these motherboards and they both exhibit the same fault with the same workaround. On boot the primary LAN devices are not visible in the device manager under Vista, sometimes both LAN devices can vanish. I can get them back by shutting down and clearing the CMOS using the button on the board. I thought it was a Vista issue but if I boot a standalone backup environment, Linux based I think, that can't see the LAN devices either. I think the effect seems to be triggered by running any non windows environment, Acronis or Paragon backup seems to sometimes trigger it. However I have seen the devices just disappear when windows was running.
I did find an entry on a German website, from what I could understand there was a similar issue with a similar board and a BIOS upgrade fixed it.
I have logged a case with MSI, I'll let you know how I get on.

My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
. Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
Note:
When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).

Airport Extreme Utility problem with Vista (works with XP, MacOS)

Hi,
I just setup a new Airport Extreme network at my house, and most things are working fine. I have wirelessly connected at various points an Airport Express (using WDS), a MacBook Pro (OSX) and an IBM Thinkpad. I have several wired machines as well.
My problem: The wired machine I use to configure and setup everything is a Vista Ultimate machine. Unfortunately, the Airport Utility won't connect to the Airport Extreme (or Airport Express for that matter) from Vista. The utility works fine from XP or OSX, but not from Vista. Note that I'm using this in a wired capacity. The Vista machine is directly connected to the Airport Extreme, while several other machine are connected through a GBit switch.
Any help would be much appreciated? Is this a Vista security problem or an Airport Utility problem with Vista?

It's most likely a security issue with Windows Vista. Vista has the ability to set "compatibility modes" for applications.
Try:
1. right mouse clicking the Airport Utility's .exe file.
2. Click the Compatibility tab. Change the Compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
3. Now go down to "Privilage Level" and check the "Run this program as an administrator"
Apple never tells you this but you must connect to the Airport Extreme wirelessly. Now run the Airport Utility. You should see it.

Is there a patch to help Dreamweaver work without problems in vista?

Please let me know if there is a patch I can download to make
Dreamweaver compatible with Vista. The problems are numerous and
are driving me nuts at the moment. Can you upgrade to DW CS3 from
the website?
Nick.

There are many of us who are running DW without problems in
Vista. What
problems are you having? Which versions of Vista and DW are

What u hear problems in vista 32bit

#What u hear problems in vista 32bit2 I just installed the newer variety of the x-fi notebook card with the wireless broadcast function, and for whatever reason installing the drivers failed the first time, I tried a clean install after that, and the microphone is displayed as not available and what u hear isn't present either, so is there a problem in the driver installation or are those features just non existent in the newer software I also noticed that line in works and the microphone input doesn't, gah, windows fixta is irritating,
EDIT: I found out how to get what u hear to work, I kind of felt stupid but all you have to do is right click in the recording device manager and hit show disabled devices and boom what u hear and the microphone input are there, for what reason I don't know why they were disabled in the first place, but hope this helps anyone with the same problem

+Re: "What U Hear" Missing in Win7G ?
Agreed! I have an X-FI Extreme, upgraded to win 7, installed the latest audio drivers, and have just spent the last 2 hours trying to get my "what u hear" back without any luck at all.
I'll also mention that "disabled devices" are shown in the recording options, so that is not the issue.
I was using vista before with the exact same hardware and "what u hear" was available. The driver version was 5.2..200 dated 4/02/07 ... The current driver for windows-7 is 5.2..208 dated 3/08/2009. Maybe installing an older driver would do the trick? I don't know if that would work as I haven't been able to find the old driver I was using for download (just been bombarded with broken links). I'm also guessing that you'll be held hostage to the latest drivers in windows 7.
Get the latest drivers to lose functionality? Sounds like something apple would pull on you!
If anyone has a solution for this, please let us know, otherwise I'll be rolling all the way back to good old XP again.

Power manager problem under vista 64 bit

Happy to see Lenovo opened a forum and willing to hear from the customers.
Power manager has problems under Vista 64bit:
1. Sometimes it will cause explore.exe can't start when windows start.
2. If no window at max, the color of the battery icon will be very dim
Hope Lenovo can publish a new edition for vista 64 bit.

Acrobat Problem with Vista X64 OLE calls

Acrobat Problem with Vista X64 OLE calls - CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc") does NOT open its window in the CreateObject("AcroExch.App") - but opens a new (invisible) window. Works correctly in XP x64 and 32 bit Vista - happens with Acrobat v8 and v9.

Again, I contend that something changed between 8.1.2 and 8.1.3.

T61 - problem with Vista x64 NVS 140M drivers

Hi!
I have problems with Vista x64 and NVS 140M drivers. Thing is that if I install them, everything will be slideshow, even the audio shutters quite bad and CPU is constantly over 45%. I have tried different driver versions but nothing has helped yet. Any ideas?
I wonder if anyone has the old 7.15.11.0129 driver and could send it to me? Maybe that would help.

Try the following test:
- Go to Vista Sound Control Panel to view the S/PDIF out properties.
- Click on the Supported Format tab page, select Dolby Digital and click Test.
Is the test OK?

Lan Problem

I'm having a lan problem, which I already made a post on this forum
SEE THIS LINK
Well, it's back! I get disconnected from the Internet without any reason (my sister has no problem). When I go to Network Connections in Control Panel to disable enable the lan, the lan doesn't enable. When I try to roll-back driver, update driver, or uninstall in Device Manager, Device Manager only freezes.
Does anyone have any suggestion aside from RMAing the board because I live in Hawaii and shipping to RMA it would cost about $40 bucks!
I tried installing a pci lan before, but it was an old one so it was very slow, but no issues.
EDIT: I also tried double-clicking on the lan icon on my taskbar but the window that is supposed to appear only appears in a fraction of a second and then disappears.

last week i did a fresh reload of my OS for cleaning purposes, and i had same prob.. internet worked off and on, then froze.. other things froze it too like device manager.. this didnt happen with my last copy of windows, so i was sitting there like .. anyways... installed all driver updates, SP1 and all, nothing happened... i got fed up with it and just said screw it , and i reloaded again... now everything works fine... my friend and i were thinking it might have just been a corrupt install, or a corrupt install of some of my drivers/updates from windows... b4 you RMA board, try a fresh copy of XP (with just new drivers and SP1) and see if you have the same problem

K7D Master-L with LAN problems

I've just completed construction of my new K7D Master-L based machine and am running into LAN problems. The first K7D Master-L I received had a bad IDE controller on it, and now the replacement board has intermittent LAN issues.
WinXP Pro installed fine, and I was able to install the LAN driver from the MSI CD and get things up and running fine. After about 20 minutes or so, the LAN connection drops out and then comes back a few minutes later. This cycle repeats over and over. There are no duplicate IP addresses on the network, there are no errors in the XP system log, and all of the other systems on the network continue to work fine during these down periods.
I checked on the MSI website, and there are no drivers available for the Intel 82551QM lan controller that is on the K7D Master-L board. Does anyone know where I can get an updated driver to try? These types of problems are most frustrating to debug.
Thanks,
Norm

Just an update to this:
The problem is definately the onboard LAN controller. I've tried a Netgear card as well as a real PCI based Intel Pro 100 card and both are working great. When I take the PCI cards out and try to use the onboard LAN, I still get intermittent outages.
Very strange. If any MSI engineers are listening, I'd love to hear your opinions. According to the OS, there are no IRQ, memory, or other conflicts that might be to blame.

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.

Satellite P100-434: Wireless connection problem with Vista

Just purchased this laptop with Vista and so far have been unable to get the wireless to connect, I have 3 other computers and they will all connect, I have reset the router and set new accounts on all the other computers with no problem, but unable to do this on the P100.
Tried the new RADAR feature and this will not pick any networks up, but when trying to establish new connection it shows that a wireless network is available but is unnamed, although my network is named, I have taken the passkey off the network so that it is open but still will not connect into it, LAN via ethernet works fine.
Wireless switch is on, but when I slide it to off wireless switch status says ON

Hi
I cannot give you an exactly answer why you cannot connect to you WLan with the Vista because there are so many options which must be checked.
But I think you will find the solution yourself with a little help from Microsoft website.
Please check this site:

There you will find many useful tips, screenshots and the advice how to connect to WLan with Vista.
