Out of range message from PC signal strength good...

my son's dell (xp sp3) sees my new airport extreme with 4 of 5 bars but gives up after a few seconds with a "out of range" message. My daughter's dell laptop works fine.
any suggestions?
Rich

Try temporarily turning off the anti-virus on the SP3 machine as it may be blocking the connection attempt. Try to connect with the anti-virus off. If you can, leave the wireless connection running and then turn the anti-virus back on. You may get a message that you need to "allow" or "authorize" the connection.
If no luck, the Windows Firewall also frequently blocks any new connection attempts unless you "allow" the connection.
If still luck, you might want to post in the +AirPort for Windows+ forum as the PC gurus hang out over there.

  • Signal Out of Range Message

    I have a CTX 17" Flat Panel Display that used to work with my G3 (OS 10.3.9)but now I get the 'Signal Out of Range' message. What does this mean and why could I use it before but not now?

    It sounds like your mac is trying to send a resolution the display can't handle. You might try resetting the PRAM to see if that helps. I think the Mac uses a default setting after a PRAM reset.

  • After upgrading to 10.6.3 TV is only showing "out of range" message

    After upgrading to 10.6.3 my TV (Sharp 37XDE1) is only showing the message "out of range".
    Before upgrading I had no problems.
    Connection is via MiniDisplay Port to HDMI Adapter from iMac 24" or MacBook Pro 13".
    The "Out of range" message could be an indicator that the resolution or the signal speed is not matching properly. I tried to get the signals and resolution in line with the SwitchResX utility but without success.
    (TV monitor was recognized by the display preferences and SwitchResX)
    Any ideas whats wrong?

    HI,
    If you didn't repair disk permissions after you updaed to 10.6.3, do that now.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • "Rise of Atlantis" Mac game created "out of range" message through switch

    I've got a mac-mini. I've been running the mac game download from apple "Rise of Atlantis" for a while now. I have an older SONY SDM-HS95P DVI/SVGA monitor (capable of 1280 x 1024 resolution) connected to the mac via DVI to SVGA adapter out of the mac mini, and SVGA into the Monitor. No problems when launching or playing the game.
    However, I just added an SVGA Distribution Amp to the chain (capable of 1600 x 1280). So now it's DVI to SVGA adapter out of the mac min, SVGA into the SVGA Distribution Amp, and one SVGA output of the DA goes to the SONY computer monitor, and the other SVGA output of the Distribution Amp goes to my SONY HDTV via it's PC/SVGA input. I did this so I could stream videos off the computer to the TV. This all works well. I change my screen resolution from 800 x 600 (when sitting in front of the computer so all text is very big because of bad eyes) to 1260 x 768 when streaming to the HDTV so the picture fills the screen.
    However, I just introduced a problem with the game "Rise to Atlantis" that I didn't have before I added the distribution amp. When launching the game now, the screen flashes to black and I get an
    "out of range" message. The message stays there, and from the mac mini, I can't even get it back to the normal screen without rebooting the mac mini.
    However, if I remote into the Mac Mini via remote desktop connection from my 27" imac quad core, I can see the game and control the computer. But this isn't a viable solution.
    I have tried setting the mac mini display resolutions to lower, middle and higher resolution settings before actually launching the program, but nothing helps. I also disconnected the SVGA output of the SVGA distribution amp. going to the HDTV to see if that would help, but it does not.
    So it appears that the SVGA Distribution amp. is causing some sort of a hiccup that throws the SONY computer display to black and that "out of range" message.
    Can anyone suggest anything that might allow me to keep things hooked up as they are and still be able to play the game? 'Rise of Atlantis" is a mac game, downloadable from apple, ....but it's the type of game that seems to take over the entire screen....so you can't see FINDER or your desktop when playing it...it's definetly throwing the SONY display into some sort of "take over" mode.
    Any input would be appreciated.

    No, I did not try swapping the outputs as neither is marked primary or secondary, indicating that they were in any way different. However, I did resolve the issue. I didn't realize that in "Rise Of Atlantis" it was automatically set to display FULL SCREEN and that I could set it to NOT do that. I made that change and now I can see FINDER/DESKTOP behind the game while it still pretty much fills the screen and this has eliminated the problem I posted about. However, thank you very much for your input. I appreciate it.

  • Out of range message on monitor screen

    Have a Mac Mini desktop.  On startup of computer, monitor, everything is normal.   When monitor goes to sleep,  and I wake it up with the mouse, I get an "out of range" message on the screen.  My monitor's resolution specs call for a 1280 x 1024 resolution with 60 Hz.  I have set that as the required resolution, but it still displays the message on a black screen.  I have tried not shutting the monitor off completely and turning it back on, as well as letting it go to sleep after 7 minutes.  Nothing stops the message from displaying.
    Could my video graphics be going bad?   Had some power surges 2 weeks ago with the energy company, and wonder if those surges could have affected my Mac somehow?
    Anyone with a suggestion?

  • 'Out of Range' message

    Newbie here, so apologies if this problem has been raised a million times.
    I have a BT line and a BT Stratus phone/answering machine. I have been having problems with my phone fading out on me, so I replaced the rechargeable batteries, but the same 'out of range' message appeared on the handset and there was no dialtone. I assumed that the phone was the problem, so have bought a new one, which is currently charging up, but it is showing the same 'out of range' message.
    Does anyone know if this is a handset or a line problem? I'll be most miffed if I've paid out for a new phone and it's the line that's the problem!
    Any help would be much appreciated as I'm tired of being without a house phone now. Many thanks.

    If this is a new problem could be other electrical equipment interfering with the signal or some changed physical obstruction even some one else's phone on the same channels not likely to be a line problem
    If any post helps tick the star box on the left
    Just cause Im paranoid dont mean they are not out to get me

    Reset the PRAM > Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    3. Turn on the computer.

    Have you maybe a reset backup? In iTunes or iCloud that woud be realy good aswell.

    You need third-party software, like this:

    Or you can take screen shots, then email them to yourself or copy & paste into an email, again sending such to yourself. Me? I'd get Phoneview, very handy to keep around.

  • "Out of Memory" message from hp color laserjet cp1518ni

    While printing an 8.5x11 sheet of bookmarkers (5 on a sheet), the first page prints, the second page comes out blank with a message in the top left hand corner:  Out of memory.

    Answering your questions... MS Pub is the most graphics rich program I use, however I do print quite a bit of full color 8x10 .jpg/.bmp/.tiff/et.al. photos from programs such as Word without any issue. Most of the graphics printed with Pub are Raster graphics if that makes any difference. Notepad/Wordpad, obviously being text based, never create an issue. They always print. In fact whenever I want to conduct a printer test, I send it a notepad text file. When I get the "Low Memory" message, it will NOT print. Period~! Restarting, rebooting, nothing will get it to print a file if the file shows up as too large. Knowing all this, any problematic file which will not print on the CP1518ni, will ALWAYS print fine if I switch the job to our Office Jet Pro L7555~! Back to the memory... if it really is memory, WHY? In light the L7555 works fine. If I need memory, could you provide specifics about the memory? Thanks again, ~Michael

  • Print out a text message from mobile phone!

    I have my Droid hooked up to my home computer and I'm trying to download ( or print ) a text conversation. Is their a way of doing this? Anyone know???

    There are applications in the Play Store that will backup the text messages to an XML file and save it to the phone's storage memory. You can then copy or email the XML file to your computer. On the computer you can open the file in Internet Explorer or another program compatible with XML files. Once open you can print it out to a hard copy.
    There are similar application that will backup the text conversations to an email address if you prefer.
