Steps to be taken if Win XP Pro has to be reinstalled on the desktop attached to WRT54GX2 router...

I have to reinstall Win XP Pro on my primary desktop PC attached to the WRT54GX2 router due to virus/trojan issues. The router is running V22 of the firmware I believe. I will have to reformat the hard drive on the primary PC attached to the router. I have two other desktops that have WMP54GX wireless adapters that are running fine. I've created a config backup file for the WRT54GX2's current config if needed. Can someone give a link or clear step-by-step instructions on what steps I'll need to take after Win XP Pro is reinstalled on the primary PC to reestablish my network. Will I need to config backup file at all or will the router/wireless adapters be largely unaffected by the OS reinstall? Thanks in advance, Chris

Hi!
 Chris,
    If in case you reinstall the O.S of the wired P.C..... In Normal cases you don't have to do anything with the router.........because the router does not install any settings on a P.C .
  Once you have reinstalled the O.S(operating system)..does powercycle the entire        network(i.e  first unplug the power from the  router...then the powercable from the modem....wait for 30 sec..and then power on the modem first...wait for the lights on the modem to become stable and plug in the router...) and your P.C should be able to connect to the internet..
And as your wireless P.C's are working fine you don't have to work on them at all..
If in Case you still face any issues...Revert Back to me!!

  • I have to reinstall WIN 7 Pro on my PC, what about the CC app's? Can I reinstall them later again?

    I have to reinstall WIN 7 Pro on my PC, what about the CC app's? Can I reinstall them later again?

    The CC has been activated twice on 26th April &28th April 2014. You need to deactivate it first from any of the CC installed .
    (Activation & Deactivation Help)
    The other option is to deactivate it while installing for the third time. this will deactivate CC from both the earlier installed machines(I understand, it is being reinstalled on one of machine which had CC).
    To reactivate it on the one of the previous machine, you need to launch any product, there shall be a prompt
    , in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
    It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.

  • I have a iMac desktop and a macbook pro laptop I work mainly on the desktop but when i go away for work I take my laptop. Is there any way to make it automatically back up to mirror my desktop? Like when I update a file it updates on there too etc?

    I have a iMac desktop and a macbook pro laptop I work mainly on the desktop but when i go away for work I take my laptop. Is there any way to make it automatically back up to mirror my desktop? Like when I update a file it updates on there too, if I install software it installs on there too etc?
    When I first got the laptop I syned it to load with all the same software etc but it hasn't continued to sync
    Thanks

    I use
    Chronosync (http://www.econtechnologies.com/pages/cs/chrono_overview.html)
    and
    Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/)
    Both work very well. The former I use for manual, one-way synchroniziation of (nearly) entire systems. The latter for automatic syncing of very active directories through local and shared online storage.

  • Brand new macbook pro has annoying fan noises all the time

    I just picked up my macbook pro 13'' with retina display from apple store today, and the first time when I start it, it generates constant annoying noise!  no applications run, nothing, from the moment I push the power button, it just give the noises... very disappointed at macbook pro.... Restart it, same, still gives out constant fan noises.... Even the $300, $400 cheap laptops don't have such problem....

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Your Mac may be indexing files from the flash storage, and this may cause that your CPU usage is high. In this case, I recommend you to carry on using your Mac and fans will stop working at maximum speed soon.
    Another thing you can try is to reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 The SMC is the part that manages fans speed, and if it is not working correctly, fans may not be working properly.
    If the SMC reset does not work and fans carry on working at maximum speed for a long time, return your Mac and get another one.

  • My late 2007 Mac Book Pro has tiny vertical lines in the display intermittently.

    Intermittent, tiny vertical lines in display of my refurbished Mac Book Pro late 2007 , A1226 model.
    Have replaced the actual display screen.
    Apple Genius Bar tested hardware and all OK, although the display was working by the time I got there.
    It is fine right now, I am using it for this post, but is hard to read small letters and numbers when it acts up.
    Even when the lines appear the display shows bright and crisp on any external monitor.
    Does anyone have any insight to this problem?
    Thanks !

    It could be the inverter cable or board is beginning to get frayed.
    If attaching an external display shows the lines, you know the problem is direct to the videochip itself.
    Some games are videochip specific in their requirements and may trigger the issue anyway, if the videochip is not on their supported list.

  • HT1338 my mac pro has 4 years already and the battery lasts for 10 minutes top. why should i do? get a new battery or what?

    please help me what should i do

    Assuming you mean a Macbook Pro laptop and not the Mac Pro tower, then batteries wear out.  4 years is a long time for a battery to be in constant use.  In general I've ended up replacing my laptop batteries about once ever 2 years, and at that time I'm often down to 30 to 45 minutes of battery life.
    So if you are not ready to get a new Mac, by all means get a new battery.

  • Running Dual boot windows 8 and win 7 pro with xp mode installed!! I love it!!

    It took over 2 days to figure out how to adjust the bios to get my win 7 pro DVD to boot and install dual boot on this GREAT MACHINE!!
    Step 1: using diskmgmt.msc you have to shring the C partition. I shrunk it so I had 80GB remaining as unallocated space.
    Step 2: You have to enter the machine Bios adn set the BIOS to Both and UEFI as first
    Step 3: Connect your usb dvd
    Step 4: Put your win 7 pro dvd in the usb dvd drive
    Step 5: Reboot your machine and when it starts press F12 to get the boot menu and select the usb dvd drive then press enter
    The machine restarts
    Message on screen says press a key to boot from cd/dvd
    Press space and it boots up the win 7 pro DVD
    After files copy and load the setup screen asks to accept the agreement and where to install win 7
    BE SURE TO SELECT THE 80GB location
    Then follow thru the win 7 prompts to load it.
    When the machine restarts you will see a dual boot screen with Windows 7 on top as first selection and Windows 8 below it as 2nd selection.
    Make sure to hit enter with windows 7 selected
    The win 7 installation completes.
    You will see many items with drivers not installed dont fret.
    You can load most of the drivers by highlighting the device in control panel/device manager and pick update driver then select BROWSE for DRIVER and be sure to put in drive D:\ which is now the windows 8 drive and hit search.
    Many of the windows 8 drivers installed with no issue.
    The Realtek driver was an exception .. goto to the lenovo site and pick the x100e tablet and download the LAN driver from there  about (4MB). Copy it to flash drive and install it in win 7 from the .exe file. The driver for LAN will install sucessfully. The version of the driver is 7.46 something the 7.11 versions do not workl.
    I have only 3 drivers that I could not find - 2 list as unknown and are related to ACPI or power management and 1 lists as USB controller but all the USB stuff works without it.
    Be sure to either shutdown the system or sign out of win 8 when your done so you get the dual boot menu. If you shutdown while logged into win 8 the next time you start up it will go right to win 8 until you signout and restart.
    Just to let you know an easy way to shutdown is go to the desktop and press ALT + FN + F4 and a shutdown menu comes up on the desktop.
    Once win 7 pro is installed you can download the XP mode free from Microsoft and install it.
    This is of course AFTER you have ACTIVATED WINDOWS 7 ONLINE with YOUR ACTIVATION KEY(you supply).
    ENJOY! This is the BEST machine I ever had!

    It's been many, many years since I don't do dual boot anymore. Don't find the reason to do it, either. Different kinds of virtualization should be enough. Anyway...

  • Win 8 pro to win 8.1 pro on Imac mid 2011

    Hi Community!
    I'm experiencing the same issue as this thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/23429321#23429321
    But it's on my Imac mid 2011.
    I had windows 7, I upgraded with a windows 8 succesfully but when I want to update to 8.1 I have a black screen at the end of the installation (no lights) exactly like the computer is Off. When I reboot it restore to win 8
    So I decided to restore windows 8 with a fresh install (all programs and files deleted) and bootcamp 5 installed before.
    I have the same issue , I thought the problem was because of one of my drivers.
    But even with a brand new Win8, with last update, The update 8.1 give me this **** black screen!!!
    I tried with last AMD HD drivers in case it was the graphic drivers.
    I really don't understand what happen!!
    I have two sort of error code when It restore to win 8
    0x1900101 - 40019    or  0x1900101 - 4000D
    Does anyone have a successful update to win 8.1 with an Imac mid 2011?
    I try to install with a complete win 8.1 DVD (no update) I will work?
    thanks for your help

    Well, I have finally figured "my" issue out.  For me, it was the video driver for my 6970M adapter.  The real kicker is that the driver provided by Microsoft during the windows installation which correctly identified my device was NOT compatible with 8.1  The driver provided by Bootcamp driver installation was NOT compatibile either. 
    Basically, you have to uninstall the display adapter and have "delete the driver" box checked in device manager.  Leave it like that, do NOT reboot and install 8.1  The incompatible driver will put itself back on there again but, at least you'll be able to get into 8.1.  You just have to uninstall that device again and go to AMD directly for the latest driver.
    So, below is a more step by step of how I got my 8.1 passed the black screen issue.
    I did a clean install of Windows 8. 
    During the installation process, select customize settings and turn OFF automatic windows updates AND turn OFF automatic driver updates.
    Once at the desktop, uninstall the device AND device driver (display adapter).  Do NOT reboot.
    At this point I had to do windows updates to get 8.1 to show up in the windows store.  However, if you have to do this, UNCHECK any driver related updates first.  It will tell you to reboot, go ahead and do this.  Once back at the desktop, go into device manager and make sure the display adapter is uninstalled/driver deleted or its at least the microsoft generic adapter.  The point is to make sure no device specific adapter is installed. 
    Proceed to install 8.1.  Let it go through its reboots and setup.
    Once at the desktop of 8.1, go into device manager and see if the generic driver is there of it its a device specific driver, uninstall the device/driver, do not reboot.
    Go to AMD (my display adapter maker) and get the latest drivers from them directly and make sure its for 8.1
    Install that driver and reboot.  It should work from there on out.  You can then proceed to install other devices and bootcamp drivers.
    This is what I had to do for my black screen problem.  Its important to note that the black screen issue is common but being caused by a variety of issues.  I was on the phone with Microsoft this morning and explained all of this and my steps that were taken.  Its clear MS has a bad update package especially since 8.1 isn't playing well (causing black screen) with drivers that Windows itself installed during install.  My fix may work for some, but not all.  I hope it helps someone.

  • Problem installing Win XP Pro SP2 on 2008 Mac Pro running 10.6.8

    Okay, I have never setup or ran a bootcamp partition so I apologize in advance for my ignorance on the subject. I have been attempting to install win xp pro (SP2). I am using the Boot Camp Assistant  v3.0.4. I have created a 32GB FAT32 partition and at the point I click Continue Installation (with the XP Pro disc in the drive) the computer reboots to supposedly install.
    What happens instead is I get a revolving censorship/ban circle icon, folder with question mark and apple logo. It just continuously will flash between those 3 icons until I restart.
    Here's what I've tried...
    -removing all other drives. I'm attempting to install on the boot drive which is in bay 1.
    -removed all external devices only things plugged in are my usb keyboard and DVI monitor
    -deleting and recreating the partition
    -I have the xp pro cd in the top drive and the snow leopard cd in the bottom drive (both internal cd/dvd drives)
    Computer:
      Model Name:          Mac Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacPro2,1
      Processor Name:          Quad-Core Intel Xeon
      Processor Speed:          3 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          2
      Total Number Of Cores:          8
      L2 Cache (per processor):          8 MB
      Memory:          10 GB
      Bus Speed:          1.33 GHz
      Boot ROM Version:          MP21.007F.B06
      SMC Version (system):          1.15f3
    No matter what I try I am met with the same results. I have held down the option key and manually selected the windows xp cd. It seems to be booting but immediately turns off my DVI monitor which, well, makes it impossible for me to actually know what is happening. I do have a nvidia GeForce 8800 which only has two DVI ports off the back. I do have the adapter and an old VGA monitor I could pull out of the attic but would rather not unless that is my only option. Can someone in the community please point me in the right direction?
    Many, many, many thanks!
    Curtis
    OKC, OK

    Update: my problem was solved by getting my VGA monitor out of the attic. Once windows was done and I ran the setup.exe off the Snow Leopard CD, all of the drivers were updated to allow me to switch back over to my apple cinema display.
    Also, I did need to hold down the option key to select the windows CD to install...and again to select the windows partition to boot but so far everything is going well with Bootcamp 3.0.4 and XP SP2...other than it is windows.

  • T410 Windows 7 Upgrade - from Win 7 Pro 32 to Win 7 Ultimate 64.

    I purchased a T410 with Win 7 Pro 32 and am looking for the option to upgrade it to Win 7 Ultimate 64.
    The shop in the country (Singapore) do not provide such option/customization.
    Called tech support in the country without getting much info (they said they only support hardware). 
    Tried Lenovo shop in the country and they will only help to upgrade to Pro 64 with a charge, however without any recovery media (OS and drivers).  I need Ultimate 64.
    Browsed Lenovo site and couldn't find anything relevant.
    Hope someone will give me the direction to upgrade from Win 7 Pro 32 to Win 7 Ultimate 64 (with all drivers).
    - Hong
    moderator edit: subject line adjusted for clarity

    Dear Yannick Plavonil,
    That discussion was started by me only on dell community and it was not resolved. 
    However if I upgrade can I revert back to Win 7, if something does not resolve or some of the devices
    connected to the motherboard do not work?
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • New system wont load WIN XP Pro

    Hi all,
    Thanks for all of your help (see last post). I finally got my box together. The problem I have is that I cant get WIN XP Pro to install. It starts the set up and then loads a but load of drivers... then says starting Windows Setup at the bottom right of the screen. Is there something special I need to do?
    I am going to get a new Case and PSU on Monday as I found my power switch is broken on my new case...
    Athlon XP 2400+
    K7n2 D-ILSR
    BFG Asylum GF4 Ti4200
    60 GB Maxtor Diamondmax
    Liteon DVD
    Liteon CDRW
    Fudin Aluminum Case w/ 400 w Raidmax PSU
    Mushkin Level 2 Dual Pack (256x2)
    Also, my cpu fsb is set at 100 mhz, when I set it to 133 the system wont post. The sys gives me a mem error on the D bracket and beeping. Could it be my PSU? will be buying an Antec or Enermax on Monday....

    Hi,
    I have a K7N420D Pro Mobo and I had a similar problem. There were two issues:
    1. I have a PCI RAID controller (add-in card).
    2. I plugged my cable modem into my board's ethernet
       controller (I was hoping for XP to auto detect).
    I tried to install XP on a number of occasions but it failed each time - I removed both of the above and it installed first time.
    I suppose it would be a good idea to keep your Mobo peripherals to a bare minimum whilst installing XP. Install your cards/peripherals once you have XP installed.
    As to your Mem and FSB problem - I've no doubt spomeone'll be along in a minute......
