Vista and BEFW11S4 issues

Hi Everyone. I have a Wireless B Router model BEFW11S4 v 4.0. We recently bought a new computer that has Windows Vista. Recently we started having some problems with the internet. Our Windows Firewall is OFF as we have Norton 360 v 2.0. Our problem is that certain websites will not load. It appears that there is a timeout issue. One is www.comics.com. We have not had a problem with this site in the past, even on this computer with this setup. We have not installed or uninstalled any softwares or hadware and have made no changes whatsoever. About a week ago the site was accessing just fine. The error we get when attempting to view certian sites is:
Address Not Found
can't find the server
The browser could not find the host server for the provided address.
    * Did you make a mistake when typing the domain?
    * Are you certain this domain address exists? Its registration may have expired.
    * Are you unable to browse other sites? Check your network connection and DNS server settings.
    * Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
When using Vista's help section we learned that some older routers are "not fully compatible" with Vista and we're trying to determine if this is the case with ours. We found a firmware download from Linksys that was v 1.52.02. It is a bin file but did not indicate where to save the file to. Is this the "fix" to the Vista compatibility issue? Where do we save this file then? We did perform the Vista Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool and the test results indicate that the following were not supported: TCP High Performance Tool and UPnP Support Test.
When following the insturctions from Linksys to ping linksys.com all requests timed out. I did perform the ipconfig/all command but don't know if those results are necessary to show here. I don't want to overload on TMI (too much information). Can someone please help us? This "limited" internet ability is really become troublesome and we just want to make sure we can resolve this issue. Any help is appreciated. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

To make matters worse I just spent an hour in a live chat with someone who gave me misinformation! This person told me to reset the router by pressing and holding the reset button for 30 seconds and that this would reset the password back to "admin" and allow me to make these changes. He also said that I needed to completely shut down and unplug everything from the back of the router, with the exception of the power cord, and perform the reset, then plug everything but the cable modem back in, boot the computer and then go to the setup page and go through the entire process of configuring the router, setting up the network and then going through the power cycle. Well, this would be a great option if resetting the router actually reset my password, it didn't so I couldn't get in to perform the rest of the instructions. He told me that if I ran into problems I should call 1-800-326-7114 for immediate free assistance by another technician who could walk me through everything. Upon calling that number I'm told that because my router isn't covered any longer by warranty that I'd have to pay $29.99 just for the one technical call to answer my question as to how to reset the password. This is absurd! My router is working fine now since I got the updated firmware. I don't need any setup support or troubleshooting. I just need to reset my password for the setup page so that I can make some changes and have access to this in the future. I'm not going to pay $30 for something that isn't related to a repair issue! I can't believe I spent all this time dealing with a live chat person who kept giving me misinformation repeatedly (he gave me the wrong steps for procedures repeatedly) and was then directed to free tech support by phone and suddenly expected to pay $30 just for a generic question. Is this really the typical type of "service" to expect from Linksys? Can't anyone give me the proper answer to reset my password or an alternate method if resetting the router didn't work? I've reset the router about 5 times now and it's not resetting the password. I can log in only using Firefox (not IE) but then I can't make any changes. If being misinformed and lied to is really how Linksys treats their customers I think I'll go elsewhere for an upgrade. Is this really how I should expect to be treated?

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC - Webcam and microphone issues

When attempting to use Skype or other videochat programs, I receive an error messaage asking me to enable webcam/microphone. I have gone into the control panel and checked that the integrated webcam and microphone are enabled. Perhaps the programs/drivers behind the hardware have been removed? I am not very computer savvy, but I am sure the issue is not a virus. Any help appreiated.

Well, although iTunes 7.1.0.59 (and now 7.1.1.5) cleared up some problems with running/installing iTunes software on it, Vista isn't really officially compatible at the moment.
What exactly is happening when installing the iTunes/iPod software?
If you are getting any error messages, please quote what ehey say, and/or when the problem occurs.
Be sure that you've upgraded to the latest iTunes version (7.1.1.5). Here is the download page for it:

T42 Vista and Full screen video

How can I enjoy full screen video when viewing videos from myspace,youtube and so on I get no full screen support how can this be done?

If there are other applications for wich you might use flash, you should keep flashplugin installed. You can use /etc/chromium/default to append some flags to tell chromium to use the pepper-flash plugin instead. In fact, I think that the chromium-pepper-flash package might actually do this for you in the install scripts.

Active call speaker and microphone issue

I recently was using my included headphones, and after stopping, found that when I placed a call, I couldn't hear the caller, and they couldn't hear me. If I replaced the headphones, I could use them to make and receive calls. Same for bluetooth headset. Same for the speaker.
What I found out may help others with the same problem (the genius bar people told me that I would have to send it in for a repair - it was a hardware problem they said.)
It seems that dust or dirt in the headphone jack may caused the phone to think that the headphones were still plugged in. Some forceful blowing in the jack, and viola! Return to glory.
Better than a $29 temporary replacement . . .
h

I had this happen to me today. I tried turning the phone off and on and restoring to factory defaults without any change in the problem. Even tried this blow in the headphone jack trick and tried pluging my Belkin headphone adapter into the jack a few times with no resolution. Finally did a hard reset on the phone twice and it is working again for now.

Audio/Microphone Issue - Lumia 920

I suddenly have an audio and microphone issue with my Lumia 920 which I've had for two months.
Regarding the microphone, people are suddenly having a tough time hearing me speak into the phone in conversation.
Regarding the audio, the noise from playing video is working, but I can not hear any music. The music is running, but no sound.
Very frustrating problems.
Thanks for any help.

I think Nokia is taking this issue way too lightly. It is now a rampant problem with the 920. People just cannot hear me when I make or receive a call. I do not have any protective case that would interfere with the microphone function etc.
I have searched the issue - and it is becoming a common problem that people have a hard time hearing you on a call - unless, that is, if you use speaker phone function.
Is Nokia going to address this issue - or keep treating it as a non-issue? I have requested a replacement from AT&T - but I anticipate the same issue coming up with it. I would rather not have my phone replaced - especially if Nokia/MS could issue an update that solves this issue.
Thanks

Windows Vista and BPS0 - Strange issue

I just got a new HP Pavilion laptop with Vista and I have a strange issue:
All transactions work (SE80, RSA1, ...) except BPS0. The moment I enter TCode BPS0, I get completely logged out (all sessions). No error messages, no dumps. It just logs me out silently.
Is this happening only to me?
I use Windows Vista Home Premium edition and AMD Turion processor 64x2.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

CRM 5.0 IC Webclient Issue - Upgrading OS to Windows Vista and I.E 7.0

Dear Gurus,
I'm supporting CRM 5.0 and right now, users are running the IC
Webclient on Internet Explorer v 6.0. Recently, there has been
plans to upgrade the OS on users' PC to Windows Vista and it
comes with I.E 7.0. I checked the Product Availability Matrix on
SAP and found that there is a patch to cater for I.E 7.0.
My users are also using CTI function. However,there is no patch for CRM SAP Groupware Connector for IE 7.0.
Please assist. If CTI cannot function with IE 7.0, my users will
be stuck with OS Windows XP.

Dear John,
Thank you for your reply. I am a newbie in this area. Do bare with me for my inquiries on the subject.
For my customer's implementation, the ICI interface has been configured to communicate to external communication management software from Nortel.
I raised such an inquiry because, per my checking on the PAM for CRM 5.0, the information on SAP Groupware Connector is parked under the Web Browser tab. Per my understanding,the Groupware Connector executes message synchronization
between the CRM server and the Groupware server, in this case, it would be the AMC server.
I was wondering on:
1. the impact it would have on the above matter, if patches were to be applied on the server
2. whether there is a relation between the Group Connector and ICI interface, that would cause an impact on IC Webclient if patches for the browser upgraded is applied to the CRM server. There is no patch available for Groupware Connector for I.E 7.0.
The patches to be applied are for the following components:
SAP_ABA - Cross-Application Component
SAP_BASIS - SAP Basis Component
SAP_AP - SAP Application Platform
SAP_BW - BBPCRM
Please assist. I'd appreciate your help.
p/s: Are you using IE 7.0 with CRM? Was the server patch process a challanging one? Hope you can share. TQ

New MBP 17 inch Problems with Windows Vista, and BF 2142

Hello!
So I just have 2 little issues that bug the **** out of me. OSX runs flawless. I love it.. But I use Vista to run Battlefield 2142.
So my first issue is the microphone. If I go to close the lid of the MBP, I get feedback from the speakers, and microphone. Even though I have the microphone on mute for Vista, it doesn't mute the microphone all the way.
If I Hook up a headphone to the output jack I can close the lid since it disables the MBP speakers.. But all my tapping and grunting can be heard via the heaphones.
Does anyone know if there is a fix? Or why the **** Vista isn't muting the device properly?
Now my other issue is Battlefield 2142.
I can get it running only when I have a External monitor plugged into the MBP, and the Lid is closed.
If I try to run Battlefield 2142 without a external monitor, and using the Display of the MBP, it crashes.. I have tried a ton of different Resolutions, and it is always the same story each time.
If anyone else has had these issues, and has found a solution, please share.
Thank you!
P.S Oh, another thing. I have a Quad G5 that I run Logic Pro on. It came out right before the Intel Mac Pro machines. If I sold the G5, and and used this new Macbook Pro, would the Macbook Pro that I now have perform better than my older G5 in Logic Pro?

found a fix. has to do with the ini file... just had to do more searching on google.

Error 4801, but not using Vista and have mic plugged into jack.

Hi, i'm working on a project that involves inputing from a microphone, running it through a filter and then an FFT, and then doing some analysis on the data. For the input from the microphone, i'm having some issues. I basically drew all of the input functionality from the "Continuous Sound input.vi" example vi, which works on my computer, with a microphone and does display the signal. However, when i copied that over and modify it a little, the Sound read has either one of two errors. When i place the "Sound Clear" sub vi outside of the inner while loop, the Sound Read sub vi appears to have some sort of error relating to overflowing the buffer (i think 4822, but not 100%), no matter how low i put the samples/second and elapsed time function to exit the loop. If i put the Sound Clear sub vi INside the loop (not how it is in the continuous sound input vi, then i get error 4801, described here:
[\Quote]
Error 4801 occurred at an unidentified location
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: (Hex 0x12C1) Invalid sound task refnum.
What steps can I take to resolve this issue?
Solution:
Error 4801 is given because the sound driver in Windows Vista disables the microphone and line-input jacks when it does not detect a source plugged into the jack. The hardware is disabled by the Windows Operating System, not National Instruments software or drivers. This behavior is not seen on XP computers, only on Vista.
The resolution is to plug in a microphone or audio source to the computer. Windows Vista will detect the microphone or audio source, and error 4801 will be resolved.
[/endquote]
This seems very strange that i should recieve this error, as i am running win7, not vista, and have a microphone plugged in. The microphone jack is working - i've tested that with other programs and the continuous sound input.vi, so it works just fine. I just have no idea what to do at this point to fix the problem. My code is attached, Thanks for any assistance in advance!

Hi ir0nsoul,
Thank you for the detailed explanation of your issue. To begin, the reason you are getting the overflow error is because the number of samples needs to be 1/10th of the sample rate. Next, you need to have the Sound Input Clear.vi outside of your while loop because you are clearing the task immediately after you read, so the next time it goes to read, it won't find the stream anymore. Finally, to see if Windows recognizes your microphone, use the Acquire Sound Express VI and check the drop down menu to see if your microphone is listed (use the device ID to set the control back in the Continuous Sound Input.vi). I suggest getting your microphone to work with the Continuous Sound Input.vi first and then add you modifications later. Hope this helps!

Vista SP1 -- Driver issues with T61

Vista SP1 is now avaibale through automatic downloads. However, it is not available for my T61. A quick search on the net reveals that there appear to be some issues with the drivers -- finger print and Intel integrated video drivers.
Are there any workarounds available?
Any idea where one could download the new drivers?
Is anyone else also experiencing these issues?

Hello,
I have installed the slipstreamed DVD containing Microsoft Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 from MSDN on my T61p and reinstalling the latest downloadable versions of the Lenovo-provided software without any problems, however, that was with a retail installation of Windows Vista and not the Lenovo-provided OEM version.
It could be there is something about your T61's operating environment which prevents the service pack from being displayed on in Windows Update. Microsoft knowledgebase article #948343, "Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is not available for installation from Windows Update and is not offere..." explains the eight most likely reasons for this, along with steps on how to troubleshoot them.
If none of those seem to apply and you are ready to proceed, here are links to the download pages for Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 1:
Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone (32-bit)
Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone (64-bit)
Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Release Notes
What you might want to do is back up any valuable data, make sure you have any other files available for software you might need to reinstall in case things go badly, and then try applying the service pack. I wrote a short note in my personal blog here about some steps to take before installing the service pack—nothing that should really surprising, though.
Regards,
Aryeh Goretsky

T42 - Vista upgrade - very slow laptop - help please

Hi
I have installed Vista Home Premium on my T42 (previously had XP Pro) and it is now very, very slow. Also it seems to have erased everything IBM - ie -Access IBM button not working.
Type 2373 - f1G, HD 40mb, Memory 500kb.
Do I need to increase hard disk? or memory? or both?
If I choose to reinstall XP Pro, how do I go about it? I do not have the original XP Pro disk and assume it must have been preloaded.
Sorry for the number of questions but I seem to have got myself into a situation over which my expertise is sadly lacking. Beginning to wish I left well alone.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Maureen

Welcome to the forum!
There are several issues at work here:
a) RAM. You need at least (which is the maximum for your machine, BTW) 2GB for Vista to run properly.
b) Larger/newer/faster hard disk would also help.
c) Please be advised that your GPU is NOT supported by Vista and that you'll have to look for modded drivers on the web, and even with them your scores won't be good.
In my opinion, XP is the way to go for your machine. You can call Lenovo and order a set of recovery disks for a nominal fee.
Should you choose to stay with Vista, go to "support and downloads" page on Lenovo's website, put in your model number and start updating and unpacking the drivers...
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
George

Satellite L300D built-in microphone issue

I got my satellite L300D (model # PSLC8C-06100F) about a year ago, and when I first went to use skype it couldn't find a microphone.
I assumed that, unlike my previous satellite, the L300D just didn't come with a microphone built-in.
However, a couple of weeks ago I was on skype and having issues with the microphone headset I had plugged in, and when I unplugged it I suddenly had great sound coming through the built-in mic I thought wasn't there!
The problem is I haven't been able to so much as find it - let alone make it work again - since that one time.
What's going on here?
I obviously HAVE a built-in mic, but neither my computer nor skype can seem to find it.
If anyone out there can help me out on this I'd be very grateful!

I'm actually running windows 7 home premium (a free upgrade from vista came with the laptop), but when I followed your advice the options "configure microphone", "set up a microphone", "find and fix audio recording problems", and "manage audio devices" come up.
When I click on "configure microphone" I get a window that says "click on 'start' button to start the microphone configuration' which, when I do, pops up another window that says "generating source object failed".
When I click on "set up a microphone" I get a window pop up that says "No audio input device found: Make sure your audio hardware is working properly and check your audio configuration in the Audio Devices and Sound Themes control panel", which doesn't exist (though I've looked through everything to do with audio I can find in my control panel, and everything keeps coming up empty to detect a microphone).
When I click on "find and fix..." I get a troubleshooting window pop up which performs a diagnostic and comes up with a window that says "plug in the microphone or headset: the peripheral device does not appear to be plugged in. Check the connection. Proceed to the next step to finish".
When I click on "Manage audio devices" I get the "sound" window with "playback, recording, sounds, communication" tabs. When I click on the "recording" tab it shows a microphone icon called "microphone: Realtek High Definition Audio" (which is also the name of the speakers!), but underneath it reads "Not plugged in"! When I plug in my headset mic it finds it and changes to "default device". The bottom of that window has an option to change default, but it's greyed out and won't let me select it.
Everything points to nonexistence of a built-in mic, but as I stated above I KNOW there is one because it randomly started working! What the hell is going on!!!???
