Vista Ultimate WiFi dropping frequently and causing BSODs

Hey guys, I have vista Ultimate SP1 installed on my iMac via bootcamp, when I am not using the network heavily,the network will disconnect every hour, when I try to copy files from time capsule, it drops out every 5-10 minutes, this really isn't helpful when I'm trying to transfer 30+ gigs of data, as I keep having to restart it Also I get the odd BSOD which I think relates to this.
All help is appreciated, thanks

Not all routers and modems work well with Windows 7/Vista.
See if there is firmware for your network equipment.
Upgrade to Win7, much better WiFi and networking.

Bootcamp Wifi Drops frequently after install in Mac OS and Windows??

Hi all, I'm running vista via bootcamp on a macbook pro 10.5.8. Ever since I'm installed bootcamp I'm having problems with my wifi dropping after say 15mins. This happens both in vista and mac os. The connection drops but still appears active via the status icons. I've updated the drivers via my mac os disc and web updates but still have the problem. Any thoughts as its bugging me now.
Also how can I make vista accept a direct connection to the internet via ethernet?
Cheers,
Devs.

Install the MacDrive trial on the PC and copy off/delete enough data from the Mac drive to allow it to boot up.

WiFi Dropping On and Off

I got my 3g iPhone over the weekend, and have had trouble staying connected to WiFi networks. I've tested on three different WiFi networks and had the same results:
1. iPhone takes awhile (maybe a minute or so) to find the network in order to sign on initially.
2. iPhone often does not show full strength on the WiFi signal indicator, even when I am within 5-10 feet of the wireless router, with nothing between iPhone and router.
3. iPhone will lose WiFi connection within 1-3 minutes, and periodically pick it up again, dropping on and off with no perceivable rhyme or reason. This happens at very close distances to the router, and farther away (25-50ft.), and it happens without moving the iPhone...sitting on a table or desk, it will just drop WiFi and pick it up.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks.

No. The devices described in the article above can still cause interference.
Is there any chance this is an iPhone hardware issue? If so, what are my potential remedies, given that I >bought it less >than a week ago? It seems unlikely to me, but I hate beating my head against the wall >unnecessarily.
This does not sound like a hardware issue with the iPhone but, if you believe it is, you can make a reservation to see a Mac Genius. The Mac Genius can take a look at the iPhone and test it with the open Wi-Fi network at the Apple retail store.

I recommend restoring the iPhone to rule out software issues.

Make sure the wireless router has the latest firmware updates available. Also, try to hard reset the router to factory default settings and reconfigure it.

Window Vista Ultimate Updates - Error 80071A91 and 490

I can't update Windows Vista because of these errors, and I can't find any info on how to fix them other than buying registry software. Will this help? Any ideas? I have a T61p w/ Windows Vista Ultimate.
Thank you!

Quicktime doesn't open either and sends same error message

My airport will sporadically drop connection and cause my network to fall

My airport extreme will suddenly without warning drop connection and have the blinking yellow/orangeish light. Sometimes it only lasts for a few seconds other times it will last for a few minutes. I have looked at my cable modem and it is still working fine with all indicator lights up and blinking in sequence as they should be. Just wondering what is causing this? It has caused for a lot of problems as I have uninstalled and totally reset up my entire network, which has caused me to not be able to install my printer to be used over the network wirelessly. I am at my wits end and about 2 more hours away from just doing a time machine reset to a month ago when things were working optimally. Only thing is everythign that I have downloaded to my itunes will be lost.

No, my airport is over a year old, I have been using this one since May or April of last year. First time I have had any problems out of it. And I refuse to pay money to have an apple service tech tell me there is nothing that can be done.

Frequent and unpredictable BSOD Ideapad S510p Touch Windows 8.1 64 bit

HELP! My Ideapad S510p has accrued over 10 BSODs over the past 2 weeks. It is totally random, not due to putting it in sleep mode, and apparently is caused by a failure in the ntoskrnl.exe and usbehci.sys.
I have tried looking for malfunctioning devices, and disabled bluetooth as it was apparently not working.
I also installed several new drivers.
This solved nothing, and I am at a loss of what to do entirely.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I'm hoping that I can do something to solve it, because if not, I am most definitely going to consider a new computer (not a Lenovo!) to replace this 4-month old disappointment.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Actually, I solved this issue myself after a while.
I induced a system restore prior to the date when I began to experience this error.
It then happened once more, so I went to the "PC Settings" menu and selected "Update and recovery".
There were apparently updates to be installed, so I clicked "More details/information", and found that there were 3 Intel-related drivers that were listed, but for some reason, Windows 8 didn't automatically install them, so I checked each one of them and proceeded to install them and it has been smooth sailing for me ever since that.
SO.
A piece of advice for all those who have experienced the issue I detailed in my former post:
Check what updates need to be installed on your computer in the "PC Settings" app thing, and see if there are any driver-realted updates (like for your graphics card, especially).

Installed CS3 on new Vista Ultimate 64-bit laptop and having problems

I'm aware that CS3 was not made to run on a 64-bit computer, but I'm just wondering if there are workarounds for the errors that I am having. First, when I open ID I get a Javascript error 30619. It doesn't seem to effect the application any to just click through the warning and proceed, but I get it everytime I open the app and that gets old quick. I can live with that, however, but the real annoying issue that I've come across that is really driving nuts is the failure of the "enter" key to give me a paragraph break like it's supposed to. Both the enter keys now give me a page break no matter what key combination I use. I no longer have paragraph break, line break, or column break at my fingertips and I use them all a lot. I literally have to copy and paste them or choose them from the insert characters menu. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this and if there is a workaround or a fix?

This was a fresh install on a new computer. I had errors with the install that appear to be common with Acrobat Pro on 64 bit computers. It crashed the install and I had to remove what had installed and retry the install from scratch. I clicked past the error on the Acrobat Pro install on the second try and was able to get the full suite to install, but it's not functioning correctly. ID is the only application I've used at length so far, and I've run into the two errors I mentioned in the original post.
Should I try the install again? I had to get a phone activation because my other laptop fatally crashed before I could remove the suite, so I don't want to have to deactivate and activate the software again.

HT204409 wifi on 3gs drop in and out why?

why does my wifi drop in and out on my 3gs ?

Power cycle the Wi-Fi router.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Does the issue still occur?
If so, try a restore as new.
If it still continues, you may have a hardware issue. Take it to Apple for evaluation.

Wifi drops in Windows XP SP2

Hello. I partitioned my Macbook pro with boot camp and installed Windows SP2 on the partition. I then upgraded to SP3 almost immediately.
I began to notice that my wifi internet would drop after awhile. I would have to tell it to reconnect quite frequently. Thinking that perhaps SP3 was the source of the problem, I uninstalled it. However, the wifi drops persist and I don't know where to go next. Any suggestions?
My audio is also troublesome (it stutters for a couple seconds randomly), but one problem at a time.
Thank you.
Garrett

I have this exact same problem. Anybody know of a solution?

Thinkpad comes with Vista Ultimate, need downgrade to xp

Hi guys,
just purchased a thinkpad tablet pc with preinstalled vista ultimate and wanna downgrade to xp. where can i get the xp install cds?
im in germany.
and is it possible i get the vista ultimate recovery cd from lenovo 'cause the recovery is only on the hard disk.
thx in advance.

You have to burn yourself a set of recovery media using an external dvd burner. Downgrade wise, you will have to call Lenovo and see whether you are still eligible for a downgrade, which you must pay a service and handling charge.
But if you are using tablet, i suggest you stay with Vista, as the XP tablet edition is not that great.

Premiere Pro CS4 eats my C: drive in Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1

I installed Premiere Pro CS4 this last weekend 11-12 April 2009.
I have a Quadcore 3.0GHz with 8Gb of RAM, a 150Gb C: drive fo rthe op sys Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1 and programs, a 500Go D: drive for general data and a K: drive 2Tb RAID0 volume useable about 1.8Gb.
My C: drive was healthy after installation of Premiere Pro with tens of gigabytes free at least. Then I started experimenting with building projects. I put my files on a mix of the D: and K: drives especially the AVCHD video assets on the K:.
While importing these AVCHD assets I eventually got a message from Vista that the C: drive was full and I did a clean up and that gave approximetely 30Gb free, I went back to importing, in a couple of hours the 30Gb was gone, this can only be Premiere Pro CS4 eating the C: drive and never returning what it takes. This of course is a disaster precisely because it is my op sys drive and Vista will periodically want to make new restore points especially before applying downloaded updates from Microsoft. I ahve run also chkdsk and defragmenter with no effect. I think Premiere Pro is using some sort of secret work files on the C: drive somewhere and that they just accumulate, of course this would be a bug.
Support Center does not appear to let me open web support issues even though we are in the 90-day bug fix period and I have registered the product with the product key so that is another bug that gets in the way of fixing the first.
Any ideas please?
Thanks!
Peter.

Yeah, I did not take backups that often cos I did not intend putting the machine onto the net, then I got this device that said it would protect against everything by isolating my machine and making it invisible, I await the analysis by the company but it does appear not to have worked, the only thing that works is very real physical isolation and do not use the internet at all from the main machine. Like I say it simply is not confirmed yet but neither is it denied. You cannot actually go so far as to blame Adobe because stopping hackers is the job of the op sys vendor really so I blame Microsoft, the only blame for Adobe is the policy that some functions require internet connection in order to work when they know internet is not secure, so for instance if you want to use the emulators for things like these mobile phones they want you to be connected, I tried that one phone emulator and it said so, I wish they just put all documentation and all software on the DVD. I can roll back to an earlier Vista version from a USB backup disk that is always powered off, then rebuild as necessary, but I want the security firm to see if it is a trojan in fact first and to see if it can upgrade the security device and provide a roll out of the trojan's work. Right now I am still scripting the documentary and this second quarter is getting this Premiere Pro up ready for third quarter production so I can be philosophical for now, but yes later I will get more disciplined. But at least now I (almost) know the security device is not the all singing wonder they said it was. Oh well. I use a second machine too, a PS3 with Linux, that is what I am using now, this one doesn't seem to get hacked even though it is my sacrificial machine.

Adobe deserves criticism for its shoddy QC, but not for maing you exposing your main machine at risk on the internet. I never do that, and I never have had a virus or malware on it--never in all the years I've been doing this. I have picked up a few on my internet machine, though, but they are easily fixed with the security scheme I use.
As for restore points possibly eating up disk space, which you alluded to earlieranother never for me. Restore points are a half assed measure at best. My security system is a full clone backup of my C drive starting the day I install and OS on it, and every time I add add a program, and every day when I am working a big complex project. Otherwise, once a week. It takes a few minutes only. That way I can restore everything in equally few minutes should anything bad happen, like poorly designed software affecting other software, a virus, malware, etc, and including drive failurewhich has happened twice over the years.
Don't get me wrong, a virus checker is very useful to a point, but real security design has to start long before you install one, especially if your machine is the heart of your business, as it is for me. What is that old saying? An ounce of prevention is worth..........

Itunes has stopped working vista ultimate

Hi All,
I am using Vista ultimate 32bit fully updated and have itunes 7.6 installed.
Each time I open itunes an error appears saying itunes has stopped working.
Itunes 7.5 was like this but occasionally did open, however 7.6 just refuses to open at all, and after buying my nephew a 160 gig classic today for his birthday he is more than a little upset with this and would be grateful for any help solving this issue.
Apple updater software used to crash, however, since downloading itunes 7.6 that has just ran for the first time ever with no problems.
Please could someone point me to a solution to this very frustating problem. I have looked online for a uk support phonehumber for apple and can't find one, and after spending £500 on ipods in the last two weeks am a little upset wth this.

I'm running Vista Home. After I upgraded to 7.0.29, I purchased 2 songs. 1-downloaded, the other did not. It does not show in purchased. But I have a receipt. So, I contacted them via eMail.
First, the reply said that they put it in my account. So, when I went to my account, it wasn't there. I wrote them back.
Second recply was that they didn't verify that it made it into my account and assured me it was not there.
Since then, when i try to signin to my account, it says, "access iTunes Store..." AND THAT IS IT. I have uninstalled the software. I have wiped out the folders. I have removed the registry keys. I have re-installed the software and I get THE SAME RESULT - "Accessing iTunes Store" and that is it.
I have tried contacting them again and again as this is now day #3 and I am getting NO replies. I have tried to find a number to call then and they don't have support any other way except eMail. My requests for help are falling on deaf ears AND THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS AND KEEP YOUR CUSTOMERS HAPPY. I'm sorry I ever purchased this iPod.
