Windows 7 and BT Infinity - 'settings saved on thi...

Hi All.
I'd be really grateful if someone can help with the below problem.
We switched to BT Infinity two months ago and initially had no problems.  However, every time we try and connect to the internet with a PC or Laptop running Windows 7 we get the following message: 'The settings saved on this computer do not match the requirements of the network'.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the connection; checked that everything is correct and reset the router.  After resetting the router and changing the details of the connection, it works again, but once turned off and on, it has lost the connection again and displays the 'settings' message.  I also have a Mac, and iPad and iPhone  - all of which have no problems whatsoever with connecting to the internet.
Details:
BT Infinity
Windows 7
Belkin Dongle.
Many thanks

If you do a Google search, its a very common problem with Windows 7 and Vista, with no real solution.
I assume that in your case, the computer simply fails to connect to the wireless network?
What may help, is changing the encryption on the home hub, from wpa/wpa2 to wpa only, as that only leaves one method of authentication.
It may also be worth seeing if there are any driver updates for the Belkin dongle.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • I just installed Airport Extreme. It works as a wireless network on my Macbook. It won't connect with my Windows Visa PC. Message reads: "settings saved on this computer for the network don't match requirements of the network.

    I just installed Airport Extreme. It works as a wireless network on my Macbook. It won't connect with my Windows Visa PC. Message reads: "settings saved on this computer for the network don't match requirements of the network." I seem to need to enter a security key/passphrase to connect to the PC. Where do I find them?
    Thanks for your help.

    I assume that you have Wireless Security enabled on your AirPort's wireless network. The issue maybe that the PC is unable to use the WPA password itself and will require using the Equivalent Network Password instead.
    To get this password, you will use the AirPort Utility from the MacBook:
    Start the AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort base station > Manual Setup
    Now, before doing anything else, go up to the utility's menu bar at the top of the screen, and then, choose "Base Station," and then, Equivalent Network Password from the drop-down menu. You will see two items: 1) WPA Password, which should look familiar to you, and 2) WPA Pre-Shared Key. It should be a long hexidecimal set of numbers and letters. Jot down this second item.
    You will want to use the value you just jotted down when entering the password from the Windows Visa PC.

  • Windows 7 and adobe cs4 "settings"

    Had Windows 7 RC with cs4 and changed some settings and things were smooth, but now when I installed winows 7 and cs4 again and try to minimize a window, instead of the window being rolled up, you see the picture through windows areo menu bar.(see attached).
    Any quick way to fix that?
    Thanks in advance
    U

    Just got the latest ATI driver and what you see is from that, maybe I didnt make my initial post clear enough. What I want to happen in CS4 is to minimize a window, and have it set in the lower left of the program (like the image attached) but ROLLED UP, i do NOT want to see it "thru" the aero task bar, as I think a setting in CS4 needs to be checked somewhere.
    CS4 work should be contained inside the CS4 program...not bleed out into windows
    Normally in the past the minimized icon would set in lower left and roll up, to see it you would have to maximize in CS4.
    Im stuck.....becuse I had this working fine with windows 7 RC 3 months ago, but cant remember what I done in CS4....
    Is there any quick settings to make the program act and run like CS3?

  • "The settings saved on this computer for the network"

    Well, I was bored and I thought it would be cool to put a password on my wireless router, and it ended up messing up all 6 laptops in the house...
    This is probably a frequent question but I've looked it up and many people say the solution is to go to "manage wireless network" and to remove what is there, which did not help.
    Please I need help

    What is the operating system installed on your computers?
    What is the model number of the router?
    Normally this issue gets resolved by removing old network from manage wireless networks.
    Once you remove all the networks from the list, close all the windows and then try connecting to your wireless network.

  • For remembering passwords I once clicked "never for this site" on a site, and have changed my mind and I want Firefox to remember the password for this site. How do I go in and reset the settings to change this?

    My Firefox is set up to delete cache, and all history upon closing. But when I restarted my Firefox, or manually deleted everything, nothing worked. Is there a way to reset these? Or do I have to completely uninstall and reinstall Firefox? Even that might not work though.

    Try creating a new Profile. See [[Profiles]].
    You can recover existing passwords, bookmarks etc., from the current Profile and move them to the new one. See: [[Managing Profiles]]

  • I have tried to get my radio feature to work and it does not.  I followed some advice from this forum on a related question and performed the "settings reset," but this has not solved the problem.  I have icon, headphones, still no reception

    Has anyone else had this problem that just got one?  This is a christmas gift and I was attempting to explore the radio feature and discovered the issue.  Do we have this feature or not??  Thanks for any insight anyone can give.  Thanks and Happy New Year!! 

    You are not pushing the headphones all the way in. Make sure the white plastic is flush with the iPod.

  • How to keep alignment in Windows LARGE and SMALL fonts

    For years, I fought with LabVIEW, trying to keep things looking decent in both Windows LARGE and SMALL font sizes.
    By this, I mean Settings - Control Panels - Display - Settings - Advanced - General - Font Size
    I love to use large fonts - I run my display at 1600x1200 and it just looks better.
    But if you plop an indicator on a panel in LARGE fonts, save it, then open it with SMALL fonts in effect, it looks horrible.
    N.I. Doesn't care about this - just look at how ugly their own examples get when viewed in LARGE fonts.
    So I developed a method to make the bottom of the label text line up with the bottom of the numerical text, whether in LARGE fonts or SMALL.
    Click here for examples. Basically, I turn OFF the SIZE to TEXT attribute and right-justify the label (if on the left of the numeric).
    This works OK, except I have just discovered that it depends on the text being the default size.
    If I have a 17-pt numeric with a 17-point label, then they both appear as 13-pt when I switch to SMALL fonts - great -- they're still aligned.
    But if I have a 17-point numeric with a 16-pt label, when I switch to SMALL, the numeric shrinks to 13, but the label stays at 16, and is thus vertically misaligned with the numeric.
    So how can I have a 17-pt numeric with a 13-pt label, and have them BOTH shrink when I switch to SMALL fonts?
    I suppose I could use property nodes, and detect the switch myself, but I have 50+ of these on a single VI to do - that would be ugly to watch the labels jumping around.
    I suppose I could have two VIs - one for LARGE fonts and one for SMALL, but I don't want to duplicate th
    e code.
    Any other ideas?

    It is true that we don't have a
    solution.  It isn't that we don't care, but the solution choices stink.
    Well, I'll stand by my opinion that N.I. doesn't care - when using the default app font, there *-IS-* a solution - the link in my original post points to a page that I show my employees on how to solve the problem. It is solvable, for the case of using the default font and size. Yet N.I. uses the default font and size, but LOOK HOW THEIR EXAMPLES APPEAR (see attached files). This is how the example software looks, out of the box. These are not ancient examples, either.
    It is NOT my opinion that, because there apparently is no solution for non-standard sizes, the stuff looking ugly is NI's fault.
    But when a solution DOES exist for standard sizes, why they don't apply it is beyond me. Even some of the LabVIEW dialogs suffer from this.

  • I am trying to install a free app but when I enter my apple ID in the itunes and apps in the settings, it says "this apple id has not been used in the itunes store". And it won't enter my apple id and I can't install the app What can I do about this?

    Why is my iphone does not accept my apple ID when entered in itunes and apps in settings?

    Is this a new Apple iD? If it is, and you have already set it up, then you have two options:
    1.     Temporarily put a Credit Card or Gift Card on the account to download the free app. If you put a credit card, then once you have downloaded the app, you should be able to go into your Account preferences and change the payment option to = None.
    2.     You can download the fee App, and then set up a new Apple ID.

  • I just factory restored my iPod 5 touch and when I plug it into iTunes to restore the back up I made, iTunes becomes unresponsive and closes. But when I unplug the iPod, it starts working again. Using Windows 8 and iTunes is updated, please help.

    I just factory restored my iPod 5 touch and when I plug it into iTunes to back it up, iTunes stops responding and closes. This only occurs when the iPod is plugged in, when it isn't, iTunes works fine. I am using Windows 8 and iTunes is updated (as of this posting). Any suggestions on getting around this? Thank you.

    Also, when I put it through the Windows diagnostic, it lists an "incompatible program" WHILE my iPod is plugged in.

  • In place upgrade Windows 2008 and SQL 2008

    Setup 1 Host with 2 VM's running Windows 2008 R2 on Host and Windows 2008 R2/sqL 2008 on VM's.
    1. Host1(running 2 VM's) - In-place upgrade windows 2008 R2 to windows 2012 R2

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    If you want migrate from windows 2008r2 to windows 2012r2, you must install windows server 2008r2 sp1.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn303416.aspx
    For the host 1 upgrade, please refer to the following:
    http://blog.powerbiz.net.au/server-2012/in-place-upgrade-from-windows-server-2008-r2-to-windows-server-2012/
    For the SQL in-place upgrade, i think you may need to ask in SQL forums:

  • File Sharing between Windows PC and MacBook Pro using Internet Sharing

    I have a MacBook Pro and a Dell Latitude D820 running Windows XP SP2 and I want to connect both using any of these two options. I do not have a wireless router and I use Sprint 3G data card to access internet.
    1) I access the internet using a EVDO data card on my MAC and use Internet sharing to access the internet on my Dell laptop. How do I access the files on my PC from my MAC?
    2) I can have two EVDO data cards to access the MAC and PC independently. How can I setup file sharing between Windows laptop and MAC?

  • I cannot printany web pages or emails over a wireless home network. My OS is windows 7 and am using an Epson printer. I know I have the home network set up correctly as i can print files over the network.

    I cannot print any email or web pages over a wireless home network. I know that I can print my files over this network, just not anything from the web or emails using Firefox. I am using Windows 7 and printing to an Epson.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == when I set up the wireless home network.

    The most likely reason for this is that the wrong printer is chosen in the File->Print window.
    In Firefox, go to File->Print and click the dropdown box with printer names. Ensure that the correct network printer is selected, then try printing again.

  • How do I stop Citrix Receiver to stop changing my visual settings? (Windows 7 and 8)

    My company uses Citrix Receiver to provide remote access to some LOB applications and network resources. I understand it to be a popular system in that market.  Every time I use it, however, it drives me nuts by changing the visual settings on my computer
    so that dragging a window results in an outline:
    ^this happens in Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. Probably any OS. I just want to know how to block a program from
    causing it.
    This isn't saving any bandwidth: this happens on my locally-running programs on my desktop: they aren't streaming anywhere.  It's like Citrix is trying to take a bandwidth-saving action but applying it to the wrong end.
    Even if this was proper behavior (which it absolutely can't be), it should respect the user and put it back when you close your remote connection.  But it doesn't even do that.
    This drives me insane.  I've tried setting the display key in the registry to read-only.  This prevents the checkbox in the visual effects page from changing, but doesn't actually block the change itself.  After that happens, you have to go
    into the effect settings, set it to to outlines (which it already is), apply, then correct it to full-window and apply again.  But first you have to go allow permissions on the registry settings again, so you aren't saving any time or sanity
    with that trick.
    So seriously, is there any way to stop this?  I've tried registry permissions and group policy settings. All seem to only block access to the options a user could use to change it, and not preventing the change from occurring.
    I've petitioned Ctrix on their own forums too but I've received no replies in months.

  • Where are custom equalizer settings saved on windows pc

    Where are iTunes custom equalizer settings saved on my Windows 7 hard drive? I always backup the entire iTunes folder and use that to restore everything after reformatting my hard drive. Everything restores EXCEPT the custom equalizer settings. Which file contains my custom EQ settings, and where is it found?

    Go to Edit>Preferences>Presets>Show Lightroom Presets Folder.
    These folders are usually (see below) actually in the same folder called 'Lightroom' where your catalog lives.
    If you back up the entire 'Lightroom' folder they should be there unless you have elected to put the folder elsewhere.
    Either way 'Show Lightroom Presets Folder' takes one there.
    You can copy and back it up seperately or as part of the greater 'ightroom folder' back up.
