Windows XP laptop will not renew IP address

I'm a K-8 Technology coordinator trying to run iBooks and HP laptops through Airport Extreme. The iBooks are able to connect to my wireless network, PC's cannot due to inability to obtain an IP address via DHCP. PC network connection properties set to DHCP. Note that my Airport base stations are NOT acting as DHCP servers themselves; this is being done via a Windows DHCP server / domain controller.
Has anyone else experienced anyting like this? Is this a Windows issue since the macs seem OK with the setup?
Any help appreciated.

Windows XP laptop will not recognize Express card V740

I do not have the original install CD that came with this Qualcom Express card. I have downloaded the Verizon Access manager. The laptop will not recognize the card. In Device Manager there are yellow question marks which indicate the drivers are needed.
I have searched this site as well as the internet and I an unable to find the drivers for this card.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi AtlantaGuy. I am sorry you are unable to find the drivers for your wireless device. I will be happy to help you further. Since you do not have the disc, go to www.vzam.net
Once you do that, on the left, click on "Supported Devices".
Search for your specific device and click on the link under the column with your version of windows.
It will then take you through the steps to download the drivers specific to your device.
Please let me know if this works for you. I am here to help
Thanks!

My hp windows 7 laptop will not factory restore

when i try to factory restore my laptop it gets to a screen saying restoring files and been saying that for over 10 hours

but should i hear wired noises coming from it if the hard drives bad bcz i not hear nothing
No. Hard drives do not always make weird noises when they are bad. Weird noises are caused by mechanical failure such as bearings, but when the platters have faults you will not hear any weird noises.

Windows update on windows 7 laptop will not work

Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.
I am receiving the above message every time I click the ' check for updates' icon. Restarting does not resolve the problem.
I have trawled the internet and found a solution that worked for several people- going to services.msc, closing windows update,
deleting files in c:\windows\software distribution, reopening windows update through services.msc- however this has not resolved the issue for me.
Under systems.msc it is listed as started, automatic (delayed)
The Background Intelligence Transfer service is the same. I have checked the profiles of both programs and there are no discrepancies.
I have used the microsoft fix it program. No effect
Please help!

Installing the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver was THE fix for me as well. I had spent many hours on this today trying to resolve the following errors:
Windows Update could not get updates because "the
service was not running" (even though Windows Update and the BITS services and others
were in fact running).
Also Windows Defender Service could not start. I opened the Windows Defender Control Panel applet, it told me it was stopped, I clicked on the Turn On button, while at the same time I monitored the services app (command prompt - services.msc).
I watched the status of Windows Defender service. It kept changing from Stopped to Started just for a second or so, then the service would immediately stop again. In Control Panel, Windows Defender finally timed out
with the same error listed by amerianz: Error 0x8e5e0247: 0x8e5e0247
I tried many things from different search results for these 2 issues. Among other things, after I disabled Antivirus, I stopped WUAUSERV and BITS, renamed Windows\SoftwareDistribution then restarted. I tried a Windows Update
FixIt on the Microsoft FixIt center. It said it found and fixed Windows Update issues, but no change. I tried running SFC /SCANNOW from command prompt. The log said it found corrupted files but this made no difference.
Finally after installing the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver, my PC immediately found new hardware and installed a driver. Note: before installing this driver, all hardware listed in
Device Manager already had drivers installed. I was then prompted to reboot. After rebooting, Windows Update still had a red X and could
not check for updates. So I opened the Windows Defender Control Panel applet, which showed that updates were available. This meant of course that the Windows Defender service had started successfully. I then clicked on the
Check for Updates button on Windows Defender, and after several seconds while Windows Defender was looking for updates, I noticed that the
Windows Update icon had appeared in the system tray and Windows was downloading new updates. Both issues fixed. Many thanks.

Windows 8 Laptop will not recover after closing the lid

I have a Compaq C60-420US.
The OS was Win7 on an OEM install which worked fine. I could close the lid of the laptop and when opened, the OS would resume normal operation.
I upgraded the OS to Win8.
Since the upgrade, when I close the PC top and then open it, I cannot get the computer to respond. The drive shows activity, the DVD sounds like it goes active for a moment but the screen remains black. If I press the on/off button it begins
flashing and when pressed again it does the same type of activity as when I open the laptop cover. I have made sure that the BIOS is up to date. I have tried disabling the CPU sleep mode in BIOS, no change. I have tried disabling hibernate
in power options, no change. I tried reverting to the Win7 video drivers from the HP website, no change. I don't know what else to try.
I have researched this problem on google search and have come up empty other than the things that I have already tried.

There are currently no drivers up on the HP website for this monitor using Win8.
So, try installing Win-7 drivers in compatibility mode.   If switchable graphics are involved see this tip
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video-e-g-Windows-8/I-upgraded-to-Windows-8-How-do-I-get-switchable-graphics-to/m-p/2213275
Also, I think it would be interesting to see if you could boot in VGA mode, e.g. as a workaround if you didn't have the second monitor to use.   A procedure that I have been suggesting on that tack involves this loop, assuming the lock screen is
being shown on the black screen...
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_update/never-ending-cycle-after-windows-update-turns/d36579c0-8fa5-4930-ae57-bc608d26564f?msgId=2a507498-9e0b-4214-9adb-e5342dc841e3
<quote>
<loop>
Shift-Tab, Shift-Enter, wait.   If the drive light start flashing, wait even longer for it to settle down.
</loop>
</quote>
Now I'm wondering if the problem could be related to the resolution required to show your lock screen?  Is there anything special about it in that regard?   If so, maybe the target of my workaround should be the Space Needle?
(E.g. the lock screen for unknown account.)...
Oh, no.   I have made a change which invalidates my procedure and I can't figure out how to undo it.   I have done something which requires me to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete before I can use the Lock Screen. Also, in that case I'm finding
that Shift-Enter may not be appropriate any more but only a Space would be allowed (e.g. for my Plan-B, opening the Accessibility menu in order to hear Narrator's comforting words and then activate Narrator to guide the user through the darkness.)
Why is this being designed to be so unusable?
Good luck

TS1369 My windows 8 laptop will not recognize my iphone 4 ...I have deleted itunes and re-installed it ...I have updated my phone, I have checked my cables. I don't know of anything else to do...I have only had this phone for about 1 month.

I have no idea what else to do to fix this problem, does anyone else?

Mountain Lion is OS X 10.8
10.6 was called Snow Leopard.
To use iTunes 10.7 the following is required:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor and 512MB of RAM
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Safari 4.0.3 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Do you use iTunes Match?
That way all of your songs would be matched with the master song on the iTunes servers independently of iTunes on your Mac or PC...
Look here for further information: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

My address book on my laptop will not delete old addresses and willl not accept new addresses how do I fix that?

I did receive a fix some time ago from a generous person but due to my age 75 the answer was Greek to me. So the problem still stands - could the instructions be posted once again?

You may need to enable the duplexer hardware as described in the Vista Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide. There is also a link there to the patches for Vista back side upside down. When you have the duplexer enabled please post here about the results printing a duplex page. If the back side is upside down the Vista patch can be applied.

Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

Have you verified that your Windows 8.1 is a Pro or Enterprise edition? The Basic edition cannot join a domain.

When using more than one tab, once I have opened a pdf using firefox my laptop will not allow me to type or click in another tab unless I drag the pdf into it's own window?

when using more than one tab, once I have opened a .pdf using firefox my laptop will not allow me to type or click in another tab unless I drag the .pdf into it's own window? not a major problem just irritating.

I found the cause but no solution, it's actually a plugin that does that: divx plus weblpayer (it gets installed when you install DivX on your system), if you disable it and restart firefox it all works again. But I want that plugin... so DivX need to fix this, unless it is a Firefox bug in its own core... anyway these two together creates the problem.
(I'm running Firefox 9.x on OSX Lion)
I also wish firefox tab tear out tab worked more like chrome's tab tear out, much friendlier...

My laptop will not connect to the internet

My laptop will not connect to the internet but my desktop and other laptops will. Can anyone suggest anything?

Yes I don't see problems there.
I presume the 10.0.2.29 on the Mac is just a typo.
There is a good chance windows is just being stupid, which is not surprising.
Reboot the whole system.
Restart in correct order.. modem.. TC.. 2min gap between them, and then PC.
Test with just the PC running.
See if you can open a web page.. no luck
In the command window again, ping the various IP addresses.
So ping 10.0.1.1 first.
Then ping 8.8.8.8
If those pings work, then try and ping a website. eg www.google.com
Does that work or not?
If ping works and the web pages won't open that is one of those hard ones.
Make sure under network in the PC it is located at home.. not work or public. Windows has this nasty habit of flipping itself autonomously between these settings.. take off the firewall if it is still a problem.
And finally go into the TCP/IP settings and change the DNS to 8.8.8.8

Hello -
Try this:
- When you receive the error message that is described in the "Symptoms" section, click Restart.
- Press F8 repeatedly as your computer begins to restart. This triggers the Windows Advanced Options menu.
- Use the arrows on your keyboard to select Last Known Good Configuration, and then press ENTER.
(Also, You can try Safe Mode and do a "System Restore" from there.)
***Last Resort, you will have to edit the registry and this may prevent your computer from booting***
- boot your system and tap away at F8
- Select Safe Mode
- After Windows loads into safe mode.
- Start >> Run >> “regedit” Press Enter.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- Look for the GinaDLL Key
- Select and delete this key and this key ONLY. DO NOT delete the entire Winlogon folder of keys.
- Close Regedit with the RED "X"and reboot the machine

Laptop will not startup.. please help!!

I have a L505D-S5983 w/ Windows 7 that will not start up. when i turn the power on everything looks good, the Toshiba screen pops up like always, then this black "Windows Error Recovery" screen pops up and gives me 2 options 1) Launch Startup Repair and 2) Start Windows Normally. ive dealt with this issue many times on many computers and either option always gets the computer running, but with this machine whenever i press "Start Windows Normally", the screen with the little wavey Windows flag pops like its loading up for about 15 seconds then the computer automatically restarts to the Toshiba screen. when i click the "Launch Startup Repair" option it shows a small progress bar at the bottom of the screen for about 5 seconds then goes to a completely blank black screen with only the arrow pointer showing and just stays there. ive let it sit for over an hour like that and nothing changes. i did a memory diagnostic check which did nothing. im a novice w comps so i dont know what to do. i lost my backup recovery CD so that wont help. could i download one somewhere? would that fix my problem? im so frustrated.. ive had nothing but problems with this laptop since the day i bought it. but i need it running asap. i greatly appreciate any help!!!

first, don't panic! just kidding
if you have not already made recovery discs then you will have to order them from toshiba. that is, unless we are able to use the hidden partition to restore to out-of-box state. Before that though, you should try a few things as going to out-of-box is going to compeltely wipe everything off of your computer.
turn off computer, then when you turn on, spam (hit once ever second) the f8 key and see if you can get into emergeny boot options menu. If it doesn't go in first try, try at least 4-5 more times as it's all about timing the f8 key. if successful, try to boot into safe mode. if you have made it that far, post back.
