WRT54GS / Dell laptop compatability problem

Model WRT54GS This router has worked perfectly for over a year but recently my Dell laptop does not pick up the WiFi signal until the following is carried out- Start-run-services.mscWireless zero config(service status is always stopped) start service status start-control panel-network connections-right click wireless network-propertiesI have to tick the “use windows for wireless network” then remove the displayed network “Raymond” from the box. At this point the laptop sees the wireless network and after typing in the WEP code I get access. HOWEVER whenever I switch the laptop off/on I have to repeat the above steps  to find  theWiFi. Can you suggest a fix so my laptop automatically sees the wifi on being switched on?? Many thanks, Raymond Lynch 

It is because you are having any wireless utility other than Windows(WZC) to connect the network on your laptop.You have to use the utility to connect your wireless network.As you have a dell laptop, you might have the dell utility installed on your computer...

    What are you talking about? If I'm not not mistaken the iPad was released in April 2010 so there is no 2009 iPad version.

  • Printing problem from my Dell Laptop to my printer

    Hi everyone.  I'm new at this, but really need some help.  I have a Wireless Dell Laptop, and it uses Vista.  When I was with Comcast, I was able to print to the Wireless HP Officejet J6480 All in One printer.  However, we changed to Qwest recently, and since then I haven't been able to print from my Wireless Dell Laptop to my printer. When I try to print a Word Document, an error message comes up that the printer is off-line.  I went in and changed it to on-line, and now there is no error message, but it won't print either.  Hope someone can help.....Thanks Galfriday 

    I would try   uninstalling the printer and then reinstalling it.

  • Dell Laptop Problems

    I bought my Laptop off Dell and according to Dell Digital Delivery my Adobe elements is installing but it's been two days now and has yet to be completed. How can I easily install this software to my laptop?

    Hi,
    You would need to know the version of Photoshop Elements and the serial number.
    If it is a new Dell laptop, then it is probably covered by their helpline. They should know what they are installing and how. It might be worth contacting them.

    My computer is saying it can't find the file 'iTunes64.msi' when I try to update or redownload iTunes how do I fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I am using a dell laptop running windows 7 and have tried changing the file location to run the update in all of my iTunes files as well as when I've tried reinstalling it.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • How to transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (late 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ?

    Hi guys and galls,
    How can I transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (mid 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ? The mentioned file currently will not let me transfer it to my ext HD. I want to upload it afterwards to a Dell laptop with Windows software installed.
    Reformatting the drive doesn't seem to be the sollution, since this will erase all the data stored on the ext HD, and it will only allow me to use the drive with either Apple or Microsoft equipment.
    Please HELP, running out of options here... Thnx, "Apple-Dummy"

    How can I tell whether my External HD is formatted NTFS?
    Attach the HDD to your MBP.  Click on the icon on the desktop COMMAND+I. It will produce a display such as this and look what it says by FORMAT.
    How do I format my External HD: FAT or ExFAT?
    Do this on a PC.  You will have to use the Windows equivalent of Disk Utility.  I am not a Windows user so I cannot give you detailed information regarding this.  I have seen on these forums that there are at times compatibility problems if formatted on a Mac.
    Which one is preferred, FAT or ExFAT? And why?
    Use ExFAT.  FAT has a file size limitation of 4 GB.

    iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

  • Java plug-in does not work on DELL laptop w/ ATI video card

    Hello there,
    I try to run Java Web Start on my new DELL laptop with ATI mobility radeon 7500 video card. When I run the SwingSet2 App, the whole system locks up, so I have to do a hard re-boot on my laptop. I found that this problem happens to other DELL laptops when I address this issue to my co-workers. Nevertheless, this problem is fixed when I run Java Web Start on some other desktops that does not use the ATI video card.
    Have any of your experience this? Does any know any workaround for this problem?
    Please help. Thanks.

  • I bought an iphone 5C and my music from my dell laptop doesn't let me sync my music into my phone. When i first bought it I accidentally pressed don't show again on itunes. How do I download itunes 11.1 or later now?

    I bought an iphone 5C and my music from my dell laptop doesn't let me sync my music into my phone. When i first bought it I accidentally pressed don't show again on itunes. How do I download itunes 11.1 or later now?  I have been trying for atleast a month, but I can't find any solutions. I had payed a lot of money on those songs and albums, and now I can't even sync it on to my phone. I know it was stupid of me to press that button, but I need help on trying to get it to sync.  -Mohima

    You need to have the latest version of iTunes on the computer, version 11.1.3 to be able to handle syncing a newer phone with iOS 7. The iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with syncing and is installed by the iOS.
    Go to iTunes on the computer, click on Help, Check for updates to update iTunes on the computer, or go to to www.apple.com/itunes/download and download and install the latest version of iTunes to correct your problem.

  • I just bought an HD movie on iTunes.  Yesterday, I watched all but twenty minutes of it on my Dell laptop.  Today, I tried to open it on the same laptop, and it told me my computer can't play HD movies, that I have to view it in SD.  What is happening?

    I just bought an HD movie on iTunes.  Yesterday, I watched all but twenty minutes of it on my Dell laptop.  Today, I tried to open it on the same laptop, and it told me my computer can't play HD movies, that I have to view it in SD.  The error message said that my computer didn't have the capabilities, but I have several other HD movies that I have always and can still watch without issue.  Just this one doesn't work.  Why, and do you know how to fix this?

    Apparently the display is required to be HDCP compatible to view HD movies in iTunes. My display isn't so this is my problem. I contacted Apple support and they have agreed to credit me for the HD movie and I have now downloaded the SD version.

  • Can I use my time capsule to connect a Dell laptop to a remote hard drive?

    I have a time capsule network at home for my apple computers. It works great I can even send jobs wirelessly to the printers from all my computers including the Dell laptop with Windows Vista. I would like to be able to back up the Dell laptop Windows Vista machine to a Western Digital My Book Mirror Edition storage system. I'm having problems with the Dell recognizing or finding the WD hard drive. Does anyone know if I can do this?

    Yes it recognizes the WD when I directly connect the hard drive. Yes it is recognized on the Mac and the Dell but only in the Airport Utility software for windows nothing on the windows machine is able to recognize it and finally yes I have Bonjour loaded and two printers are working fine on my complete network of machines PC's as well as Apple machines. I tried every resource I could find online and I can't get the system to recognize the WD hard drive I'm stumped.

  • Trying to burn a playlist in itunes and i get this message at the end 'The attempt to burn a disc failed. An nknown error occurred (4450)'.  This is with a new Dell laptop running windows 8. The playlist was 17 songs from cd's and itunes.  Any ideas?

    try this...
    This is how I managed to fix the problem...and I hope this helps others in the similar situation.
    I tried with another program..latest version of Nero, and this was also stopping at the 'initialising' stage. I was now lost! I thought the last resort is to give Evesham (My PC manufacturer) a buzz. They were very helpfull. Basically go into 'Control Panel', 'System', and click on the Hardware tab, then 'Device Manager'. Uninstall everything in the DVD/CDRom Drives. Then uninstall everything under the catagory IDE ATA/Atapi disk controllers. This is where my problem was, as I only had one IDE channel here. You should have 4 or 5! Reboot your machine, and everything will automatically re-load. I tried burning using Nero and it worked. Then the big test was iTunes. It worked 1st time!
    I asked why the IDE channels have dissappearred, and he said sometimes uninstalling Programmes occasionally removes them.
    I hope this will help others who are having problems to burn stuff on iTunes.
