WRT54GS w/Windows Vista Slow Download

I have a WRT54GS wireless router with 2 dell laptops connected. One laptop runs fine, the other (brand new Dell D420 running Windows Vista Business 32bit) has EXTREMLY slow downloads. I have covered all the bases I can think of:
- replaced Dell Wireless 1490 Dual Band WLAN Mini-Card
- all firmware and drivers updated on laptop, windows vista and router
- made some basic chages recommended on other posts to RTS and Fragmentation Thresholds.
I can download great connected trhough my wired lan port. I also noticed it will not pick up the IP address automatically - though other computers on the same router have no problem
Any ideas?

I have the same problem with the software not detecting the hardware. I posted my problem in the link below: http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=07402Mess age Edited by Vampyr on 0-05-200704:25 PM

TS1717 Trying to download iTunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

Trying to download itunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

I solved the problem! The updates orignally were downloaded to the C: drive of the server. I've since moved them to the E: drive and for some reason the Content folder in IIS didn't change the file path to the new WSUScontent folder.
The root cause for this was failing to use the UTILITY designed for this very purpose.
I edited the virtual directory settings in IIS and was able to put the correct path in.
You still need to use the UTILITY.. to fix all the other stuff you're still missing.
In the %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\Tools folder...
WSUSUTIL MOVECONTENT E:\WSUS E:\WSUS\MoveContent.LOG -SKIPCOPY
This problem was caused by moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.
No. This problem was caused by IMPROPERLY moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.

For the last 3 or 4 versions of iTunes, and continuing in 11.05, the site recognizes that I have a 64 bit OS (Windows Vista) and downloads the 64 bit version of setup.

For the last 3 or 4 versions of iTunes, and continuing in 11.05, the site recognizes that I have a 64 bit OS (Windows Vista) and downloads the 64 bit version of setup. Setup installs iTunes in the 32 bit application directory (Program Files x86) - it's not all that unusual to run a 32 bit app under a 64 bit OS - BUT whenever I connect any of my iPhones, I get an error message that say I cannot use the iPhone because the 64 bit version of iTunes is not installed. The message then tells me to de-install iTunes and to install the 64 bit version.
Like I say, the 64 bit Setup version is selected for me, and it runs error-free, but I seem to have no control or ability to force the installation of a 64 bit iTunes app. And all the iPhones are inoperative with the 32 bit version I have. I have another PC, which I have held at an earlier iTunes release. Although it's a notebook, it's identical in every other way (OS & installed utilities and apps) to the desktop that has developed the problem, and my iPhones work fine with it, although iTunes on it is at the earlier release, and I have no intention of upgrading that version until I understand and have corrected the problem.
Any ideas or suggustions?
Thanks.

This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64 bit version of iTunes.
That usually indicates that your Apple Mobile Device Support has not installed. That's also what is being shown by the diagnostics (the driver is there but the application isn't).
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

I am trying to reinstall iTunes on my PC (Windows Vista) and download stalls at the end and message reads "The procedure entry point kCMByteStreamNotification_AvailableLengthChanged could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Media.dll"

I am trying to reinstall iTunes on my PC (Windows Vista) and the download stops just before completion with the following message: "The procedure entry port kCMByteStreamNotification_AvailabileLengthChanged could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Media.dll" Also "error 127. Any suggestions?

Okay. Trouble at the "publishing production information" stage also suggests trouble with Apple Application Support.
Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.

Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?

Itunes on windows vista not downloading new purchases

I recently received an Inspiron E1505, and am running windows Vista Basic. I have Itunes 7, and it works fine except for when I purchase music. Then it receives an error of connection timing out or unable to download the songs. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I've tried bypassing my router, disabling all firewalls (McAffee, Windows, and Windows Defender), contacted Dell and my ISP, and now I'm at a loss. Please help?

I am having exactly same problems as have been mentioned with my new machine and I too am running Vista. Has anybody any suggestions or been able to find a solution? I have been able to download some purchases, which initially came up with this same message and then later successfully downloaded. I have another purchase just sitting waiting to be downloaded but now keep getting this 3259 connection timing out error.

I have windows vista. i downloaded firefox - now I need to uninstall and I cant seem to be able to. how do I uninstall and go back to windows 9 like I was befo

I list my pets on petfinders. it came up that my edition of windows exlorer 9 would not work and to go wtih firefox. I downloaded firefox and now it wont work and I need to uninstall but cant seem to be able to- how do I uninstall so can go with the windows version

The uninstall instructions for Firefox are here
*[[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]]
However <s>Firefox is obviously working, and </s>it does no harm to have more than one browser on a computer. In fact it can be a distinct advantage. For instance it allows you to use the alternative browser if the primary one has a fault.
Maybe what you are in fact trying to do is to set Internet Explorer (IE) as the default browser again, so that for instance the IE icons appear on some files and links. You can do that from IE
* see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/internet-explorer/make-ie-default-browser#ie=ie-10
* if you do; or do NOT, want Firefox as the default browser also note the information here [[How to make web links open in Firefox by default]]

Windows Vista and iTunes downloads

I have a new computer with Windows Vista and downloaded iTunes on it. My previous music iTunes library works fine, but when I try to play a recently downloaded song, I get a message that I am not authorized to play it on this computer. What does that mean? I already tried reinstalling everything and it did not help. Any other ideas?
Thanks!

I suggest you post your message in the "iTunes for Windows" forum found at <http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=150>. It's a more appropriate place to find answers to your question.
Good luck! bill

Downloading Lightroom with Windows Vista

Can I download Lightroom 5.5 with Windows Vista?

Downloading LR 5.3 isn't a problem, but running it will be, as it isn't supported. You could take a look at this http://www.doerg.es/doku.php?id=start:computer:lightroom5vista. I would point out that it is not supported by Adobe.

WRT54GS drops connection with Windows Vista

Hello,
Wireless connection drops constantly between Linksys WRT54GS and Windows Vista laptop. It actually connects, but then drops within a minute. Laptop with Windows XP works fine with the same router.
I've changed the channels, advanced settings, updated firmware, changed the router itself. Nothing helped.
Can you advise anything?
Thank you.

I already checked everything in Vista, addition to that i took laptop to a different linksys network and connection is stable. I have a lot of reports from another people i fix computers for and they have same problem with 54GS router. After i replaced linlsys with netgear, problem was resolved. It has to be something with the router.

Qosmio G20 Vista drivers? Not needed to install Windows Vista

Hello,
I am new at this forum. My name is Francisco and I live in Brazil. I own a Toshiba Qosmio g20_105 and it is running Windows Vista Ultimate EN RTM 6000 without problems.
To do this, you must perform a fresh install of Windows Vista. The drivers for network (Intel PRO100),for audio (Soundmax), for TV (Toshiba PCI Tuner), modem (toshiba modem), Alps pointing device are installed directly from microsoft. You must install Toshiba nvidia display driver, Toshiba Bluetooth (monitor and stack), Toshiba texas flash media driver, toshiba RAID (driver and utilities), toshiba remote control manager and ConfigFree for Windows Vista.
You must have the Toshiba RAID drivers to install from the windows Vista DVD. Otherway, Windows does not recognize Toshiba RAID 0 and RAID 1.
Below some pictures of my G20 Desktop screen:
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen1.jpg
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen2.jpg
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen3.jpg
And here is an example of using deskscapes animated backgrounds with Windows Vista, called dreamscene.
It is in paused mode
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen4.jpg
To perform a fresh install of windows Vista:
Please, download the Toshiba RAID drivers from here:
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/raid.rar
1. Copy the contents of this archive onto a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
2. Insert your Microsoft Windows Vista Edition Bootable DVD.
3. Power on your computer and press F12 to display the boot menu.
4. Choose the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
5. On the first setup screen, choose your language options then press "Next".
6. Press "Install Now".
7. Type in your Product Key then press "Next".
8. Accept the license terms by checking the box then press "Next".
9. When asked "What type of installation do you want", press "Custom (advanced)".
10. When asked "Where do you want to install Windows", make sure your media containing the Toshiba RAID drivers is connected to the computer, then click on "Load Driver".
11. Browse to the location you have copied the RAID drivers to then press "OK".
12. Setup will return to the previous screen, but it will show that you have selected the TOSHIBA RAID driver.
13. Make sure the TOSHIBA RAID driver is selected then press "Next".
14. Continue the installation of Windows Vista as normal.
Now you will need the Toshiba drivers for your Qosmio G20:
See the Device manager info:
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiodrivers1.jpg
Drivers:
1. SD memory controller
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/SD_memory.rar
2. Bluetooth monitor and stack
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/bluetooth_mon.rar
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/bluetooth_stack.rar
3. Nvidia display driver GeForce Go 6600
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/nvidia97.52.rar
4. Texas FlashMedia controller
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/flasmedia.rar
And finally the Toshiba utilities:
Toshiba Configfree
Toshiba Assist
RAID utilities
Remote control manager
Toshiba SD Memory utilities
That's it...
So I must tell to you that Toshiba Qosmio G20 is Windows Vista Ultimate capable, indeed.
Hope this helps people who need and want to install Windows Vista Aero on their Qosmio G20 machines.

Installing CC with windows vista

hello all:
I have to bring my mac in for repairs and my plan was to install adobe CC on this other computer i have laying around, which is an old PC running windows vista.
i downloaded the adobe application manager and most of the apps listed are CS6, especially indesign, photoshop and illustrator, which i use most. and certain apps (like acrobat) aren't listed at all.
i've read conflicting things about whether CC runs on vista.
if anyone could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Very slow download speeds on windows vista using boot camp.

Ok this is my problem. When ever I try to download something from the internet on my windows side the download goes very slow. When I go on my mac side and do the same download it goes a lot faster. So then I went to speedtest.net and my download speed came back around 5000 kbps, when I go into my windows side it goes about 500-1200 kbps. How can I get my download speeds to 5000 kbps like it is on my mac side? I have been trying this for a long time and trying many solutions. Any help will be appericated!
Thanks!

Start by troubleshooting networking.
Drivers for your Windows chipset.
Include more details as to router, firmware, what MAC you have even?
I would never disable firwalls or AV and security settings but you don't want to have two firewalls running.
Most people complain that Windows is faster and their OS X is slow.
Also, wired or wireless? you have not given us anything to go by.

WRT54GS Compatible with Windows Vista?

Does anyone know if the WRT54GS Wireless Router is compatible with Windows Vista? I want to remove the router from a PC running XP and move to one using Vista. If it is compatible, I no longer have the start-up CD-ROM. Can the necessary drivers and firmware be found and downloaded from the Linksys site? Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Vista works with the WRT54GS. You can simply remove the cable from your old computer and connect it to your new computer. If your new computer has a wireless adaptor, you can also connect wirelessly. You would have to log on to your router to find your network key.

Cannot surf internet with WRT54G v5 on Windows Vista RTM x64

Hi, I have a Linksys WRT54G v5 router with Firmware Version: v1.01.1, Nov. 10, 2006. On Windows Vista x64 I Network conections says that I have Internet access, as a matter of fact Windows Update works fine and downloads some update without any problem.
I tried on two onboard network cards thai I have on my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum: Nvidia NForce 3 and Realtek RTL8169/8110 Family Gigabit Ethernet NIC. I tried also installing a PCI Realtek network card and no luck at all.
The thing is IE7, MSN, and any application that tries to access Internet cannot connect. IE7 says "address invalid". However on IE7 64 bit surf internet perfectly, everything else fails to surf.
Same router is working fine on Windows XP x64 Edition and 32 bit.
Any ideas would be appreciated.Message Edited by Hernan on 12-23-200610:20 AM

Hi, well check whether after installing the drivers for the Ethernet card whether the pc picks up an IP address. You can check it from start > run > cmd and then ipconfig. If you are unable to pick up an IP address then try to lower the card speed
If still unable to get it working then check with the Microsoft whether the cards do support vista or no.
