Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class in the Registry Editor dialog box and select the {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} key, which appears as a folder. 4.

My wireless connection worked fine up until today...I have reset the switch on the front of my Acer Aspire 5110 and it continues to be ''orange'' rather than ''green'' that would indicate is on and working properly When trying to re-set up a wireless connection, I continue to get an error message telling me that the cable is unplugged? We are on a LAN, using a router, I have a connection just fine on my desktop, which is what I am on.

Compaq laptop: my mouse pointer or arrow is frozen. It happened when I was using email. On the scroll bars of the email, at the end of the message, two transparent boxes appeared, similar to those when setting margins on Word. Have I locked the mouse pointer or is there a fault? The mouse pointer sometimes works when the screen is setting up, but soon freezes. Your solution may need to include how to solve the problem with the keyboard only, because, of course, I can't use the mouse pointer to click. I have tried going to the computer settings and accessing the mouse dialogue box, but have limited use with the arrow keys and the enter key.

Acer aspire 5100, device manager was showing a yellow exclamation point next to my microsoft 4to6 adapter. i tried to update, but it says everything is up to date. can't connect to internet at all even after reboot. i uninstalled the 4to6 to see if that would help and rebooted. though the microsoft 4to6 adapter is no longer there with the exclamation point, no change.
