I have been using Netgear for approximately 6 months. Two weeks ago, all Internet Service was stopped for both my HP Windows Vista desktop and Acer Aspire 9300 Windows XP laptop. Think either Net Gear or AT& T downloaded new software which screwed it up. My internet provider, AT&T, got my desktop back up but was unable to get my laptop connected via wireless. I spoke with them today and they said it had to be that my wireless card is not receiving the signal OR or that the Net Gear Router is not sending it. IS THERE A WAY TO SEE WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLE and GET MY WIRELESS INTERNET BACK UP? Net Gear is working fine with my desktop plugged into it and my laptop also works by having the yellow ethernet plugged into it. but obviously I want to use my laptop more than a foot away from my desktop.

the caps lock key might gone out of order, needs repair

Hello
Use external USB mouse

hi, the best solution of that if you are using the windows xp operating system you just install it again the windows it will automatically repair your system. if you are using vista try to recover previous files..

regards..

A friend of mine had a similar problem for whole 6 months until i uninstalled Norton. So if you use Norton Antivirus use this tool to remove it:

Hello,
It sounds like you have connection issues.
For starter please consider disabling your firewall (under control panel) then try connecting.
If this doesn't work please try reseting internet explorer settings (under explorer-tools).
Check with tech support of linkedln to see if they require special internet explorer security settings and have them walk you through your settings to make sure nothing has changed.
Last but not least I'd try to go to system restore and restore to a point where you are sure evrything had worked like couple of weeks ago or even one month ago if possible.
(start-programs-accessories-system tools-system restore).
The system restore tool doesn't erase or change any data although if installed any program since that point you are going to have to reinstall it since system restore will restore all registry information to that specific point and disregard everything you did afterwards, therefor I'm going to have to tell you to use at your own risk.
Good luck.
Thank you for using agadycom.

This is a system glitch, do a system restore, and it should clear right up.

Your problem: "I have Windows Vista installed on my laptop."

Unfortunately, as with a lot of MS service packs, they can crash some computers. You need your windows vista disk and, booting from it, you can select repair your vista installation. This should take care of the problem. Then don't update to sp1 for a few months.

Well, free trial over. You may have a pirate or bootleg Windows Vista copy. Get valid key from the hardware or software vendor who charged you for both.

Try this:

START/ right click Computer goto Manage/ click Services

Here are the services I have stopped and disabled. You can right click each service and goto properties to disable them.

readyboost
superfetch
print spooler - must be re-enabled and started if you use a printer
server
computer browser
secondary logon
security center
windows error reporting
windows search
windows firewall - must be re-enabled and started to use windows firewall

Hope that works, and please rate my response if it was helpful.

Thanks and good luck
