Know how to fix a wireless connection identification problem?

November 6, 2009

I have this odd problem with my vista laptop, when I connect to my wireless network , it marks it as an unidentified network , and will not connect to the internet. My sister’s laptop connects perfectly fine with the exact same network, and the home pc that I’m on now, so the problem must be with my computer itself, I have run multiple system diagnostics , nothing comes up. The only solution my computer can come up with is to visit the microsoft website and download a software fix into the computer , which might work if the problem wasn’t I could access any websites.

So mainly, how can I get my computer to identify my network and connect to the internet?

corrupt registry in windows xp?

June 16, 2009

Hi everyone, i am new here. I have a problem with mi windows Xp with a message of some unable to find register in:

systemroot\system32\config\DEFAULT

I searched in google in another computer and i found this instructions from microsoft website.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q307545

I needed a windows xp cd (i got it from a friend) and with the Recovery Console i had to type:

md tmp
copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak

delete c:\windows\system32\config\system
delete c:\windows\system32\config\software
delete c:\windows\system32\config\sam
delete c:\windows\system32\config\security
delete c:\windows\system32\config\default

copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system
copy c:\windows\repair\software c:\windows\system32\config\software
copy c:\windows\repair\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam
copy c:\windows\repair\security c:\windows\system32\config\security
copy c:\windows\repair\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

and then some other instructions for the safe mode in windows.
However, when i type
copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak

the console respond with “cannot copy file”

Fine, i searched google again and found this page:

http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/886894.htm

Someone wrote that in that case I should go direct to type

copy c:\windows\repair\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

cause there is no “default” file in the config directory. But when i do that, there is a message “Do you want to replace default file (Y/N)?”

I am confused, there is a default file, but i can not copy to a .bak file?
What do i do now? do replace the file? would there be a problem in the future for doing that?
I can not use windows Xp, not even with the safe mode.
Thanks for any help you can give me, and sorry for my bad english.
