Hi, I've tried to do the repair thing beofre and it comes up saying..windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannotbe completed: connecting to the wireless network I will try your futher suggestion and let you know about exclamations or crosses. Thanks

tootech.. I know how you feel ha ha I hae 3 uni essays and 5 lab reports eek! I hae tried that button and all it does it brings up the powersaving details, also the button on the front is switched to on, but it's something else I have done within the network connections bit.. still haven't had time to try the last sugestion but Iwill do once this work is out of the way Good Luck!!

WOW! that's a lot to try and understand lol I'm sure that my netbook came with it's own wireless installed and I've somehow managed to not allow it to now pick up avaliable wireless networks which sounds like what you have typed... I will give it a go soon (uni work calls) and let you know how I get on. Many Thanks for your response to this

is that enough info or do you need more??

I have a Acer531 aspire one using windows home edition trying to connect with a white netgear wireless g-router WGR614 Thanks

does anyone else have any other possible solutions?

hi, that is probably a good question to ask me really ha ha but no I haven't turned it off I know for a fact I went into wireless network settings and unticked/ticked a couple of different boxes in there. It states now when I try to set up a manual network connection (instead of using a flash drive, which I didn't use when I initially got wireless) the message pops up saying Depending on the wireless software running in this computer, the wireless network setup wizard might not work, for details, see article 871122 in the microsoft knowledge base on microsoft.com. When I click ok, it won't let me go any further other than to use a usb which I don't have. I can't remember what I have done exactly and need this to make my uni life easier as it's a lot easier carrying a netbook than a desktop lol

Hi I have tried a couple fo different restore dates over the last week or so however each time I try it, it states computer (netbook) is unable to restore and the only other one then avaliable is after the date I 'broke' it

thanks I will try that and see how it goes

Hi, Wonder if anyone can help me (yet again) I was fiddling around on my netbook a few days back and somehow (don't ask how) but it appears I have knocked the wireless settings off, my netbook now does not pick up any avaliable networks whether it be secured or unsecured, it doesn't even find my own wireless point which is only across the room to me. Stupidly I then tried to tick/untick boxes here and there to see if I could rectify my problem... but no, what ever I've done it appears I've done it good lol Does anyone know which boxes need to be ticked/untick to allow me to pick up my wireless again please :)

Thanks for the help, her partner took it into work and did something to it, he managed to save her pics etc to disk and now has a working laptop again. Thanks again..

thanks for that, but when I get to the menu screen and select safe mode, all it does is run through what appears to be a list of files and then goes to the password screen again, there is no way for us to get back to thedesktop to open the control panel. There are more than 1 option regarding safe mode when I have pressed f8 which one do you recommend selecting (have already done the safe mode one) The other options on the advanced boot options are: Safe mode with networking safe mode with command prompt enable boot logging enable low-resolution video (640x480) Last known configureation (TRIED ALREADY NO CHANGE) directory services restore mode debugging mode disable automatic restart on system failure disable driver signature enforcement Start windows normally (TRIED ALREADY NO CHANGE) Thanks for your response, I may not be able to reply this evening as I have no net at home, so it may be tomorrow now. Many Thanks

Also as a note, when she puts in an obviously incorrect password, and selects reset password the following pop up message appears. This feature requires removable media, such as a floppy disk or usb flash drive. Please insert a floppy disk or connect a usb fash drive, and then try again. We don't understand why this comes up and are at a complete loss..... Any other help avaliable please??

hi, I have already tried restarting the laptop and done the f8 start in safe mode and last known good configuration but each time it still requires a password which she wouldn't even know how to put on even if she wanted to, so I know for a fact t's not something she has done herself.
