Guest Prieto Chulo Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 I have an HP Proliant ML-110 G4 server with XP Pro SP2. I hope someone can help me. 1. I have and Edimax EW-7728IN Wi-Fi card. It used to work correctly but I used a maintenance software that deleted like 300 "unnecessary" software or registry fixing stuff etc. Now my PC detects the wireless connections available but cannot connect to them. Some them says they cannot detect the IP address or the DNS values or "acquiring network address". It detects the signal strength (54-100 Mbps) but never connects. 2. Recently a bought the above machine. I installed Win XP SP2 and have worked fairly well with the exception of video. I'm having problems with video because my monitor has a top resolution of 1680x1050 while currently the best resolution the factory graphics card can give me is 1024x768. I just knew that I can install a 64 bit OS to this computer. 2a. What I'm missing for not having a 64bit OS? 2b. Do I need a new grphics card to fix the video thing or a new OS 64 bit will do the job? 2c. Which of the 64bit OS should I install to my PC (XP64, server 2003 64 bit, etc)?
Guest JS Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Re: Wi-Fi Card and best/proper OS As to the Wi-fi card and that cleaner software. See if a System Restore point created before you used the Cleaner is available, is so try System Restore, then ditch the registry cleaner in the trash can. Have you downloaded and installed the latest driver software for your graphics card, if not do so. Most video cards should be able to support the resolution you need. If your graphics is built into the motherboard then you may have a problem.

Access to some more memory, but this may make little difference to you if you aren't doing tasks that require large amounts of data. You must be sure that drivers are available for all the hardware you need to use; otherwise, you must replace it. > 2b.

Sorry, but this is a question answered by your needs. Server 2003 is not a desktop system and requires an amount of tweaking to make it fill that role - and then there is limited "free" A/V utilities for the server OS. XP has a limit of 10 network connections, so if you are planning on running this as a server, XP may well be inappropriate. HTH -pk

Go over to here, get the drivers and re-install them: http://www.edimax.com/en/support_detail.php?pd_id=223&pl1_id=1&pl2_id=44 Also, there does not seem to have a Server 2003 version of this wireless drivers so I am not sure if it will work in Server 2003. As for the OS, XP 64 is only available as OEM -- on new PCs Your PC is a server grade unit but Server 2003 is not a desktop PC not the same as XP. Also, Windows XP sales are still "on-track" to be stopped on June 30, 2008.

As a philanthropist, I would hope that you give those millions a year out of seeing the need for donations due to seeing the suffering, and by donating you are acting from the conviction that if a person is able to alleviate suffering financially to do so. I would hope it is not done to social climb and hop nob with the "haves" and "have mores". BTW, tell your wife to stop with the Botox already, aging is natural. Botox is embarrassing to look at on a person's face, although the person is not aware that people find it so.

Guest Prieto Chulo Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 RE: Wi-Fi Card and best/proper OS 1. My graphic card is built-in the mother board. So I have a problem. I already did everything regarding re-installing the driver and getting the most recent one. I think the cleaning software deleted something in Win XP Pro needed for this. I also went to the Geek Squat at Best Buy to buy a new graphics car and apparently the PCIe 8X and 4X that comes in the motherboard is so "rare" that they don't sale anything that can fit in the slots. 2. Something about the 64 bit OS vs Winx XP Pro? "Prieto Chulo" wrote: > I have an HP Proliant ML-110 G4 server with XP Pro SP2. > > I hope someone can help me. > > 1.

It was never "designed" for using any non-server version of Windows and never had a "bundled" XP with it. As for as the on-board video card, these are usually a ATi Mobility chip.
