HELP.... My Lappy has lost its Wifi....

[Dog_ger]

"The Dependency Service or Group Failed to Start."

Running Vista with New Trend internet Security.

Uninstalled Trend after Black Screening..

Done a Startup Repair and chkdsk.

Up and running but no WiFi.....??

Restore does nothing.

Tried all netfixes. No luck.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1520?

No Vista Disk. Who has one of those...?

Any Advice before it becomes an artificial reef off Grange...

Still a good laptop. I watch movies that I download to USB on it.

This is a longshot but worth a try;

Go to start, all programs, accessories and right click on command prompt select "run as Administrator". At the prompt type:-

net localgroup Administrators /add networkservice
press enter then type:
net localgroup Administrators /add localservice
press enter then type:
exit
press enter and restart your computer

With these new government filters, they can switch off your wifi on your pc when you have exceeded a certain amount of porn. Go to the library.

Yes i do, but a computer is like a pair of denim jeans or good comfy runners....

Like to hang on to em....

Don't mis-understand.

If it has served its time and it has no further use.... chuck it.

Don't throw good money away fixing bad....

If there is a quick & easy fix, lets hear it. Otherwise the Great Lappy is an artificial reef somewhere.

I exceeded that limit after day 1 Giant....

All the kids swarm around me when I log onto a library computer....

And when I play my flute, they all follow me home......

Let try and be serious guys....

How you made so many posts without being banned, I don't understand.

I just want a fix for my laptop.

Got a newie from ebay.

Chucked dell away into the ocean for a fish reef.

Location "undisclosed"

Toshiba is my newie...

It was a fab laptop while it lasted. Sad to see it gone. But moving on.

[kickinit]

my brother had toshiba a few years ago. Worse laptop ever designed. the idiots put the fan at the bottom so when ever you sat it down on something it would heat up and shutdown. Hopefully they have changed the design by then

My ASUS Core2Duo Laptop bought in 2004 is still alive and well, but will no longer cope with the demands of the specialist medical software I use. I've kept it for now, but just bought another ASUS - a K55V i7, 2GB video, 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD, W8 Pro.

Why would you think it's a software problem...?

Answer 1.

Answer 2.

Answer 3.

None of the above....

Sometimes children get access to their parents computers....

until the next morning when you wakeup and realise it's outdated

Weather it's a toaster, car, computer, washing machine, fridge or the wife/girlfriend.

It's always going to happen. Live with it. 2013 is always better than 2012... Thats life.

Its a disposable world. You guys have to accept wasting good $$$ to fixing old won't work.

You fix one problem and another will surface. Life's experience.
