PCIe Wi-Fi class N (150Mbps) ONLY doesn't work under Win7 HP

0
0
My desktop computer is on my home office, and the ISP router (with class N (300Mbps) WiFi) is on the opposite side, about 3m (10ft) away. Is important to say that I don’t have any other computer, tablet, printer or cell phone to connect to the desktop. The Wi-Fi is only to connect to the Internet. To avoid the Ethernet cable across the room, I was using a PCI Wi-Fi class G access board...

Hey, I've had this computer for about 5 years, and over the past two years I have been having a problem. The computer goes back to the desktop every 15 minutes, though the programs continue running.

I've cloned my desktop PC to an SSD using a caddy. Cloning worked but when I put the cloned SSD into the laptop it starts to boot then crashes to a bluescreen with lots of numbers on it. No idea what they represent. So punting around I've discovered that it isnt possible because the laptop has a different OS and possibly drivers than the PC. Is there a way round this or am I stuck having...

Music CD Burning Issues with Win 7 64-bit

Up until a month ago, I had no problems both ripping and burning music CDs to either my laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) or my office Windows 7 Professional Std. (also 64-bit). However, recently I have found that, after burning a CD-R on either machine, only select players will play back the CDs now. My home deck, and a budget SONY portable radio w/CD player & tape deck both won't...

Need options for backing up/saving files from Windows 7 desktop to USB

I have a 7-8 year old Gateway desktop that is having problems remaining responsive - not sure if it's memory, or a drive issue, but commands or applications will sometimes not work, will take tons of time to complete, or the system will simply become unresponsive after some time. Ran a full scan on it, and cleaned everything up virus-wise, and disabled a bunch of startup applications from safe...

Hi all, Would be great to get some help on this. Windows 7 (and all the other versions, for that matter) permissions has always been a bit of a dark art in my experience. That aside, today I tried to save a snip to my Documents folder (which actually resides in my D:\Media folder) and I got a permission denied error. I have been saving to this folder for years without issue, and have not...

I have removed my graphics cards and made use of the onboard graphics to see if my graphics card is faulty. Unfortunately, even while using the onboard intel graphics, the BSODs still occur even while...

Yeah, I know it's impossible but some of us have good reason to. So is there a guide on how to do the closest possible equivalent? In my case, I have a 32-bit Windows 7 that I wanna upgrade to 64-bit but move all my files, settings, user profile and everything that makes my current OS what it is. The biggest problem currently is reinstalling programs which for whatever reason I cannot...
