Gaming problem with my computer. help!

[C175R]

Every time I turn on my computer theres a problem with my internet and USB.

So every time I turn it on, I have to go open to that folder and disable them and enable them again in order to work. and also the menu bar is not there sometimes and have to restart it so it will show.
anyone know what could be the problem?
I already uninstall it and install it again but nothing was fixed.
is there any way to restore your system to the first day I bought it?
I have this computer for like 9months or so.

Someone will probably answer your other questions, but I'll just deal with the last.

In the Start menu, type "system" and you should hopefully see "Restore system files and settings from a previous restore point". Click it and it'll take you through the wizard, letting you restore your system to previous states. You create a new restore point every time you use Windows Update, or at the beginning of certain types of installations. They'll all be dated so you can get a good idea of how far back you want to send it.

You probably don't need to do this to fix your problem, but I can't think of a solution right away with my sleepy head (it's 1.44am).

There is a way, but that is a last resort.
Try updating the driver, or if you have it as a PCI card. Take it out and put it back in.
Tell me how that goes.

update says it has the latest update already.
and taking it out and putting it back didnt work either.

Damn drivers, have you tried uninstalling it?

 

[C175R]

yea. uninstall it and install it again but nothing.
the only way to make them work is disabling it and enabling it when I turn the cpu on.

 

[smellyunicorn]

Damn well what type of Motherboard/ PC do you have?
you can do a system restore but using the BIOS

I had the same problem.

I just upgraded my Router's firmware and everything worked again.

If not, I wouldn't System Restore. I would back up my data and do a fresh install. System Restore is weak.

EDIT:

What happens when you do an ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew?

What happens when you do an ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew?

If I don't understand a command then I use "x /help" (x substituted for a command) to learn what they do.

I like to use these alot though so it's simple ^.^

ipconfig /release :Releases all the network connections

ipconfig /renew :Renews the network connections

Either that or it's the adapters...more likely the latter I think.

If you can't figure it out, you can always use devcon and command line to auto enable and disable them upon startup...

Come to think about it, my HP laptop does the same thing. I blame the BroadCom WiFi adaptor which has never liked trying to connect to my router at N speeds. My brother never had the problem with his version of the same laptop, but then again he's running Win7 now. Maybe it's about time I updated...

Does your WiFi (either built into the motherboard or PCI, you haven't said) come with any third party WiFi programs? Installing one may help it behave better, but it would have to be the one that came with the device.

EDIT: Also worth mentioning, it may be a good idea to give Windows a fresh install anyway. I try and do it to every computer once a year, just to keep things fresh and clean and working.

lol I wasn't asking what ipconfig did. I was asking what happens when HE did it. lol. Thanks for the lesson though.

nothing above seems to work

using att and windows 7.
all the other wireless computers and laptops works normally.
but not mine

Can I do a fresh install without the discs?

Maybe, depends on your recovery partition.. Check your start menu for some recovery programs. Or when turning on press the F11 (on HPs, not sure about dell) and it should launch a recovery partition.

Did you place the PCI WiFi card in after you had setup windows 7 but before you ran the PCI setup disc
this will cause the drivers to playup this way.
You can completely remove the card and all setup files .
Then you can run setup disc to install drivers then reinstall your card after a restart
