    HELP WINDOWS VISTA
    « on: April 18, 2009, 10:16:29 AM »
    Using window Vista on hp intel pentium pc...

    My computer after auto configutation gives me dns or is it dsn error, page cannot be displayed. Like in facebook...I get the webpage no problem but when I type in my username and password won't let me log in...this happened yesterday also, tried all day to figure it out, called my internet service place, they said, connection was fine, it was my computer...welllll...I restore last night and it was ok...again just now my computar auto configurated again, wish I could control that, dunno how...anyways, again it's doing the same thing...This sucks...I asked if it was my IP adress , they said no..it was a problem with my pc...if so then why after restoring did it work ok and only again after configurating its doing this again? :'(

    I thought it was maybe a virus i had but now dont think so...is there a way to stop this auto configuration? Like eally, so much stuff was configurated, hella if i even know what they mean!!!


    Thank you in hopes you can find a solution  to this.

    ( Is there a way to disable the auto configuration and will be it be safe for my computer? I was also wondering if something was disabled after this configuration that I should enable.   :'(

      Check in Device manager to see if you have a hardware problem.......look for red X's or exclamtion points.....you may very well have a bug that's redirecting you......it may be in the restore file .

            Dyanne,

            I found this ....

            "This device cannot start. (Code 10)”

            What does that mean in plain English? It means that if the device which is throwing the error has added its own custom error text to your Windows system when the device was installed, then when the device encounters an error, you will see the custom error message specific to that device. But if it doesn’t have its own custom error message, then Windows uses its own generic error message for devices, which is “This device cannot start. (Code 10)”

            Microsoft recommends that when this happens, you click “Update Driver” to update the drivers for the device. You can also start the Windows troubleshooting wizard by going to the general properties tab of the device, and clicking on “Troubleshoot”.

            Before doing this, be sure that you have the correct and most up-to-date versions of the driver(s) for that device. You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the device, using the disk which came with it.

            Finally, you can go to the website of the device’s manufacturer, and check their downloads or support section for current, up-to-date drivers.

            Here's more ....http://www.pchell.com/hardware/usbcode10.shtml


            Try uninstall your camera and software first.

                So, you're saying, when you run System Restore, all is back to normal until next restart?

                  What exactly do you mean by "auto cofigurated"?

                    Yeah, I'm really not sure, what feature you're referring to.
                    You need to try to give us little bit more details.

So yes it's the window that's updating, seem's now alot of stuff cant update, right> why? Should i update the drivers manually? I will do that now. Sorry if you didnt understand me .
