Help! WPA causes wireless connection to frequently drop out.

Thanks spidey - I am using the Dell utility for config, not windows. I suppose I could permanently use the D-link as my access point, but I'd rather like to avoid the additional clutter/power consumption if I can help it. Thanks!

Help! WPA causes wireless connection to frequently drop out.

I am trying to establish a stable wireless connection between my Dell laptop and my new FIOS router. Before FIOS, I had a stable WPA connection with this laptop and my DI-624 router. But with the new FIOS router, my connection seems to drop out about once a minute or so when I use WPA-PSK. I...

WinXP - License stopped validating?

Thanks, cubby. Everything important on there is backed up, so I'm not too worried about it dying on me now. I just didn't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling windows and all my apps. I've ordered a new drive, so until it arrives, I'm curious to continue this as a science project to see...

WinXP - License stopped validating?

Ok - the message specifically is: "The application winrnr.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check against your installation diskette." When I type in your suggestion, I get "winrnr.dll is not an executable file and no registration helper is registered for this file type." Would you...

In Safe Mode? Because that's all I can get to.

WinXP - License stopped validating?

Ah - so this suggests an imminent failure of my drive - not just a random data corruption issue? Thanks!

Thanks Cubby - Before I saw your message, I checked the event logs per robisbell. Lots of warnings and errors of the type: A bad block was detected in device (hardrive). An error was discovered in device (hardrive) during a paging operation. I then went to drive...

WinXP - License stopped validating?

Hello, I'm running Win XP with all the latest updates. For several months, everything has been fine. Today, however, Windows started taking an extremely long time to "applying personal settings" when logging in either under Administrator or my personal account. After 45 min, I gave up waiting...

Trying to get my SATA RAID 1 to work...

I put my current question in the first post, but here it is again: I have the BIOS RAID created, and the driver installed. Windows still sees the two drives as separate discs. What now? Do I have to convert these drives to dynamic discs and mirror them using Computer Management? Or should...

Unofficial Soltek SL-K8AN2E-GR thread

I'm in the process of creating a SATA RAID 1 (non-bootable) using the nF3. I have a drive with data on it (backed up elsewhere), and a clean drive. How do I designate the master drive? The BIOS tool gives me an option to rebuild the array, but I'm not sure how to tell it which is the master...

Trying to get my SATA RAID 1 to work...

Thanks - the manual only explains the F6 technique with a fresh install. If I read you right, you're saying that I can just point windows at the floppy when the found new hardware message appears after bootup. Thanks! Now, how do I tell which drive is on which controller?

Trying to get my SATA RAID 1 to work...

One other thing - one of the drives has data on it (backed up elsewhere), and one is a clean drive. How do I designate the master drive? The BIOS tool gives me an option to rebuild the array, but I'm not sure how to tell it which is the master. The only differentiation shown between the...

Trying to get my SATA RAID 1 to work...

Thanks - but this describes how to create an array with a fresh Windows install. I want to do it without having to reinstall windows. Can I just point to the driver floppy when windows finds the new hardware?

Set up RAID-1 , but won't work in XP
