How to connect your lap top with Wi-Fi network?

Click on the Wifi Connection icon on bottom right of screen and you should see a window that indicates connection, strength and duration. Click on the Properties tab.

This window will show the type of networking card installed. Click on the Wireless Networks tab.

Once the Wireless Network Connection Properties window is open you will have two options depending on how you set up your laptop.

If you do not see any networks listed in Preferred or Available networks, you will have to manually add the SSID. Click on Add. You will have to enter the SSID and WEP key (if required). Click OK and you should then see the network you just added in the Available networks box.

If you see the correct SSID showing in the Available Networks, then you need to click on Configure in order to enter the WEP key if that is required.

In this window, enter the SSID for the Wi-Fi network you want to access. Make sure you do not have CAPS lock or NUM lock while entering the information.

If a Network key is required, click on "Data Encryption and then enter the Network key you have been provided with. Again make sure you do not have CAPS or NUM lock on. Click OK when entered. If you have entered the key incorrectly a message will pop up and you will need to re-enter the key.

Next go to Start - and where it says Connect To click on that and you should see choices. Click on Wireless Network Connection and it should work.

Record a joke or greeting and share in GoogleWave

Googlewave provides a new gadget called 'Voicy'.



Assume you have 100 users in your wave. All the 100 users can use 'Voicy' to record their voice, without disturbing others.

More than this, your voice can be played by all the 100 users in the wave.

No need to attach as you did in emails. Just record. That's it. Other's can listen and reply (ofcourse in their own voice)

This is my wave using Voicy. Click and join. Or start your own voicy wave after installing it.

Why I am unable to run programs from shortcuts?

Right Click on the short cut
Click Properties
Click 'General Tab'
Check the location.
It should be 'C:Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop'
Refer the picture below

Is there anything wrong with the location?
Refer the next picture. If you find the location something like this in the picture, then copy paste it to 'C:Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop'

The problem is because of confusion with different user accounts. Check with the user accounts for permanant solution.

Unable to run programs from shortcuts; Desktop shortcuts are not working

I'm sure your file associations under Windows are tampered(by virus).

Try the various links in the following website.
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm),

You may have short cuts to .exe files, .com file, .bat files, .inf files, etc. There are many options available to normalize all your shortcuts. All are free!

But please note, these are not permenant solutions.

I strongly recommend for a good anti virus and spyware check.

After installing Kaspersky antivirus I couldn't browse with IE. I suspect conflict with third party programs.How to identify?

  1. Start. Click Run. Type msconfig, and then click OK.
  2. Click the Startup tab.
  3. Because of the number of entries that may be listed, I suggest you find the conflicting program by using a process of elimination.
  4. Click to select half of the items that are listed, and then click OK.
  5. Restart the computer, and then test the connection.
  6. Continue this process until you have identified the conflicting program.
  7. My suggestion is to remove the unwanted program if you are not using it or configure the program so that it does not start when the computer starts.
Note : In your case I recommend you to remove Kaspersky from startup.

I coudn't browse with IE. I suspect Networking problem. How to test it?

Test your Networking issues in Safe Mode.
  1. Restart the computer. Press the F8 key repeatedly when the screen goes blank.
  2. Click Safe Mode with Networking, and press ENTER.
  3. If you are presented with an option to select a version of Windows, select the appropriate version, and then press ENTER.
  4. After the computer has started in safe mode, test your connection.
If you can connect internet when the computer is in safe mode, there is usually a third-party tool or program conflict. A clean restart may help you resolve the conflict. Restart the computer in normal mode and go to Step 1.

If you cannot connect to the Internet when the computer in safe mode, there may be a problem with the network adapter.

I`m unable to access any web page using internet explorer, but I could browse with Firefox.

There could be many reasons for this. Lets check and resolve step by step.

Lets begin with winsock. I guess there may be a problem with your winsock.

METHOD - 1
==========
If you are running WINDOWS XP WITH SERVICE PACK 2 then try the following.
  1. Click Start. Click Run. Type netsh winsock reset, and then click OK.
  2. When the command prompt flashes, restart the computer.
Note:
====
I suggest you to back up the keys before you continue. To back up the key, right-click the key and select Export. When you are prompted for a name, enter it and then save it. By default, it is saved in the My Documents folder. You can delete this file after you confirm that the system is working correctly.

METHOD - 2
==========
If you are NOT USING WINDOWS XP SERVICE PACK 2 try the following.
  1. Click Start. Click Run. Type regedit, and then click OK.
  2. In Registry Editor, locate the following keys:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2
  3. Right-click each key, and then click Delete.
  4. When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.
  5. Restart the computer.
====================
Please revert back with your results. So that I can think of other options.
