ok yeah, drivers update didnt work...man this stinks...i may be forced to delete everythign and fresh install xp again over this all so i dont have to worry about it...that would suck...

help please
Don't do that yet, hang in there a bit more.

 What exactly is cutting out, what message do you get ?

Iv'e seen a wireless connection act like this improperly configured, do you have a wireless connection?

 Are you using windows wireless, or device specific if you do?

i get no errors, and it still says im connected just fine...my browsers wont connect at all but yet my messengers and even games will play fine online

although i can barely use windows 7 in this crappy resolution on my big monitor without getting a headache i seem to be at a standstill :p  evil6

XP used to do that, I have something saved that fixed another machine at one time, it's worht a try.

 What it was that windows was constantly looking for a connection, something breaks, and there you go. Try these steps, see what happens.

1. restart computer.
2. double click on the network icon in taskbar
3. click advanced
4. check ON the "Use windows to manage wireless networking"
5. click ok
2. connect to my network
4. click advanced
5. check OFF the "Use windows to manage wireless networking"
6. close all windows.


 But the next time you start windows , it will do the same thing.

 I have another one, but it's long and nasty, if this doesn't solve the issue, we'll try it, k ?

Also disable"Enable IEEE 802.1x"

I never try this before on a dual booted computer, so I really did not want to recommend it. But I just try it on my dual booted computer [Kubuntu & Windows 7 ] and it worked fine. Do a system restore back to before you had the problem with the monitor if you can.


edit- Make sure when you windows update after the restore that you do not install the video card update.

well bad news...my windows xp wouldnt load....at all....and my windows 7 was stuck in 16 colors...then i rebooted and then it wouldnt load...it just hung up on the boot screen...so without a way to install anything...i am now on a fresh xp install....  Crying or Very sad

i lost everything. including files i had just taken off of my jump drive.... undecided

but hey at least everything works ok now...and for some reason my resolution instead of going to 1680x1050 now wants me to be at 2048x1536 ...i just have it at 1680x1050 though.

edit....also, right before i rebooted the last time in windows 7 i had found an app called and i quote "windows networking calla"

 That Sucks. Sorry to here that you lost your files. That is one of the reasons why I have windows7 on a external harddrive. If something goes wrong my Vista files are still safe on the internal harddrive.
