Help, problem with Dell laptop screen (REOCCURED)

albertross_2

could you be more specific about the msg? Vista or XP?

bignred05

its Vista basic

also i can still get wireless connection (via a none secure open one)

but my problem is i can not connect to my Linksys
it now has some message something like it does not reconise the setting etc

but it was fine prior to the problem with the screen

albertross_2

you could try a system restore

i am going to so really dumb now

how do i do a system restore

albertross_2

Go into help, and type system restore.

Any more clues to the error msg, is the linksys encrypted?

bignred05

thanks for your help (yet again)
as it is late i'm off to bed now
i will log onto the lap top & my pc tomorrow morning
i will let you know fully the message then do a system restore

thanks again for your time and assistance

albertross_2

let me know the message first, it might ring a bell.

the message for the wireless connection reads

The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network (followed by a Red cross)

bearing in mind everything was fine prior to my problem with the screen
when dell told me to unplug and replace the lead for the monitor/screen

hope this helps or should i still reboot it

thanks

and its still not picking up a signal :mad: :mad: :mad:

It's drastic I know but you could restore your system fully, i.e. to the way it was when it came from the factory? To do this, first back-up all your data (files, music etc.) then restart, and while it restarts, hold down CTRL and press F11 repeatedly. It will take you to a restore menu and you will lose all files and it will be in the state when it came from the factory...

This is a last resort really but it's there if nothing else works... fear not, MSE Techies will do their best
