Hiatus...

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Ugh. I hate my computer sometimes, I really do...

For some reason, the wireless card in my computer isn't working...at least, I think that's it...I've tried resetting, using an ethernet cable, restarting, all that, but I just can't connect to the internet on my compy. I had to use my phone to post this...
But yeah, something is wrong, SO. Calling a hiatus for an unknown period of time until I fix this. Godmodding rights to the HINaBN crew, and I hope I'm back soon...


...nobody here might know what's wrong/how to fix it, would they...?

EDIT: The specific error is 'error 1068: the dependency service or group failed to start.' I'm on Vista, anybody who can help, please do!

Hmm. Have you tried contacting your internet provider?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well, I think the problem is the conputer, not the internet...bit I have no idea...

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Seconding Mal's suggestion. Are there no other available networks with internet for you to test the comp?

Either way hope you can get it fixed soon ;-;

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well, trhe network itself is fine, my brother can get on through his laptop...but for some reason I just can't connect. The computer says that the dependency service or group failed to start...I have no idea what that means or how to fix it....

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Are you on Vista? Because if you're getting the dependency service message I think that's a system error .__.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I am! I tried to look up some stuff on my phone...but they didn't work...hm. Most frusterating.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Can you check your email? Just sent you something that might help.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I can try to...I hope I fix this soon. I just got a new keyboard, and growing avacado plants can only hold me off for so long...

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

The first solution seems to work the best for most people, the TCP/IP stack one.

Mmmmmm....guacamole....

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I tried the others...they dun work...COuld you retype the first one here? Poly is easier to get to on my phone than my email...

:3 it was good guac indeed!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Here you go! I wish poly was easier to get on my phone that email |D

"I had the same issue and as it turns out, the issue is caused by a corruption in the TCP/IP Stack

To fix, you will need to run a command prompt as administrator

Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt (Right-Click and Run as Administrator)

At the command Prompt type : netsh winsock reset

Ignore all errors, restart and voila"

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that one...I've tried it, but I got no changes...hm...maybe I'm not doing it right.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I wish I could help more ;___; I hope you get the right fix soon.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

<3 Thanks. Caspian, king of the computers. I fixed it!! Somehow...

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Hahahahahaha King Caspian of the Computers.

Glad to have you back already!

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

:D I know, it didn't take too long, huzzah!!

[decade-of-rot.livejournal.com]

Oh nooo, I hate computer problems! I wish I could help, but I know as much about computers as a goldfish. D: Good luck fixing it!

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

>:3 Well, I'm glad that this gets to be the shortest hiatus ever, since I fixed it by updating vista!! :D

[no-commonplace.livejournal.com]

YAY EASY FIXES \o/

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I KNOW WOOO!! I'm celebrating by finally letting Hanna leave the hospital.

I have no idea if this will help or not, as I chalk this up entirely to Google-Fu, but sources seem to indicate it might be a side effect of the Baggle virus?

Anyway, I found these instructions which supposedly worked, so...worth a shot, maybe?

--------

RESOLVED!

Bagle turns off NDIS in the registry. Here's how to get it back to working:

1. Open regedit. Backup registry
2. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Services / Ndisuio
3. Look at the "Start" entry. If that is set to 4, then that is your problem. Change it to 3.
4. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet002 / Services / Ndisuio
5. Again, if the "Start" entry is set to 4, change it to 3.
6. Close Regedit.
7. Reboot computer
8. go into network connections. disable the wireless for a minute, then re-enable it.

It's always a bitch when that kind of thing happens. Up until now, my PC's internet-less so I'm perpetually using a laptop. ;o; Hope you get it fixed soon! I wish I can help, though. >:

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well, I fixed it!! Shortest hiatus ever!!
