The Inventel wireless widget on my lappy has suddenly decided it doesn't want to talk to the livebox any more so I am down to one computer with internet access......its causing mayhem as the kids can't get on their favourite sites unless I vacate my seat at the PC (which I daren't as I'll never get it back )

I spent half an hour on the phone last night to the Orange "helpdesk" in Bangladesh - fat lot of good that did......it still ain't working and I have gone through their website and tried all sorts but to no avail
I have even tried reloading the cd and that won't work either......I get as far as the first screen, click proceed and it freezes

Any ideas?

Hi Lindy
Disconnect the live box from the mains. Reconnect and let it sort its self out . This will take a few mins. [ till the red lights return to how they were originally].

If this do's not work. press the number 1 button for about 15 seconds.
Hope it works.

Hi Keith

Thanks for the reply......

Well I tried all of that but no joy. The main PC which is wired through the Livebox is fine but the lappy still won't play ball.
When I click on the Inventel status it tells me there is limited or no connectivity
I click on Repair Inventel and get:
Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed:
Renewing the IP address

Interestingly enough, I ran a full scan the night before this thing took a dump and found no end of horrors in the HKLM which I moved to the virus vault.....trojans, tracking cookies and all sorts of adware - when I tried to fire it up the next morning is when the problems started.

It did come back up momentarily when I was fiddling with it this afternoon but as soon as I re-booted it died again.

I did get a warning window
C:\windows\system32\PCANDIS5.SYS
Trojan horse generic 10.ASPV
detected on open

so I clicked "heal"

Still nuffink!

You could try going back to a Restore point at a date or time when everything was working. You could also try reinstalling any software for the 'widget', look to see if there is an update for it first.

Phil.

Thanks Phil...............ummmmmm...how do I do that?

I tried re-installing the software but the disc won't run properly.

Hi Lindy

Is your orange acc. for unrestricted down load ? Orange have become padantic lately about weather acc's are restricted or unrestricted .
But sorry I have exhausted my very limited knowledge on the subject.
Being a mech. engineer, unless something is revolving or moving from side to side or going up and down my ability is somewhat limited.
Best wishes with the problem.
Pudseykeith
PS Just a thought, is your laptop switched on to wireless connection

Lindy-C

I have no idea Keith, and I would reckon my knowledge is far more limited than yours

Your ideas are very much appreciated

I feell another lengthy call to Bangladesh coming on!

Lindy, on WinXP, to restore your system to when it was all working do the following.

Click on start/all programs/accessories/system tools/system restore.

This will run a wizard. select "restore my pc to a previous..."

Choose a date in bold type that is before your problem started. Then select the restore my PC option.

Hope this sorts your problem.
