Problems after re-installing vista

[Tarak]

Hi
I just re-installed vista
I wasn't able to activate it online when it asked me to
So I installed it without the key
After installing it
I re-started
The first thing i did was i went to --> start menu --> connect too --> then i saw, 'Windows cannot find any networks'
My network thing is on
WHT TO DO
thx

Always start with the easy first. Lower right, the newtwork indicater, right click and trouble shoot.

If the icon is not there, type trouble shoot in search by the start button.

I did that already
But it asked me to update
I cant connect to the internet
When i was installing, i didnt format that partition
Do u thing that is the cause?
If i format that drive will i be fine?
THX

Here is my question:

How did you install was it an upgrade (you did not have to reinstall programs)
It was a custom install (you had to reinstall programs, but did not format)
It was clean, (you had to reinstall programs and you formatted)?

 

[Tarak]

custom

This is what I suggest, do a clean install. Do it over and you will be ok.

Clean install is always the best, even if you do not have any problems, at first.

You can, also, watch how it is done on you tube. To be honest, I did that.

i hope it works
THX A LOT MAN

1 more question
the title is 'Help protect windows automatically'
and then it says
1 = Use Recommended settings
2 = Install important update only
3 = ask me later
i have to choose from these 3 options
what to do

 

[richc46]

I think that there is a problem, if you are doing a clean install and it took less than 25 to 30 minutes something is wrong.

but still it says u need to have network adapter installed and configured

i m starting to get worried

There is a problem with your internet connection. That is why you cannot install. Was the internet working before you reinstalled?

 

[Tarak]
