Wireless Internet Adapter Malfunction Hello,
My computer, about every 20 minutes, stops working and I get the message Internet Explorer cannot find the site. When I run a diagnostic, it says that my wireless internet adaptor has dropped the connection to the internet.
I have checked if I am connected to the rooter and if a cable is bad. I have Norton and PC cleaner. It's not any kind of crimeware.
This started after I had set up the wireless connection. It had worked well for about four months and then it started doing this.
There is another laptop in the house and their wireless internet connection is fine.
Basically, I am not an expert at computer language, so if possible, simpler words would be appreciated.

Does this other computer:
1. Connect via the same router?
2. Also have this "PC cleaner" software installed?

Holt,
I believe that's what I should call you. And I am so sorry but instead of abreviations could you please use the whole words. I am sorry for my ignorance.

Hi,
I got to the ipconfig but I was lost after that. I saw all the information and maybe I was supposed to put that on the desktop but I didn't know how to do that. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP OS Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit |

Open Notepad on the desktop...then when you get the ipconfig /all, right click in it, select all, go up to top left in the title bar, right click the little icon and go to edit, copy, then go to the Notepad window and paste, then file, save as, put on desktop as ipconfig.txt | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP a1250n, dv7 3173nr OS Windows 8 Pro 9200 x64 w/Media Center CPU AMD 3800+ X2 Motherboard MSI 7093 Memory 3GB Monitor(s) Displays Hitachi 22" CRT Samsung 24" sa550 Screen Resolution 1600x1200 1920x1080 Internet Speed 20Mb/s Other Info http://www.pixelmansion.com Wireless Internet Adapter Malfunction problems?
