You said It has not been used for a while? Could be expired software or the update links have changed. There may be connection problem on their side. Go to their website for details / updates.

SOURCE: Asus Eee PC wireless connection pending

You may be choosing the wrong encryption method. For instance your entering your wireless key (WEP) and you have it set on (PSA, WPA). Make sure those settings match. Also you may have an IP conflict which is resolved by setting up a static ip. If the encryption methods match and you need help with a static IP let me know

SOURCE: Asus eee pc 900a wireless connection not working

I've experienced the same problem with my ASUS netbook. Uninstall the wireless hard - remove hardware in control panel, reboot the machine and allow it to auto find the adapter again. This should correct it. If there are still problems verify that you have the most current driver for the wireless adapter, either from Asus, or the wireless adapter chipset manufacturer (i.e. Intel, broadcomm, etc.)

I was trying to install some update and it would not install. What was is- the update available for AVG product cannot be installed

Has the subscription run out on the AVG product? An update will not install on an outdated subscription.

Do you have more than one anti-virus program installed? having more than one anti-virus program installed can cause problems as the two programs (or more) may be fighting each other.

Finally, try uninstalling the AVG product and reinstalling it again. Then try the update.

I get failed windows update. problems downloading. pc freezes.

Make sure your anti-virus program is up-to-date and working. Then carry out a full scan of your system. If you do not have an anti-virus program then download AVAST or AVG for free. Microsoft also has a free anti-virus program.

Can't update or even find eTrust EZ Anti Virus on my computer

I was using SBC Global while in California. I moved to Oregon and am currently using Comcast. The problem was that my anti virus was part of my SBC Global package. I was able to contact SBC Global where they informed me that they use Symantac which uses Norton anti virus. I was able to contact and download Norton uninstall tool to uninstall the anti virus. I also uninstalled the SBC Global software (AT&T Yahoo) and that enabled me to install new anti virus software.
