Windows System Error Message
14 Answers
I keep getting a message on my screen saying
Windows system error
There is an IP address conflict with another system on the network.
As fast as I click on the X to get rid of it, it keeps coming back,
Does anybody know what it means, or how to get rid of it please?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.IP just stands for "Internet Protocol" and every piece of hardware between your phone socket and you has a (numerical) address.
Your router is one number
Your desktop PC is another
Your printer
Your scanner
Your laptop
Mobile phone with internet connectivity (got any of these)
If you've bought any -new computing devices- which expect to become part of your home network, you will need to run the Home Network Setup Wizard again, to get these addresses setup correctly. Two devices are currently competing for the same address, it appears.
If you use a Wireless router, then run the Wireless Network Setup Wizard.
It does tell you to get all the equipment on the network powered up when you do this but you can select an option to "just run the wizard" which sorts things out for that machine and makes the error message go away. Do the full routine properly at a more convenient time.
Hope that helps.

I don't know if the dongle counts as Wireless type network or Regular (wired) network.
Either way, I think the problem is that your laptop is trying to use stored settings which work when in your house but are inappropriate for the dongle.
Try running the Network Setup Wizard in Control panel.
If you have no other means of communicating with AB than this laptop, then await more expert advice than mine - just in case it goes wrong.
