Windows Vista wireless connection

Noak3 · 05-15-2007, 12:11 AM

Hey
I just installed Windows Vista on my computer, and the wireless connection won't work anymore. I previously had my computer installed with windows XP Media Center Edition and my wireless card worked fine. Can someone help?

thanks

What kind of wireless card do you use?

Sounds like either you dont have a driver for it or it isnt supported by vista yet.

I knew someone in school who had issues like that - they tried everything under the sun and eventually removed the driver and reinstalled - it worked the second time for whatever reason...

But like SF said, I'd check to see if you have the latest driver, and then uninstall the current one and update with the new.
