| Vista Ultimate 32bit dual-booted with XP Professional | XP-Vista Dual Boot Internet Problem Hello everyone. I'm new to this website. I have a new computer which has got Windows XP and Windows Vista 32bit dual booted. I am able to access the Internet on Windows Vista, but when I switch over to XP, I cannot access the Internet. I use a D-Link Wireless G Desktop Adapter. I had installed the driver software on XP. When I select my wireless network, it starts to connect. But then, it keeps on doing this for a little bit. Then it fails, and it keeps on repeating this. I also keep on receiving a pop-up message that says that there are wireless connections found, but when I click on the balloon, it says that there were no wireless connections found. I would REALLY love some help. Could anyone here be able to help me? |

| Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Ultimate x64 SP2 Windows 7 7127 x64 | Re: XP-Vista Dual Boot Internet Problem Do you have all your updates in XP especially the SP2 and 3? I had the same problem and it came down to the way my security worked in Vista. ((WPA-Personal) AES) and XP did not recognise it until i did the updates. |
