| Vista Home 64 | Wireless adapter will not enable. Hello- since moving to a new location I've been having problems with my internet connection, and have ran several test. Yesterday I went to a wired connection instead of wireless, and then decided to go back to wired. Since my wireless connection is through a linksys WUSB600N and it has known problems with skipping when playing games like World of Warcraft I turned off WLAN and had disabled my wireless adapter, then installed another program to run the connection (Which I had done previously though the last time I didn't turn off WLAN or disable my adapter). Then I went to enable the adapater and it wouldn't enable. I also turned back on WLAN and restarted. It still won't work. At this point nothing I do will enable my wireless adapater. It shows it is enabling but then it just keeps saying disabled. Any suggestions would be great. The light on the WUSB600N doesn't even turn on when I plug it in now, and it just worked less then 24 hours ago. |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Wireless adapter will not enable. I am having the EXACT same problem... has anyone found anything out about this one yet? Not many things baffle me, but this one has my hair coming out by the fistfuls... Thanks much, Jim <SNIP>...I went to enable the adapater and it wouldn't enable.

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Wireless adapter will not enable. No... I have two different, brand-new USB adapters: Linksys WUSB54GSC v2 (Drivers downloaded from Linksys yesterday), and Belkin F5D8055 v2 (Drivers downloaded from Belkin tonight). Both sets of new drivers ARE Vista x64, and both NICs ARE on the compatibility list at MS. It feels to me like something is turned off that needs to be on, but I checked the WLAN service, and it is on and normal. I have disabled and even shut off the Ethernet NIC in the BIOS and tried the wireless NICs, but no joy. What am I missing? Thanks for the reply, Jim |
