Hi,

I have a Zepto (company went bankrupt) computer with a Vista peremium 64-bit os. For about 2 months ago i reinstalled the computer but it was yesterday i needed my wlan card for first time. I can use my wlan but i can use wired internet. I have tried both old and new drivers. I got the computer wlan switch on but i still can't enable wlan under Network connections. Everything under the device manager is installed and working correct. When i enbale My wireless network it does not change. It is still disabled. When i try to enable it true my Ralink (wlan card distributor) software it just say "Switch radio state fail". I'm completely out of ideas now. Help will be appreciated.

Hi, a few pieces of advice for you.

Make sure your drivers are up to date (even thought the company's gone bust it may use generic drivers)

Try enabling the wireless card then restarting your PC.

Make sure your PC is up to date (Especially make sure you have SP2 installed)

See if there are any options to do with your Wireless card in the BIOS.

Hi,
Thx for the reply. The card is built in and made by Zepto (what i thought it was when i bought the computer). I used a hardware recognizer that told me that it was a Ralink. I have both tried the Zepto drivers that they still have on their homepage (ftp.zepto.dk) and also tried the drivers on Ralinks homepage. I have also tried enable -> reeboot alot of times. And i can't find any wlan settings in the BIOS. I also got all windows updates installed.
I just realised that i have a USB wireless adapter and tried that out aswell. It finds the adapter and automaticaly install the drivers. But that network is still disabled and i can't activate it. The USB adapter is a Linksys adapter.

Thx everyone for the help!

I just found the problem on another thred. It was Zone Alarm causing the problem. Works like a charm now :)

So you can see the adapter in the Network connections manager.

But it is set to disabled.

Right clicking on it and selecting enabled, does nothing but bring up an error

In that case, it sounds like you might have a dodgy driver.. The best think to do is find the last driver for it and download and install. Even if it looks like the reason you already have...
