WiFi

I have just installed Vista but my wifi network does not show up. The network
is ok because as soon as I revert to XP it's there.
Any ideas?
I have switched the network finder thingy on.

Re: WiFi

Have you installed any drivers for this device or are you using the built in
Vista drivers? What is your Wireless hardware? (eg. intel, dell etc).

Re: WiFi

This happened to me too. Reboot in safe mode with networking (keep pressing
F8 at start up) then switch back out of safe mode and it should work.
