| | Re: upgrade to vista ultimate and no wireless card now. Hi, There is no Vista Pro, so I don't know what you upgraded from. If you meant XP Pro, did you check with Dell support to see if the wireless card is Vista compatible? You might try removing/uninstalling the device via device manager, then reboot and reinstall it with the most recent driver set from the card manufacturer (not Dell, but the actual maker of the component). -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "gavin" <me@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:qugh54933godcksfng1d9canvvelvoe8ip@xxxxxx Quote: >I downloaded lates drivers from Dell, no go, I reinstalled drivers > several times, no go I checked in cmos and it is enabled.

| | Re: upgrade to vista ultimate and no wireless card now. Does the card show in device manager? If so If not got to step 2 1. disable it. 2. Shutdown your computer and remove the card. 3. Then reboot you computer and confirm that the card does not show in device manager if it did before, 4. shutdown the computer again 5. reinstall the card and put it in a different slot if one is available. 6. Reboot and see if the card is detected. "gavin" <me@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:lb3n541dcic4vbp78gjqt0kj1g01p99675@xxxxxx Quote: > no errors just says no wifi card found.

| | Re: upgrade to vista ultimate and no wireless card now. Thanks I will try that after I take it to the GS at Best buy. I just re-reinstalled my home premium and it won't see the card either even after I install all drivers. I'm going to let them test the card and maybe they know what is wrong. Thanks again.
