| | Problem after re-installing Vista Please help! I have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li1718. I had a problem with spyware so I re-installed Windows Vista using the disc supplied with my laptop. Before the re-installation, my wireless worked perfectly fine. However, since I have re-installed Vista, when I click the wireless button, nothing happens. It appears my laptop has lost the capability to start any sort of wireless detection. Please help as it is a new laptop and I don't want to have to buy a new one! Thanks |

| | Re: Problem after re-installing Vista The installation disk probably did not include the drivers for the specific devices in your computer. You should have also gotten another disc with hardware drivers on it. Even better is to go the the Fujitsu site and download the latest drivers for your hardware. Especially on a laptop the hardware is tweaked by the maker so that generic drivers can't work with them. This may be true for video, sound, and networking devices. Note that there may also have been (may still be) the ability to restore (vs reinstall). On many machines if you hold down the F11 key while in the boot sequence you get the opportunity to restore exactly as it came from the manufacturer. Check you manual for such an option.

| | Re: Problem after re-installing Vista Simple thing, but also check to make sure that the "hardware" Wireless LAN switch is on/enabled... If it is like my T4220 at all, many people would never notice it... --- Jeffrey Randow jeffreycentex@xxxxxx Windows Networking MVP 2001-2006 http://www.networkblog.net On Tue, 20 Nov 2007 17:50:43 -0500, "Michael Walraven" <mexxwalraven@xxxxxx> wrote: Quote: >The installation disk probably did not include the drivers for the specific >devices in your computer.
