Answer» I just bought a new laptop that came with Vista Home Premium. I INSTALLED Vista BUSINESS and went to the Toshiba website and downloaded all the drivers they had for the Qosmio X305-Q703. Now when I TRY to connect to wireless network I get this: Windows cannot find any networks There is a diagnose option. That gets me:
This computer does not have a wireless network adapter installed and configured. Install wireless networking hardware and verify the correct drivers are loaded.
In the device manager it lists Realtek RTL8168C(P) Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0)
I assume that is the network adapter. When I double click on it, there is a window that has device status. That says: This device is working properly Any ideas? Thanks Jim Nevermind, I got it! Thanks for being here though. You have bailed me out many times before. JimTry to reinstall driver: http://www.radarsync.com/driver/d275761-realtek_rtl8168c_p_8111c_p_pci_e_gigabit_ethernet_nicDid you see the above? It started working. Should I install that driver anyway? The problem was that I just didn't set up the network connection! JimSorry. I didn't see your reply, when I posted Broni, Thanks again for all the support. I'm curious. I bought that laptop with Vista Home Premium on it. I really don't like Vista and I use it at work. I tried to install XP PRO but it would not install. It said something about it not being compatible and that the XP was older than the Vista. So I gave up and installed Vista Business. The machine has a Intel 2 core duo 64 bit processor. If the XP Pro is 32 bit, would that have anything to do with it not installing? I wouldn't think so. The Vista Business I installed is 32 bit also, and it works.No...the 32 bit is not making the install go awry...Vista is. If you really want to do this procedure we can walk you through it. Start by collecting XP drivers for every component on that machine and POST back. I had to leave the office today and work in the field. Our IT guy got my computer and put the things on it that I need for work so guess I'm going to leave the Vista on it and learn to work with it. (go along to get along so to speak!) Thanks again for the input. At least I know now that if I really need to I can go back to XP in the future. JimWhen you'll get used to Vista, you'll like it.
