717492 2008-11-05 18:40:00 Once you've extracted the contents of the Zip there is a folder called RTL8187B inside there is a folder for the Vista drivers.

In device manager right click on your wireless network adaptor, select "Update Driver Software", a box should pop up in here select "Browse my computer for driver software". Point Windows to the location of the drivers as stated above.

717493 2008-11-05 18:56:00 Am I doing something wrong possibly? Everyone I try to run setup it says "Sorry wrong Operating System". I have Windows Vista LeeVic (14277)
717494 2008-11-05 19:21:00 Did the above steps. It says in Device Manage the device is installed/working correctly. However the wirless button still has a Solid Orange light. Any insights? LeeVic (14277)
717495 2008-11-05 19:56:00 Have you tried pushing the button and connecting to a wireless access point? stormdragon (6013)
717496 2008-11-05 21:05:00 Yes, if you are referring to the on/off button for the wireless. Ironically, I tried to intall an external wireless to my USB port and it's not recongizing it this way either. CAT5 Cable is the only way I can access the Internet. Please advise. LeeVic (14277)
717497 2008-11-05 21:56:00 Why were you trying to install drivers in the first place? Was it a new install, did you just feel like it or were you having problems? stormdragon (6013)
717498 2008-11-05 22:07:00 Hi, this was my original post: Hi There,

I downloaded Wifi from their site to my Toshiba Satellite Laptop and have Vista. (I was thinking it was Windows 2000, wrong laptop). Every since then my Internet only works with a CAT5 cable. I have tried everything I can possibly think of.

- The problem occurs at both home and office so it's def the computer
- I've tried to scan for hardware changes and no success
- The wireless card is a SOLID orange and turns on an off
- Tried to repair the wirless connection
- Did a Windows update

I am so stumped and been driving myself nuts for days trying to recify this issue but have been unsuccessful. Any help that anyone can provide I would more then greatly appreciate it!!

717499 2008-11-05 22:21:00 Yea I read that, but if I'm reading correctly you never gave a reason for attempting to install drivers when you originally installed the Win2000 versions.

Sorry if I'm reading it wrong.

717500 2008-11-05 22:29:00 Hi, I was thinking I needed a separate WIFI driver for when I was on the train etc. My mistake.. Could it be a network setting since the device says it's working properly and ironically the external one I tried to installed will not work as well. I am so Stumped.. LeeVic (14277)
