| 475138 | 2006-08-01 09:31:00 | Did you get a manual with it? If not have a look in Device Manager, presuming it's got a MS OS on it. Haven't had any experience with wireless but at a guess there should be something in there. | mark c (247) | ||
| 475139 | 2006-08-01 09:40:00 | Yes i do have a manual but am not sure about what to look for. I have windows XP on my laptop. I am not very good at this but, what would i be looking for in the device manager? |

| 475143 | 2006-08-01 10:06:00 | You might also have a physical switch on your laptop to turn on or turn off the wireless - most (but not all) laptops with wireless have this switch so that you can make your battery last a bit longer by turning off the wireless when you aren't using it. | Greven (91) | ||
