I'm back again... lol... today we're dealing with my Vista PC that's being used as a Media Center...

Everything was working as it should for the last 2 weeks. We had a power outage this morning and when the computer loaded again, my wireless adapter is gone! I've tried restarting, nothing. I opened the case and moved the card to another PCI slot, nothing. I uninstalled my PCI BUS, restarted and Vista reloaded everything, but the Wireless adapter. Everything else works fine.

I contacted tech support they simply return the adapter for another one. ((thanks))...

Anyway... I do plan on exchanging it, but wanted to see if there's another solution.

I'm running:
Vista Ultimate
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Mobo
AMD 64 3800+ / 2GB RAM
Wireless card is "DLink WDA-2320"

The wireless card turns on and the little green light is blinking like it's looking for a wireless signal, but as far as Windows is concerned, the card isn't even istalled, lol.

As always... thanks for any help,
TK.

Try system restore & see if that jots Vista memory - provided nothing's wrong with wireless adapter, it might actually work.

hey people. I'm having a similar problem with my system, except sometimes Vista will detect my wireless card while othertimes it wont. Ive tried the same as above(uninstall-reinstall and system restore point) To no avail. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Try also moving the PCI adapter to a different PCI slot.
