Wireless Driver

Thread Starter 
When I connect a box comes up that says "There are no wireless network adapters installed. So the configuration utility will quit."

It connects fine to the inernet but the colors and font sizes are all ****ed up depending on which site I visit.

The router I use is a netgear router. The wireless card is
Red Inalambrica Local 802.11b WLAN PC Card

Ok I got an el cheapo wireless card. Anyway, I need a new driver for the card, I think. I've tried reinstalling the one that came with the card but it doesn't work. I think it was maybe because there is no xp option so I installed a millenium one. Even though they said when I bought it (on the electronics discount site) that its fine for xp.

Does anyone know where or how I can get a new driver for my wirelss card or how I can rectify this problem?

Um, what kind of a card is that? I mean, what's the brand name, maybe then I can help. "Red Inalambrica" means Wireless Network in Spanish. That's not a brand.

In any case, have you tried the generic XP drivers with it? I mean as opposed to some Windows ME ones. The problem with ME drivers is that they are designed for the 95/98/ME codebase, whereas XP is an NT/2K/XP animal. If you can get some Win2000 drivers, though, those might work.

Cheers.

The brand is not stated anywhere

I thought that was the brand.
Not on the box, the card , the cd or anything else.
Weird eh?
I got it from justdeals.com I think.
How do I get the general xp driver?
from microsoft.com?

Windows XP usually comes with generic drivers for just about everything. In general, if you don't feed it a specific driver, and it doesn't find anything else, it will "recommend" the generic driver. If you try to update the driver, for example, point it to the XP CD or installation directory (normally c:\windows OR c:\winnt), and see if it finds anything.

Cheers.
