I just got a new Toshiba laptop...and I need halp D:

The freaking wireless adapter won't turn on.  I enabled all that I can enable, disabled and reenabled, and diagnosed the problem.  When it's saying it's "repairing" (i.e. trying to turn it on), it just stops and says it's still turned off.

Is this more confirmation that Vista sucks?

I WANT INTERNETS ON MAH LAPTOP AAAAAAAAAA

:(

unplug your router, count to ten, plug it back in?

that's what I have to do, usually, not just vista, it's usually the router's fault.

nononononono, that's not the problem.

The problem is solely in the laptop itself.  The wireless adapter inside the computer is not turning on.

oh. was it installed wrongly? Is your OS uncompatible with the router? like a different bit vista?

But this has nothing to do with the router >_>

Sounds like you might have some bad drivers installed, such as Windows Vista. :P
Downgrade to XP.

Actually, XP is an upgrade from vista in my eyes XD

but yeah, it's the drivers.

I'd love to, but I don't have a copy of XP with me at the moment and The Best Buy guy (who I hope is lying) said that you can't downgrade to XP cleanly because of unsupported hardware.

this is a new computer, I hope not :D

So would just running another OS solve the problem?  Does the problem solely have to do with Vista?

New OS, with support for your drivers. or a different bit vista?

you think Gutsy Gibbon will have support? ::)

And I'm guessing that since Vista Home Premium 32bit is preloaded on this computer, the computer was made for it :P
