Can anyone help me to sort this problem;

I have a wi-fi card in my pc , however i cant use the supplied software for my 3com adsl router with vista so that i can use my desk top wireless, my laptop that was set up when i was using xp and is working fine. when i lauch software it tells me that the discovery application as failed is the due to compatability issues if so what are my options.

I have e-mailed 3-com for support but they have not got back to me yet

 

cheers

 

Mark

I use a 3Com wireless router and it works fine with the software supplied by 3Com. However, the Vista update added a new driver that didn't work so I rolled back to the original 3 Com driver and all is well. Try that, using the Xp driver as I do.

This would be better off asked in the help forum, rather than as a blog post as you are likely to get more help there.
