When you see the network icons in the sys tray are they red X'd out?
Click to expand...

YES!!! THAT IS IT

good job... no sarcasm intended ok?

If they're X'd out they're not connecting in the computer itself

thus that means that I should do what?


You need to go back into Device Manager and make sure everything is installed, your ethernet, WiFI, etc.
 
You have to install the drivers before the card accoridng to the quick install guide.

This also goes for Ryans last comment:

What should I do now... right now click by click?
 
Okay then listen carefully please:

I went to the device manager and then to the card's page

I clicked on update driver, after it repeatedly telling me that it couldnt find a better fit, I got it to install the drivers from the CD

no difference is noted
 
Try removing the card (from windows device manager and physically) rebooting turn off again then reinstall card (in different slot if you can)

Then run driver (check the linksys link i gave you )
 
As of now, if noone else has any good ideas that WILL help

I will reformat/reinstall

any help still will would be great

That will take you right back where you are now with all your programs gone!

are you sure that is true, that I will have the same wifi card issues? Perhaps its something bad elsewhere,,,

////////////no difference is noted



Did you restart the machine after the driver install?
Click to expand...

Nope didnt ask to, but Im doing it right now

Truly in my final state of frustration. just so you all know


If you're that frustrated just quit with it for tonight.

You're almost there, its better to quit and start again later than start from scratch with the same problems.
 
If I end up refortmatting and i run into the same exact wifi card issue, well then that sucks something horrible

but the Other Guy thought of something doable: uninstall the wifi card physically and through device manager
and try to restart and get it going from there:

cant hurt gonna do it now unless you Ryan object
 
/////////////are you sure that is true, that I will have the same wifi card issues? Perhaps its something bad elsewhere,,,



Well logically whats going to change?

You just did a WinXP repair installation, WinXP is fine at this point getting your onboard WiFi hardware is the problem.

Sometimes computers can drive you up a wall, its best to know when to quit and walk away, and try again another day.

wish me luck

Daves got a point there, some hardware needs the software installed first, if he says thats what Linksys requires pull the card and try it.

Oh, I should try to install the software without the card being in yet?

Okay I shall try (i was in the middle of removing the drivers, moving the card over a slot and then put the drivers on <at the point of booting into windows with the moved card>)

I am now shutting down and will remove the card and try to boot.

wish me

Good catch!

Sorry for the Dickhead comment 😳

I honestly thought you were just bashing with the dell comments, but it appears you were really trying to help!

maybe this will get him going.
 
IMPORTANT: Do not install the Adapter in your PC
until you are instructed to do so in Step 2 or the
Adapter will not install correctly.
1 Begin Installation
The PCI Adapter is installed and set
up using the Setup Wizard that
comes on the CD enclosed.
A To begin, insert the Setup
Wizard CD-ROM into your
CD-ROM drive. The Setup
Wizard should run
automatically, and the
Welcome screen should
appear.
B To install the Adapter, click
Click Here to Start on the
Welcome screen.
C After reading the License
Agreement, click Next to
continue the installation and
Windows will begin copying
the files onto your PC.
D The Setup Wizard will now
prompt you to install the
Adapter into your PC. Click
Next and your PC will power
down.
Proceed to Step 2.
 
got it waiting for winxp to boot, taking a long freakin time... here it is and here i go

I assume that my next step is to try to insert the Linksys CD and try to get it to run

the end
 
I was trying to apply my sense of humor (Mistake)

I really want to spend a day doing this guys pc for him as thats what i get paid for.

Please check your PSU once this is sorted then get a decent PSU from Seasonic anyway!

Next post will be back on subject (i know this annoys)
 
****** this is step 2 ********


Before connecting the PCI
Adapter to your PC, make sure
that your desktop PC is powered
down.
B Open your PC case and
locate an available PCI slot on
the motherboard. Check with
your computer manufacturer
for instructions.
C Slide the PCI Adapter into the
PCI slot. Make sure that all of its
pins are touching the slot's
contacts. You may have to
apply a bit of pressure to slide
the adapter all the way in. After
the adapter is firmly in place,
secure its fastening tab to your
PC's chassis with a mounting
screw. Then, close your PC.
D Attach the external antenna to
the adapter’s antenna port.
E Power on your desktop PC.
 
*********step 3 *********

The next screen to appear will be the
Available Wireless Network screen.
From this screen, you can launch
one of the three setup methods.
Setting Up the Adapter with
Available Networks
On the Available Wireless Network
screen, the available networks are
listed in the center table by SSID.
Select the wireless network you wish
to connect to and click the Connect
button. (If you do not see your network
listed, you can click the Refresh
button.)
If the network utilizes wireless security,
you will need to configure security on
the Adapter. If not, you will be taken
directly to the Congratulations screen,
shown in Step B.
3 Set Up the Adapter
IMPORTANT: For Quick Installation, use
this document only if your network
appears on the Available Wireless Network
screen.
SecureEasySetup: If you are utilitizing
SecureEasySetup, click the SecureEasy-
Setup button and follow the on screen
prompts.
Manual Setup: If you are utilitizing Manual
Setup, click the Manual Setup button and
