try checking out the wireless properties. from there you can configure your wireless connectivity. there is a way to solve your problem.





click on start - select control panel - click on "switch to classic view" - then click on 'network and sharing center' - on the left hand side you'll see 'tasks" and under it youll see "manage wireless networks" and 'manage network connection' there is something like "connect to this network everytime i turn on my pc" please try to look it up there.





also you can try this. click on start - select "connect to" then the connect to a network window will open - look for your network on the network list - then right click on it - select properties - then from there you will have some option.





also, you can try calling up your computer manufacturer's help desk for assistance.





i do not have my work manuals here that is why im kind a lacking in my instructions, however i have dealt with this issue many times when i worked for hp/compaq as a help desk support.





also try checking out this website: www.vistasimulator.com, its a vista simulator, you can try stuff here before trying it on your computer.
Reply:Go to COntrol Panel, Power Options (You may need to choose the classic view first.)





In the advanced section on power options you will find some settings regarding power to your wireless adapter.





Also make sre you are not letting your pc sleep after a certain idle period. If so adjust the power settings in control panel
Reply:another good reason to upgrade to msoft vista


Vista the Windows ME of our day
Reply:The power options in control panel might have a setting to disbale the wireless adapter from shutting down when the PC goest to standby.





You should also be able to check the settings on the device it self from the the device manager





Goto device manager (right click my computer/manage/device manager)





Find your wireless adapter and right click/properties





From here check the tabs and look for a setting similar to what I described above
