Hi,

I recently bought the E4300, did a clean install of Vista x64, downloaded all drivers from Dell website.

Installing of Vista was successful, however after installing the wireless driver (Intel WiFi Link 5300) successfully (Windows recognized the HW), then reboot, it would take more than 5 minutes for the computer to restart. I also notice the WiFi light is turned off. Only bluetooth is lighting up.

I checked the bios to make sure the wireless is enabled. Also checked the hardware switch and it is turned on.

I did several installation and the wireless adapter is the culprit, causing Vista to boot very long.

Any ideas?
