    Hi all, i have been having an issue that has me perplexed, i recently did a clean install to windows 64 bit, and now i cannot seem to get the intel wirless client to work, it will only let me use the windows wireless client. I downloaded the latest drivers and utilities and software, both from the intel website and the dell site, installed both, but does not allow me to use the intel wireless client. Anyone have any ideas of what i may be doing wrong ro what I am not doing correctly to activate the intel wireless client.

    I dunno.. as far as I know, I don't think there is an Intel Wireless Client in Vista, I could only find the statistics application. :/

    Usually the Intel wireless is the default when installed , and you have to go into the windows wireless settings to make windows the default
    You can try reinstalling the Intel application
    I actually prefer windows over the Intel proset utility
