    I recently reformated vista on my new laptop. Everything seems to be runnning fine. But it seems now that my wireless dissconnects after about 10-15 minutes of use. Then i have to restart the computer. Hopefully someone knows something???

    Try updating the drivers on the wireless card.

    if updating your wireless card drivers dont work try resseting the channel on ur router and bringing the laptop closer to the router if possible as the dropping in signal could be due to lack of signal too
