    This computer has been bugging me for weeks. Its an EL80 from ibuypower and I had Xp on it then put vista on it then I am going back to Xp. Found the drivers off the internet and everything worked EXCEPT wireless internet. I have a wireless card in the computer, but for some odd reason all the programs to find internet says I dont. I have it hard lined right now and it works, wireless is a no go.

    I tried intel pro wireless drivers and gigabyte drivers.. I rele dont know what to do anymore and rele could use someones help..

    Model: EL80
    Issue: Need working wireless driver
    OS: Windows Media Edition Sp2 or 3..

    Thank you
    James

    If it helps any the light doesnt light up above the on/off switch for the wireless. I cant rele remember if it ever did.. I dont know if I am suppose to install a wireless switch driver to get it to work, but the one I download that comes with all the other drivers on the web gives me an error that says "doesnt work for this version of system" well something like that.
