    Hi all. I didnt know whether to put this here or the wireless forums...


    Ok this is what is happening.. In the mornings when i start up the PC my wireless is not working, It's a Netgear router and USB key. I got it from NTL.
    I re-install the software and it works.. Then when i restart the PC it's gone again.. Nothing will get it working.. only re-installing the software again.. this has happened over the last 5 days and it wrecking my head...

    Any ideas what to do ?

    Weird.
    Have a look at your startup items (especially msconfig or in the registry) before and after the driver installation... see if it's adding anything.
    Then see if it's still there after the reboot.
    Sometimes installers will set something to run on the next reboot to clean up after themselves... maybe there's one here that's breaking something... or some other required permanent entry that's not surviving a reboot.
    It's always worth downloading newer drivers, just incase this is something they've fixed already.

    What's the device manager showing when it's not working? does the adaptor disappear or have 'not installed properly' status?
