By Jove, I think he's got it! Did the above, yep, that was the problem. The services came under the names of rtlprot and rtlwusb. After getting rid of those and a restart, installing the drivers, it works perfectly. No drop outs yet, and PSK TKIP works a charm too. The only problem is...

OK, I've searched some more, and simply I just believe either its a faulty device or problems with the drivers. After contacting ASUS they assure me that its most probably drivers since there are only a few stable drivers for vista. Now I have come to the conclusion that the device simply...

Nope, no luck I'm afraid.

P.S. Sorry to double post. Just remembered more details if needed, running on x86... if that helps OS Name Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Business Version 6.0.6000 Build 6000 Other OS Description Not Available OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation System Name MY-DESKTOP-PC System Manufacturer...

Hi, It's been a long time, but I'm back with a problem, well more of an annoyance. Basically I have a new PC, with a ASUS P5N32-Sli Premium Mo-Bo. I have vista running on the system all and well... however there is a little quirk which is really becoming quite annoying. Basically the Mo-Bo...

Turns out all I had to do was go onto Power Options Properties in the Control Panel and enable Advanced Power Managment support in the APM tab. Thanks Again.

Thanks bcastner, I'll get back to you on the shutdown problem.

Also another thing that has been bugging me. I have Windows XP Home, on my laptop and on the start menu > all programs, it expands accross the screen. Whereas on my desktop, Windows XP Pro, it does not expand and stays a list which has to be scrolled, up or down. Is there a way to change this...

I was wondering how, if possible can I gat my computer to turn off after I shut down as I need to press and hold the power button to turn off my computer. Previously when I had a dual boot, Windows 98 would turn the PC off after shut down and Windows XP never. It hadn't bothered my as I was...

Well I went ahead with it and deleted the new XP instillation through the other XP and removed the files and everything seems to be OK again. I recommend to others that if you are going to do something similar to what I wanted to do, please dont do it the way I did it. Like wolluf said plan...

Sorry I had forgotten that "Hide Protected Operating system files" had to be unchecked. Now I've gotten rid of the boot entries would i be able to delete Windows XP?

I have located boot.ini. Now I can't seem to save the file as it is read only. How can I save over this to get rid of the other entries? Also would I be able to just Delete the files and folders to get rid of the other instillation of Windows XP?

AHH thanks, and I went ahead with it. However after I formated C: I rebooted my PC and it said ntldr not detected. Im not sure why even though XP was suppose to boot from the new partition which i moved ntldr and boot.ini into before I formatted. So I restarted and booted onto XP CD and went to...

Thanks, so would I have to restore XP with the CD? and just to make sure if I do format C: and no option comes up to load either OS. Would entering the Windows CD and restarting the pc execute the CD? Being that the BIOS settings looks to the CD Drive.

If I hadn't made things clear, sorry. I want to keep Windows XP and Uninstall Windows 98 ie getting rid of dual boot and Windows 98. p.s. Due to two different HDD and partitions. If I do format my C: drive only, would it be obligatory to back up Drive D: too?
