My build is finally finished but i am having trouble getting internet. I got my comp built at a local shop. The guy ordered a wireless card, but it wasn't compatible with vista. When he downloaded the driver for the wireless card on a cd and put it in my comp, my comp would lock up and freeze. I decided i am going to go with a usb adapter likehttp://www.linksys.com/servlet...pper&lid=1897446152B01"] this one[/URL]. The only problem, is that it is not compatible with vista. There is a driver for vista but next to the model number on the adapter, it needs to say version 4 so you can download the vista driver for the adapter. If it is any other version, i don't think it will be compatible with vista.
