I am running the new Vista ..I was running win XP with a wireless card in the old one but now on a new Dual core machine with the Vista I opt for the USB port antenna..problem is I am getting really bad (slow) speeds ..My son installed the usb and at the time Vista would not accept the software that came with the unit (USB)..he went on line and did a go around to have the computer accept the usb. I have SBCGLOBAL for a I P ...I called them they were no help..said all was A OK at their end.

When I go into the hardware files on the machine it shows me that the drivers need to be updated...I am afraid to attempt that being a Newbie if I screw it up I'm dead in the water with a hole in my boat.

any ideas on what I can do ...if I try and do a driver update and it does something to cause me to lose the internet...can I do a system restore to pull everything back ????

As you can see I need help ..son is away at school...thanks hope someone can help.

Do you know the make and model of your USB wireless card?

...if I try and do a driver update and it does something to cause me to lose the internet...can I do a system restore to pull everything back ????

Yes, or just go into the control panel and device manager where you can roll back the driver.

• Right-click the device for which you want to re-install the previous version of the driver and click Properties.
• Click the Drivers tab.
• Click the Roll Back Driver button.

It's a linksys wireless -G usb adapter model WUSB54GC

Question why the slow speeds that I am seeing ...also the router is also Linksys but not the g style ...bear with me as you may have guessed this is not my thing but I was under the impression that even thought the router is of a earlier style etc it was backward compatible.

Should I now try and and do a device update ??? I am really worried here that I will screw things up and not be able to bring things back...thanks for your help with all this!!
