i have used this computer for over a year without any problem. but before it was hooked up directly to the router to get its internet. i just recently gave the computer to my brother and bought him a wireless internet adapter, the linksys compact wireless-g usb adapter to be specific. when you restart the computer it will connect with no problem, will find multiple options to connect to and the one from my house has 5 bars so i know it can find the internet. but after about 30 seconds to a minute it just disconnects and wont show any wireless networks. i have uninstalled/reinstalled a bunch of times already, the wireless interenet on my moms computer is working fine, and i installed the usb adapter to my moms laptop as well to see if that worked and it worked like a charm on hers. does anyone have any ideas what might be the problem? i looked for problems and found nothing but praise from other people with vista. thanx ahead for anyone who can help me.
