Computer 2.) with the Belkin Adapter is a Windows Vista. Up untill just recently both computers were fine then suddenly The Vista with belkin lost its connection now I cant get it back ive tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it butI cant get the belkin adapter icon to appear in the system tray tool bar.when i click on the properties it comes up unable to find file. many times ive tried reinstalling but the icon will not show up? Could you please help me i filled in an online form at Belkin support but noone as got back to me and its been some time. Thank You Sharon McCracken [email protected]
Assuming you can't get it to run from the desktop icon, as long as the driver is installed which it should be, you don't need Belkin software to run your connection.
the easiest way in Vista is to go to control panel>network and sharing centre and see if network discovery is ticked green.
If not on top left of window is connect to a network, then see if your wireless connection is listed, if so click connect, if not at the bottom of the window, click set up a connection or network and follow the wizard.
