i'm currently on Vista Business and would like to upgrade to Vista Ultimate? any significant differences that might make it worth the upgrade?

my apologies if this question was asked b4. too many pages to browse through.

hi all. i've posted this in the Vista Helpdesk thread but no replies there.

i'm on Vista Business Edition. recently, i can't detect any new wifi connections, even though the network icon on my taskbar says that "wireless networks are available" and i'm standing right next to my wireless router. when i click that, the "connect to a network" window appears, but it says "Windows cannot find any network". I can still manage to connect to my previous wifi connections that i have saved up and set to automatcially connect when they r available (which means nothing wrong with hardware)...but i can't detect/add new ones. (not even wifi hotspots)

i'm afraid some of the Vista updates from Microsoft have screwed up my wireless. sweat.gif

any help will be greatly appreciated.

cheers.

thanks for the article.

but i'm afraid the problem still persists. my wifi is already at "maximum performance". it's not like i can't connect to my existing wireless connections. it's just that new ones just won't show up on my "connect to..." window, even if Vista indicates that there r wireless connections available.

sigh...

thanks for the help, though i got a little impatient b4 i read this post and resetted my C: back to factory settings (i.e. format), since i just got my lappy during PC Fair, so nothing much to back-up for now. it has solved my problem.

but i dun think the netsh command will do any good to me, coz whether the router/AP broadcasts any SSID or not, it still wun show on my "connect to" windows. i'm sure TMNET hotspots and the Starbucks/Coffeebean wifi hotspots do have SSID. i had my TMNET hotspot account saved on my lappy and it did connect automatcially whenver i'm in Starbucks or near an AP, but it just will not show up on my PC. even the official Windows Vista community forum @ Microsoft's site were baffled at my problem. i guess it's one of those hidden bugs in Vista.
