OK, I had the 32 bit version installed on an Acer 4400 with 64 bit processor.
I followed the suggestions and the wireless worked. I uninstalled 32 bit and
installed 64 bit Vista but after following all the steps mentioned, no
wireless. Does anyone have a work around for the launch mgr in 64 bit. By the
way, the 32 bit and 64 bit launch mgr seem to be Identical.
