I have set up wireless connections (after massive problems detecting a wireless card) but every time i hibernate or switch off the computer it asks for a password. Is there any way of getting 7 to save passwords and auto connect?EDIT: Sorry a little sketchy on details, 7 is running on a very old vaio with a standard intel wifi card. Trying to connect to a vista ad-hoc network, and a university wifi network which is username and password protected. Vista auto connects to the uni wireless wiith no problems

You could try this.In the Device Manager go to the proerties of the wireless network adapter. On the Power Mangement tab remove the check mark beside "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". Note that this may affect your battery life while in sleep mode.Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience

Thanks for the help, I've done that but it still requires password after restart. Is there anyway of remembering and auto completing the password?Thanks for the help

HiHow you have set wireless access connection?

Hi,As far as I can see there is no option to change it. How do you do that? Is there anyway of making it remember passwords and try connecting automatically to non-standard networks, if not then this is irrelevant.Thanks

I have not wireless NIC to see what options you have, but there is a way I did not tried yet.Try this:1.Open control panel2. Click on USer accounts and family safety item3. Click on credential managerThen I think you must add new general credentials entry

I have a question that you all might be able to answer... for some reason I have alot of trouble connected to hidden networks wirelessly... Anyone have a solution to this?

HiWhat you mean? What troubles and why you say problems with hidden networks?

the issue that i have is when i have a hidden ssid, it gives me issues connecting automatically, usually saying that it cannot connect to the network, but after i put in the SSID in the other network option, it gives the same message, but connects to the hidden network. I work around it now, but its still somewhat of an issue since it doent auto connect to the network at work since its hidden as well
