Win 7 x64 and Intel 3945ABG Wireless Continuous Connection Drops
I've seen several posts on this issue and I haven't found anything that solves this problem. I'm running a Lenovo T60 with the Intel 3945ABG Wireless on Win 7 x64 and my wireless connection is dropping every few minutes. I can't recall ever having this problem before. I'm not sure if there was a driver update that is causing this, but I do have the Intel 13.0.0.107 drivers. Is there a known fix for this?Program Manager, SQL Server Reporting Services This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. http://blogs.msdn.com/seanboon http://www.twitter.com/ssrs

Hello Sean, According to your problem description, I suspect that it should be a device driver incompatibility related issue. First you might go to Device Manager, right click your hardware device in the list and select Update Driver Software; then click Search automatically for updated driver software or directly download the latest driver from Microsoft Update Catalog. Note: Drivers on the Windows Update site are directly provided by hardware manufacturers. Microsoft tests drivers in various environments before they are published; however, we cannot guarantee all drivers will work on all hardware platforms as there are too many different models, although their hardware ID are the same as the standard version. In some cases, due to hardware modifications by different manufacturers, the driver updates may cause some error. If it does not work on your issue, I'd suggest you installing the Vista driver in Compatibility mode. Remove and rescan that hardware device in Device Manager, right-click on the driver executable/installer file -> Properties and select the Compatibility tab; click the checkbox before Run this program in Compatibility mode for option and select Windows Vista in the list-down box; then try installing the device driver via Run as administrator. In addition, you can use the Windows XP driver for testing. Meanwhile, please understand that Windows 7 is a new operating system and whole driverstore has been reprogrammed; you might wait or push the device manufacturer to upgrade its driver. Thanks for your time and understanding! For more details, please look at the first Sticky thread at the top of this forum. What can I do if my hardware does not work? This will give you some guidelines. Good Luck! Andy
