Setup and Hardware Problems

This section will help you solve problems that you might encounter while running the Setup Wizard or joining your network with your Microsoft Broadband Networking Wireless PCI adapter for the first time.

Note Run the Setup Wizard before connecting your new hardware or disconnecting your existing Internet connection. This is important because the Setup Wizard will help detect your current settings and configure your new adapter.

The Setup Wizard will not start or locks up when I run it on my computer.

The following troubleshooting steps will help you track down and solve the problem.

OVerify that your computer conforms to the minimum system requirements. The packaging lists system requirements for your Microsoft Broadband Networking adapter and software. If your computer does not meet the minimum requirements, the Setup Wizard might not function correctly or might not start at all.

OYour hard disk might be full. Make sure that you have enough free hard disk space to install the network drivers and Broadband Network Utility. You can check the amount of free hard drive space by opening My Computer and selecting your hard drive in the main window.

OVerify that your CD drive is functioning correctly. Try launching the Setup Wizard by double-clicking the CD icon in My Computer. If it still does not start correctly, try inserting another CD. If the other CD works correctly, you may have a bad CD.
