I have a networking issue with my daughter's MESH computer which was working fine until last weekend. Now I can't connect to the Internet as I get the error 'Windows cannot find any networks'. This points to a problem with either the nVidia nForce Networking controller or the Belkin USB wireless adapter (a hardware or device driver issue). In device manager both are shown as working OK however (latest drive and software up to date). I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the drivers (from a Belkin CD supplied with the USB stick and from an nVidia download) but all to no avail. I've searched the Internet for a solution and came across this forum as it appeared other people have had similar issues. I've read all the posts I can find and tried to follow the advice which typically suggests re-installing drivers or uninstalling system updates but nothing seems to work. I've contacted MESH, but to date the responses have not been helpful. I've also tried the Belkin USB adapter in another laptop and was able to connect to my wireless network so it can't be the USB adapter itself. Is it possible there is a physical fault with the motherboard or is it more likely to be a Vista/nVidia incompatibility (how would I know?). I'm tearing my hair out here as my daughter needs the PC for school. Is there anything I can do before I have to resort to completely reformatting and reinstalling the OS (which may introduce other problems)? I dont understand what has happened as everything worked OK last week! I'm using Vista Home Premium 32bit by the way and trying to connect to a Netgear wireless router.
