Well, I got it to work.. Were on the phone with 2 hours with the verizon tech.. They said my wireless modem firmware is out of date, and have to do a update on the firmware.. and it took two hour to take care of that.. Now I am able to connect... yippie. The guy that I spoke to were helpful... I was using my cellular to call them, and got disconnected lots of time.. and he hept calling back..
that's what I call great service.. heheh.. Yes my wireless router is in the basement..Btw, who's using vista here?? Does it really take about a mins to load up to the desktop?? I have 2g of memory.. before I did the update on the vista, it were about 45 second to load up to the destop, but once I did the updated, it took about 1 mins.. anyone??

Or it could be all the junk that dell's include on their computers. Usually the first thing I do with store bought computers is uninstalling everything that came with it.

Almost all of the time, it takes about 2 restarts for the computer to finishs updates. You will always notice that after a major windows update, either a big package or multiple packages it will slow down at the next restart just because of background installations. Glad your back in business Snoopy, I mean Mak.

I call that DellWare. I hate DellWare! :supermad:
noting seeing volume icon? try this:
start-control panel-sounds and audio devices-check on "place volume..."
if its checked, uncheck it then check it back.
also check to make sure ur startup tray icons r not being hiden in the taksbar properties.
vista is a resource hog. my xp boots up in under 45sec. it also depends on how much software u have n on the startup tray among other things.
:bigeyes: 2 hours to update the firmware. wow
i did mines in 2 minutes
