    Well today I got a new Toshiba A130, its a really nice computer but vista was bogging it down so I decided to install XP. I installed XP, and everything works fine except for the wireless. Now I reinstalled the driver for the wireless off the disc that came with the laptop and it still dosent work. Any help?

    Thanks!

    Do you know which brand of wireless card is in it? The lower-end A130s seem to have the Atheros card, while most of the rest have the Intel 3945ABG.

    If it's the latter, you should be able to find the drivers on Intel's site pretty easily. If the former, I'm not familiar with Atheros, but you should be able to find those drivers at Atheros' site.
