Since two days ago i've been having a problem with my laptop, and i just can't figure out what it might be.

My Laptop:
AMD 64x2 1.7Ghz
1 GB ram
Originally with Windows Vista, but i changed it to
Windows XP

The problem starts after i close my lid and it Windows goes in Stand by mode.

When i flip it open again, and Windows restarts, my wireless device does not turn on, and i cannot turn it on again. So far it turns back on after a while, specially after a cold start.

If anyone could give me some ideas of why this is happening, or even how i can fix it. I would greatly appreciate it.

Open your Device Manager, scroll down to the Network Adapter, right-click on the Network Adapter, select Properties, Power Management.
Then uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
and click OK

Because it has not been triggered to reactivate, so the best plan really is not to put it into standby mode. If you need to then you will have to right click on to the network adaptor select "disable" and then right click on it again and select "enable", this will bring the wireless network on-line again. Hope this helps you.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.

I love the idea. i don't konw how i didn't think of it before, but unfrotunally it didn't work.

My wireless device still not coming up. And i will take up on that idea, I'm just not going to go on stand-by anymore.

I'll check back see if i can get it to work.
