Intel 5100 Wireless-N Driver Problems
I have reinstalled Vista Home Premium 32-bit on my Inspiron 1545 and am having trouble with my Intel 5100 Wireless-N (1x2) Half Mini-Card. I have read the welcome thread, but still can’t get my connection to work. The drivers that are checked under “My System” after I run the “Drivers & Utilities” CD, are the Realtek RTS5158E Card Reader Rev: A03 under Chip Set Drivers, Intel GM45 Video Rev: A02 under Video Drivers, Intel Intel® WiFi Link 5100 Rev: A02 under Network Drivers, and Intel Matrix Storage Manager – Notebooks Rev: A00 under Serial ATA Drivers. During my first attempt I installed the Chip Set Driver and the Video Driver before attempting to install the Network Driver. When I tried to extract the files I received an error that said "Please insert disk #1 into the drive, and click OK." The only CD’s I have are the “Drivers & Utilities”, “Operating System”, and “Application”, none of which worked. Since I still have internet access on my desktop, I downloaded the driver from the “Drivers & Downloads” page that applies to the Intel WiFi Link 5100. When I ran this on my laptop I got the following message “This self-extracting zip file is part of a multidisk zip file. Please insert the latest disk of the set.” Again none of my CD’s worked and after clicking “OK” a few times I received another message “An error occurred while unzipping. One or more files were not successfully unzipped. The error code is 110.” I then reinstalled Vista again and followed the same steps except I downloaded the System Software driver under System Utilities on the Drivers & Downloads and installed it before the Chip Set driver. I got the exact same error messages. I checked my Device Manager and under Other Devices the Ethernet controller, network controller, and SM Bus Controller still have exclamation points next to them. How can I get my wireless connection back? Thank you.

tdigregorio1,
I have the 5100 wireless card working with Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit with no problems. Try updating the driver at...
Intel® Driver Update Utility for Intel® wireless adapters
These are My Intel WiFi 5100 AGN Connectivity Settings
