I followed instructions on that website^ and NO RESULTS.

I don't understand how to do driver-related things. I don't know what my driver is... and I can't seem to figure that out. Can someone PLEASE help me?! This internet speed is slowly killing me!

I just wanted to add my 2-cents worth on the extreme slow connection and not being able to download with speeds better than a dial-up would be. I just bought a new laptop with Vista home premium and have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why the internet speed was so pitifully slow when my other wireless PC's running XP were very fast. Someone mentioned changing power settings to "maximum performance" so I tried it just for fun, then rebooted. I am now able to download files in a flash and pages load instantly. Why the power options should make a difference is a mystery, but it worked for me and apparently a few others as well.
