The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Win XP/BT Voyager 2000 Wireless ADSL modem/BT Voyager 1010 Wireless USB Adaptors

Asked by adrianobush in Windows Network Security

Tags: , , , ,

This is a very product-specific question and I imagine it will be very hard to answer unless you actually have experience with BT Voyager stuff. But who knows, maybe there is someone out there who can help........

I have two PCs both running Windows XP Pro, each with a USB connection
to a 1010 wireless adapter. The wireless ADSL modem (which is actually connected to the line) I am using is the Voyager 2000. I am having problems on one of the computers.

Using just my administrator account, everything works perfectly. However, on one of the computers there I have set up a user (limited) account for someone else in my family to use. The problem is that if, after switching on the PC, or restarting, I log straight into the user account without entering my own administrator account first, then the adaptor driver/utility thing (called BT Voyager Wireless Utility) will not start up by itself. When I go to run it manually from the Start menu, it comes up with a box saying either something similar to "Cannot detect BT Voyager 1010 Adaptor" or "Please insert USB adaptor", and doesn't open. Now I know that the adaptor is plugged in and working fine in the Administrator account.
 
The only way to avoid this is, as i suggested earlier, by signing into my administrator account first, then logging back out and signing into the user account. This way the Wireless Utility starts up without problems and connects to the adaptor. But obviously this is not an
acceptable solution.
 
I have also tried creating a user account on my other computer - with exactly the same results.
 
I strongly suspect that this is a Windows permissions/security issue. I have not messed about with any of the default permissions or settings.
 
I have already read the troubleshooting section of the manual and there is nothing related.Start Free Trial
