&quot;The only way to get the adaptor working again is to log in as local Admin and enable it in the Device Manager.&quot; - Does it work if you login as Admin? or even as Admin do you have to enable it?<br />
Might try making the user an Admin - just for the install (or power user)<br />
Then reboot, and take his priv. away afterwards.

The wireless LAN adaptor on a DELL Latitude XT tablet gets disabled in the Device Manager every time the tablet is switched off or re-started. The only way to get the adaptor working again is to log in as local Admin and enable it in the Device Manager. The tablet runs Windows Vista Business SP1 and the adaptor is controlled by Odyssey Access Client Manager Enterprise Edition V4.8. I tried all the advanced settings of the WLAN card in the device manager, Windows Power Settings or Odyssey Access Client Manager settings.

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
