    once found uncheck the box to let that utility manage the wireless network.

    Then go back to using the windows wireless configuration via the blue computer screen as per normal

    open the Intel Proset Utility and uncheck the box that let's that utility manage the wireless network and then connect as you normally do via " little green wireless icon at the bottom of the screen" as you put it:T

    sorry to be so dim but what do u mean by 'utiliy'? I haven't got an option for 'utility' in programs, just intel proset wireless and, if I click on that, then I get a box that opens and nothing I can see about letting the utility manage the wireless network :(
