Question: The wireless manager skin is not showing anything, or information is incomplete or incorrect, how do I fix this?
Solution: you have to be using the windows wireless manager. Many WiFi cards come with their own software. Just uninstall the software, and only install the drivers for your card. You can try using add/remove programs to remove the manufacturer provided drivers. If all else fails, remove the wireless software from the manufacturer, and the wireless device in device manager, then unplug it. Plug it in, and windows will then prompt you for the drivers. Insert the CD and windows will install the drivers to enable the device. If the CD auto runs, and tries to install their software, just cancel it.

26.61&long=-
80.12&viewPortWidth=830&viewPortHeight=550&initialWeath erLayerType=radar&initialZoomLevel=

Question: My HDRadio will not work with the DigitalFX skin, whats wrong?
Solution: I have been told by at least 10 people that the HD Radio Skin in DigitalFX 3.0 works well for them (And works here as well), so I know its nothing to do with the skin at this point. It has to be a setting or hardware problem somewhere. This is unfortunately not a skin related issue, and thus nothing I can really do to help. You can check
this thread for problems and solutions from other users.
