I noticed one for the video adapter that was said to fix a problem with streaming Internet videos. That driver update turned out so well I decided to check the other refreshes available for my notebook. When I woke it up by pressing Enter again, the network icon showed a little blue globe in its bottom-right corner to indicate that I had an Internet connection.
After restarting the system, I put the machine to sleep by pressing the Windows key, the right arrow, and Enter. It took only a few minutes to download and install the update. I found a newer version of the driver on the notebook vendor's site. Not surprisingly, the driver was slightly older than the machine itself, which I bought last fall. Restarting the machine restored the wireless link, but then why use sleep mode at all? After a little trial-and-error (mostly the latter), I decided to check the age of the device driver for the notebook's wireless adapter. I would often lose Internet access when waking the system from sleep mode: the network icon in the system tray indicated "Local only." For the last couple of months, I have been trying to find the source of an intermittent glitch with my notebook PC's wireless connection.
