Help with Windows 8 Intel My WiFi Dashboard

[idata]

Hello everyone,

I'm hoping this is a relatively easy fix, but I guess we'll see. I got Windows 8 Pro through my school, and now I can't seem to figure out how this new dashboard for windows 8 works. I downloaded the windows 8 dashboard from intel, but when I open it up, the only option that is available to me is the do not disturb option, and it isn't in the lite version, so I guess I'm not sure how to get my devices to pick this up again since I don't have wireless and hotspot switches on my dashboard anymore :/

Occurs the same with my notebook. With Win 7 works well, but with the upgrade .. Win 8 and the new MyWifiDashboard (version 15.5.0) only the not disturb option appears.

Hi.i am having the same problem after installing windows 8. Have a hp envy with a Intel Centrino(R) Advanced - N 6200 AGN network adapter.

I have the same issue. Windows 8 X64 the 6300 Intel adapter on an Alienware. Software version 15.1.1 showed the hotspot options, but said it wasn't a compatible version of the software. The most current software does not display the features.

Same problem with Win8 x64 @ Dell l502x with Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1030.

Same here. Running Windows 8 Pro with a Centrino Advanced-N 6235. All I want to be a happy customer is hotspot functionality! Bring it full circle Intel! I stopped using a Killer Wireless-N card because of bad drivers and slow support. Granted, at least I have stable internet with the Intel card, but still... was looking forward to this perk I remember having last I owned an Intel Wifi card.

[idata]

Same Here Still at this time on M645 s4070 Toshiba satellite, Windows 8 Pro Latest drivers and Mywifidashboard. When are we going to have a fix please!

[idata]

I remember having the dashboard working with windows 8 consumer preview, but it must be a certain combination of driver and dashboard versions, has anyone tried another combination? please

Hi Have the same issue running Win8 Pro on Fujitsu T902 hybrid tablet/notebook with an Intel Centrino Advance-N 6205 Wi-Fi adapter!!!

[idata]

Same problem here on an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6250.

I did a driver update on windows 7 via the Hp support assistant and now my intel wifi dashboard is a lite version.

On windows 8 I only have the 'do not disturb' tab.

[idata]

same issue (((

Reinstalling the PROSet/Wireless software will fix this. Mine got fixed. remember when installing, choose "custom" installation type and make sure you've checked all the items as "Run from local disk"

[idata]

same problem with Intel 6300 and Win8 x64 pro

[idata]

Where is that option(run from local disk)? I don't see that option when installing ProSet software even under custom installation. Am using v15.6.0.

[idata]

it needs a registry tweak.here is how:

open

http://pastebin.com/WKeUcxgx http://pastebin.com/WKeUcxgx

then,

open a notepad, and paste the text from the above link. save it as a .reg file and run.. after adding the registry info, you'll get the "Run as Administrator" context menu for MSI installations.

inform me if anything goes wrong.

from which part should i copy that paste.
