hi i have a laptop i havnt used for a while but is still pretty good even by today's standards.
i'm trying to set it up at my home wireless network but it wont recognize it when i choose to view the available networks.
i know its not that its not a compatibility issue or anything like that cause there are like 6 networks around my house, some security enabled some not, and it doesnt recognize any of them (it does try to connect to one but its too far, and still doesnt show the one its trying to connect to).
it is probably a virus, right now im running AVG on safe mode.. but does anyone know about this problem and can it be fixed without reformat?
it has some other virus where it doesnt allow me to open firefox for some reason.. only IE5... and other wierd stuff >.<
thx in advance

If you can, save all your documents, and everything you need, reformat with Windows 7 if your laptop can handle it.
-
its 1.6GHz 1GB RAM (thought it was better lol)
windows 7 has less requirement than vista?
id like to keep xp.. i dont like switching around the OS on systems unless they were made for it.
what im most interested in is for it to recognize the wireless network! -
To the OP: what laptop do you have? What wifi card do you have? Are you running XP SP3? Do you have the XP installation CD, and is there a reason why you can't reinstall the OS, if necessary?
cant find/detect wireless networks.. it used to work.
