Hi Great site! I found it on google.
24 hours ago reformatted my Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop which runs xp. After the reformat I re-installed windows xp and the drivers form the cd. Im not sure I got all the drivers because there are a dozens of them, but I think I got them all.
This computer has an internal wireless card. But After the reformat I cant get online anymore.
I cant find that small green icon anymore that shows the wireless connections in my area. I cant figure out how to get it.
heres what Ive done:
1. I downloaded xp service pack 2 on my other computer and ran it on this desktop. But it made no difference I still cant get on.
2. I did the fn + f2 and yes, it shows im on.. But I cant get online.
3. Ive played around in the Network COnnections area and made every single kind of connection, and I still cant connect.
4. I went into control panel / system / hardware profiles and under "Other devices" theres a block of deviced that have the yellow ?/! on them.
But, when I pop my cd in to update the drivers, it doesnt find them on the cd
It goes to the CD and looks at d:\ (where the cd is) and says it cant find the driver. Im using the DELL cd's, but I dont know where on the cd to look.
Then it asks to go online to look for the driver. Grrrr, I cant get online.
Ive been struggling with this for 20 hours and im so beat. any ideas?
thanks!
