Have you attempted the T/S. Right Click on the internet icon in the Taskbar and choose Troubleshoot.

If Ted’s advice above didn’t work, try deleting the wireless adaptor within device manager and reboot to allow Windows to reinstall it’s driver with default settings.

I would advise you to take a full backup of your system drive before attempting the above though!

Did you actually delete the wireless adapter and let Windows reinstall it after booting? The Device Manager may think everything is working properly even though the adapter driver is not correct.

Thank you much. I did delete the wireless adapter and after 3 reboots windows did reinstall. All appears to be working well.
Thanks a bunch.
