I did run a scan and it came up with Module
C:\windows\System32\Drivers\dxgTHK,sys **suspicious** which means jot

In theory its part of Microsoft DirectX, so usually not worth worrying
about.


I found the key but it makes no difference.

It may be a key *combination* (eg hold down the FN key AND the wireless
symbol key), but as long as there isn't a physical switch that's turned off,
try:

Open up Device Manager - In XP I think you go to control panel, Performance
& Maintenance, system, device manager

You'll see a list of hardware in your laptop, click the little + next to
"Network adapters" (if the tree isn't already open), identify your WiFi
adapter, right-click it and if "enable" is select-able, then select it.
Otherwise, select "properties" and it should tell you if your wifi card is
working and if not, why not.

If you have no joy there, then right-click your network card again, select
"uninstall" and reboot. This should re-install your wifi card and enable it
(don't panic, it should be automatic), and we can take it from there.
