laptop wireless system

Radsteral

3 weeks ago i amanged with help from people here to clean up my dirty laptop who was as slow as a buss
today, as it was working fine , it disconected and i suspected bt broadband- but that was ok ... the netgear shows all fine so i conected cable straight to computer and it conected to internet...
i thought maybe something with netgear but when i went to print from my vireless printer, it wouldnt do either , so the wireless on computer seems to be the problem ..
any help ?
thanks

try uninstalling and re-installing your network adapter(wireless card)....

go to control panel/system/hardware/device manager, find your network card in the list, uninstall it, re-boot lappy and let it be re-installed (should happen automatically).....

and...you haven't inadvertently caught the wireless switch and turned it off ?? position of switch varies according to make/model, but could you have done this ??
