Error Message - Network adapter not installed??

mac123

Hi there

I am trying to connect to my wireless and it's stating Wireless Network adapter not installed or configured.

I was using the wireless this morning (after not using it for a few weeks). It said I need to install windows updates and I now can't access the internet

Does anyone have any ideas??

Thanks

Do a restart if you haven't already. Is it a card or a usb device ?

Can you connect it to the LAN of your network. That way you can install your updates without wireless.

If not, you can possably download them on a diffrent computer with internet access, then transfer them across (external harddrive or USB pen).

Right click your taskbar, properties, then change your start menu to clasic or somthing like that.
