I had a problem with it and had to delete everything and start over. So I put Windows XP back on but now for whatever reason my computer won't pick up the wireless internet. I downloaded the drivers and everything, but still nothing. It always has worked but now it won't. Is this something I can fix or do I have to take it somewhere?

Hopefully you used the "System Restore" program that came with your computer. It is on the hard drive (start, all programs, PC help and tools, system restore) Or, it came on your Recovery CD, that came with your computer.
If not, you are better off to consult with a reputable computer repair tech, at a local computer store!
Was the computer wireless ready, out of the box? Or did you have to use the Windows XP's internet connection wizard, to set it up? Check your "?" HELP icon, to go to get help with the problem.
Or go to Microsoft.com, and check their website for answers.
Good Luck!!!

Try going to Device Manager in Control Panel, look for the adapter and remove it than restart the computer and it should redetect it and install the drivers. Good Luck

yeh man that the ticket. screw driversand a pair of pliars plus tape need electrick tape to wire things up right. sometimes it helps to use heavy duty aluminum foil to clean up with. try vacuuming out the box. i found a dead mouse in mine. really. how it sqeezed in seems impossible but it was there and i did have a mouse problem at that apt. once you have all your tools and supplies assembled start fixing! when you have it all wire properly then close the box and screw it. see, how easy it is to maintain computers. nothing to it.

You may have to download drivers for all your different systems off the manufacturer of the computer..Dell, Gateway, whomever.
