It could very well be simply that there are no wireless networks available for you to access.
Even if your computer is wireless-capable, you will still need to have a Wireless Access Point (WAP) available. Or you will have to purchase your own combined router/WAP.

well i guess it's a faulty machine.my friend used to have an hp machine with an amd processor, i can't recall the exact series i think its a 5000 series(not so sure),so anyways, it says that it has a wifi built in(wifi capable).but when we checked it, the device manager shows there is no hardware or anything for wireless to work with it.so i think that's your problem..faulty machine

make sure the wireless services is running. if your using windows zero configuration (windows wireless) go to Start > Run > Services.mcs and make sure windows zero configuration is running and set to automatic. If your using something else make sure that service is running. Then go to Control Panel > Network connections > wireless and make sure its enabled

Because you need a wireless router.
RTFM for your laptop.
