Okay, yesterday I downgraded from Vista to XP home edition..
It took me a long time to do this because whenever i plugged in the xp cd and installed it said that i need to right to "upgrade to xp" so i needed to have an older cd..like windows 95' 98' 2000' etc..
So i went out looking for our OLD windows 95' cd..after i found it i plugged it in..and it let me install my windows xp normally..like it usually would.
After the installation everything was PERFECT..runned smooth.
When i was ready to hook back up to our DSL internet (Qwest..with a wireless router and modem)
so when i tried to hook up to our wireless internet ...which is usually in the bottom right hand corner.
i looked down and there was no ...well..no 2 little computer screen with an X over them..the wifi symbol
I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO!!!
the only way i can get online is by hooking it up by the cord..but we have a laptop, so i don't want to
IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS WRONG, OR NO HOW TO FIX THIS PLEASE HELP.!!!
THANKS!

If you have a wifi card, for example Linksys, you probably need the drivers for it. Look it up online, and download the correct drivers. Once installed that should fix your problem.

Its as simple as this, you need the wireless drivers for your laptop. Plus the correct encryption key
