Intel Proset Wireless malfunction

A few weeks ago, soon after downloading MS Service Pack 2, I lost the Intel
Proset icon in my system tray. I'm on a Dell 600m running Windows XP Home.
When I tried to load the utility, it just hung. So I uninstalled it, and
re-installed it from my Dell Resource CD. Now I get an error message that a
component file is missing. So it still won't load. My wireless connection
seems to work fine without it. So I'm wondering, do I need it? And if so,
how do I install it so it works?

Thanks,
Mike

If this icon is for the Intel configuration utility, you don't need it
if using Wireless Zero Configuration (let Window manage this
connection). This is just a shortcut to the device properties, which you
should be able to access from Device Manager anyway. The power on/off
might not work (if there is a switch for this), but nothing else should
be affected. If this icon is the XP SP2 wireless connection icon, it can
be accessed from the wireless connection properties from the checkbox to
show the icon when connnected. It is possible that icon is not set to
always show in the taskbar properties. Right-click the start button to
access the icon display properties.
