In both of your previous post you stated that "When I right click and select
view available wireless networks it doesn't show any (not even my network
which the icon says it sees)." and "But there are no available wireless
networks (SSIDs) shown even though the wireless icon show it???" My simple
instruction to click on Refresh network list, is a very simple test to
determine what is controlling your card. A blank list here often means some
other program is controlling the card, clicking on "refresh network list",
will generate an error message if windows is not controlling the card.
You've said you restored it, or rolled it back in time, have you also
updated all drivers and windows security patches?
