Wireless Card Stopped Working

My wireless card stopped working, so I went out and bought a new one
thinking that my card may have gotten broken in my backpack. Then I
found out that the new card I bought didn't work either. When I look
under device manager it shows that my PCMI slots are working fine.
Anyone have any ideas before I pay an ungodly amount at a computer
store to get it fixed? Thanks

Try uninstalling then reinstalling it.

Someone else suggested uninstall then reinstall the card.

I agree, but not knowing your skill level, would note that you want
to:
1. start with the card in,
2. run the uninstall utility (if there is one) or else use the
"Add/remove programs" to uninstall anything related to the card,
3. go into the Device Manager and delete the card there (if it still
shows up at that point)
4. shutdown and turn off the machine
5. remove the card
6. power back up, let the machine come all the way up at least once
without the card
7. from here follow the manufacturer's installation procedure
-exactly-

If this doesn't help you can post back here, but please tell us your
machine, the card, what operating system you're using, and what
symptoms you are seeing.

Hopefully this will do it for you
Good luck.
