Wireless disconnect

I am using a Gateway Laptop M465-E with windows XP professional OS.
It is connected wirelessly.
My problem is when I reboot the laptop , it loses its connection to the
wireless.
I then have to reset it so it will find the wirelsss connection and work.
This all happened recently as it was operating fine till then .
I have not loaded any additional software , so I am wondering what causes
this and what to do to fix it.
Anybody with some help would be greatly appreciated, as it is very annoying .
Thanks to anyone with a possible solution.
