    When I on my wireless, it always show blank "Windows cannot configure this wireless connection". It was not like that (at least showing some wirelss connection, not blank). I did delete a few start-up program, and I guess I might delete a essential start-up program for wireless connection? How can I bring it back to what it was? Thank you!

    you would have to delete the intel wireless program completely, but keep the driver alone.

    the intel wireless program also allows you to choose to use winXP to configure, you can pick it as an option.

    did you delete intel wireless program?

    i personally use just winXP to connect because it uses less memory.

    So insert your Asus Driver's CD that came with w7j (not the recovery disk). then go to wireless, and go to something like WLAN drivers, don't remember the exact name. Then select modify. uncheck everything except the driver (at very top of list). Now you'll be left with just the driver and winXP should be able to connect using that.

    If you already uninstalled everything. Select custom and pick only driver.

    If you didn't partially delete intel wireless software already, then you should be able to connect with that, or set it to use winXP to connect.

    Also, make sure your wifi is not disabled. Maybe you accidently hit the toggle button or something?
