    Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5200 @ 2.50GHz
    2.00 GB Ram
    nVidida GeForce GTS 250

    Please help me!

    Ansewered questions:

    Have you checked to be sure the router is working?
    How many networks do are you normally able to see with your machine?
    Have you tried restarting the machine, uninstalling the wireless adapter drivers and re-installing?

    1st question:it is working
    2nd question:now i cant see anyone.

    Are you on a desktop or a laptop? Are you using Windows to search for the networks or an application that came with the wireless adapter?

    It could be a hardware not a software/driver problem. I suggest the wireless adapter is faulty.

    If the wireless adapter is faulty, reinstalling Windows won't fix a hardware problem. That said, after installing Windows, did you install all motherboard, LAN, sound, video and wireless adapter drivers?
