Hey everyone, New here...

I have a Dell Inspiron laptop with Vista Basic. I purchased a Netgear wireless router and had no problems after the install yesterday. I also downloaded an Anti virus program the same day since my protection expired recently. Now my computer froze last night so I turned it off before going to work. When I get home this morning I went to turn on the computer and it froze after I logged in.

After trying numerous times and using safe mode I was finally able to get past the log in screen, because the computer had to restore itself to a prior day's settings. Problem is now my wireless card is turned off, the "fn" and "f2" key are not turning it back on... any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Try to reinstall your wireless card's drivers. You can easily find them by looking under device manager.
