I installed a program and somehow lost the ability to access the
internet through my wireless router. I did a system restore from a day
before and the wireless drivers came back. But then the next day when
I started my computer they were gone again. Is there any way I can
make this change permanent? I've never dealt with this kind of problem
before.

I did delete the yesterday, but I still had to do the system restore
this morning, but now when I do the system restore the wifi drivers
are still gone. Is there any way to get them back?

just an update. I reinstalled my Linksys router on my computer so now
I can get online when I'm plugged into the router but If I disconnect
the wire I lose connection. I try to go into my connection tab on
internet option and it only gives me an option for Broadband and
Dialup but no wireless. How can that happen. when I click on help it
tells me to click on wireless if that's what I want but it's just no
there. How do I get that back?

Hi,

You say you deleted the program - did you uninstall it ? if not, click Control panel, click Uninstall a program - if you see it listed, right click it and uninstall.

Do the drivers show up as being properly installed in Device Manager ?
Click start orb, control panel, classic view ,double click device manager.
Click the + next to your wifi device then right click the device in question and check it is listed as working also look under the drivers tab.

Suggest you visit the manufacturer 's website to see if there are new drivers to install.

You may need to set up your wireless connection again.

Unplug from the router - keep it switched on.

Click Start>Control Panel>Network and Internet>Network and Sharing Center.

On the left, click Set up a Connection or Network>Connect to the Internet>Next.

Choose your wireless network (you may need to input your password -if it is a secured network if so, use the same one you had before ) click Connect.

Hope this helps
