If all else fails, you could do this: LINK

Before you went that route, however, I'd wait and see if yrag shows up.

Hi Wizard1956, I have printed out the Win 7 no-reformat and will hold on to it for awhile. If it comes to that I will use it.

Thanks alot.

You may also want to edit your post to give more info in the title about what help you need. It may get overlooked otherwise.

Obvious question......Do you have a WIFI adapter connected via usb? Or are we talking laptop?

I'd go to the "network and sharing center" in the control panel. looks like there are options to establish a connection from there.

hope this helps.

Chances are Anna... if you have a PC, and have never used Wireless, your PC doesnt have a USB or PCI wireless adapter, quick trip to Wal-mart can fix that.

That was my thought as well.

 I try not to mind read.. all.. the time. 

Pretty much what I said...

wish it had of been my first thought.

Ditto, I skipped that part and assumed she had a service disabled that she couldn't get started.

If buying an adapter, consider where the PC is going to be. An internal card with a fixed external antenna is good if you have a PCI slot open or a USB adapter will work great if you have an extra port. Both of these will  need the computer positioned for best signal. If it's in a cabinet or if you have walls or other obstructions, especially metal ones , in between you and the signal, you may get a very weak connection. Both of these conditions applied in my case.

Since you may not want to put your computer in a window, an alternative is to get a card or USB adapter with an antenna that can be positioned for best signal. One with at least 3-4 feet of wire will give at least some "tweaking" for best signal.

I'm using a cheap $35 USB adapter on a 3 meter USB extension cable ($10) with the adapter taped up in a window. It works great and I get 90% signal to and from the router I connect to which is two mobile homes away.

Hopefully, that's a bit more helpful.

Wow, what a long-winded reply. I got my typing practice in for today.

Greetings all  ,

Wow, had no idea it was so complicated..... All I have is the name and password for access to wifi. The pc was purchased a little over a year ago. It was only $500.00 so maybe I do need the card or adapter. I will phone my dealer when I get home and get confirmation. I do not have a wireless modem or router. oChee Wawa!  Who knew I'd need all this. Oh yeah, everyone but me. With this new info though I have direction and will get what's required.  {Yay}

Gmc2, as for network and sharing center, I have pc and internet. I do not have the multiple networks in between..? Hope this won't affect anything..

Your all AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!  Thank-you so much.  

I received my usb wireless port adapter. No extension as of yet. {Had to order by mail..... and she couldn't find any....} I have access to someone's wireless, but, apparantly it's a restaurant 2 doors down. And I haven't any idea of their password..   Two addresses should be at my disposal but, my pc said they had different hookups or something like that,,,, that didn't work with mine.   OMG

I'm not giving up, almost.  If worse come's to worse, I'll hire someone. Everyone else is OK with their wireless.. It's driving me nuts.

Hope your all doing better than me.  Anna

Try asking if the restaurant will give you the password. Worked for me. Especially if you eat there from time to time.
