Problem connecting to WiFi - wireless icon not working

Hello,

I seem to have a problem with my WiFi. Left-clicking the wireless icon in system tray doesn't work as in literally nothing happens. When I open the network and sharing center and click on "connect to a network" then also nothing happens. Right now it's only a minor problem, because my laptop auto-connects to networks it already knows but when I want to connect to a public WiFi in a cafe for example I can't look up any networks.

Also I'd like to point out that setting up a new connection to connect to a WiFi works but for that I need to already know the network name and security type. Windows can't find any problems either and I've reinstalled all network adapter drivers.

Hope anyone has any ideas and thanks in advance.

Yup, that's correct. All the other icons work fine, just the wireless icon doesn't project up.

Same with another administrator account and with a guest account the wireless icon doesn't even appear.

Nope, never used any although right now it seems like a good idea to try.

I really like the built-in software as well but not much i can do right now so it's a temporary solution. Don't have any repair CDs either so can't really do that. System restore didn't help either...
