Win 7 Netbook Wifi gone and won't come back.....

Have both got Red x beside them ?

 

[TableLeg]

No they have an exclamation mark.

Reset your Router ... Check that Network List Service / Network Location Awareness/ Network Store Interface Service Services set to be started and Auto....

 

[TableLeg]

Thanks Maxie but I've tried that a number of times. This is the only device that won't connect.

I looked at whether it was related to an IP issue but trying to follow a number of CMD prompts they would fail due to the 'media being disconnected'.

 

[maxie]

It was working so you need to go through the Settings again ... What ever you changed stopped it from working ..

 

[TableLeg]

I've tried so many things now I've lost count of what was helping and what was not.

I appreciate your help though.

 

[maxie]

I do understand ... Looking for an easy fix do you have any Restore points ?...

 

[TableLeg]

Restore fails as well.

 

[maxie]

Check and see if there any corrupt Files ...

Scannow said it found issues but could not fix them.

 

[maxie]

Repair Install might be needed ...

 

[TableLeg]

Thanks again, I'm not sure if I can. Do you need the install disc for that? My Netbook came preinstalled so I have no disc.

 

[maxie]

The ISO is in the Link below ...
