I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 which I have been using at home on the wireless without a problem. Until it had a virus and needed to be wiped. Since then I have not been able to get on to the wireless. I know my encryption key is correct as I added it to other laptop without a problem. I have tried the following but it did not help.
Right click on My Computer and select properties
Click on Advanced tab
Under Performance click on Settings
Click on Data Execution Prevention tab
Select Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select
Click on Add&
Select: C:\ProgramFiles\Intel\Wireless\Bin\Dot1XCfg.exe
Click OK until all pop-up windows are closed
Restart the computer"

Any suggestions as to what else I might try. Thanks for the help.

Yes I understand you have done this..why ??? did you get an error ???

What operating system do you have ?
Are you SURE the wireless adapter is switched on? There is normally a function key sequence or a small switch on the laptop to enable/disable the wireless. Check your user's manual or try <Fn><F2>, which is described on page 40 of that manual.
