Not finding wireless networks

[scotthybhoy1]

Hello,
i recently had to clean up a laptop of a few years worth of crap and no protection on the machine.

i had to do the disk clean up in safe mode as it ran far too slowly to do anything without a monumental level of patience, the problem i have now is that the computer doesnt seem to be picking up the wireless network around the house even though other units laptops are working fine and i was wondering if anyone knew what the problem may be. the laptop is an advent unsure of the year or model but it runs with windows vista.

Did you check in the device manager to check the status of the wireless adapter and its driver?

If the device and driver say that they are working properly, HERE is a troubleshooting guide to go through step by step to find the issue.
