hello

i just formatted an acer aspire one D255E laptop and i installed all d drivers. The problem now is that the laptop sees wireless networks but cannot connect to any of them...."windows cannot connect to the network", then it asks me to troubleshoot which is of no help.

i have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers to no avail.
the device manager is fine.

i do not know what to do again.please someone should assist me.

thanks

I have one additional suggestion that works for me on some of the tough problems, assuming that you wireless router is working and configured (in other words other devices can connect to it). Install and run THIS free program and change your wireless adapter IP address. It will also save the old address. Then restart, allow the adapter to detect the local wireless networks and then select yours and enter the security type and passkey (make sure that you know those ahead of time).
