      probably should have copied the forum bbcode... regardless- the third system tray icon from the right is your network status, which appears to be wired. Why are you trying to diagnose the laptops wireless issue with your desktop? (If you are running SP1 or Non-SP XP I apologize since the icon will look the same)


      On another note, you have WAY WAY WAY too many system tray notification icons... this means you have a lot of background programs running. I, for example, have four at the moment. MSN messenger, the "safely remove" icon, volume control, and taskSwitchXP Pro.

      If you are willing we could help you remove the cruft, but for now- as I said before, this appears to be a screenshot of your desktop PC, not the laptop encountering issues (correct me if I'm wrong).

      well, that would explain why it's wireless connection doesn't work.

      the screenshot we want would be the computer experiencing problems. Since you refuse to reboot the router and almost certainly put a end to this whole mess, we can go no further in resolving a router issue. As such, we can only assume (read:hope) that the laptop's wireless perhaps has a problem.

      Ah, that makes sense. Ok, can you get a screenshot of the computer that DOES use wireless?
      Make sure you open the "Program" list and also make sure that the system tray is fully expanded.

      I am going to assume that you did NOT shut down the program.

        get the image, and then copy it to removable media which you then place into the internet connected machine. Or, if available, use the ethernet plug on the laptop.

        In the same vein, however- How are we supposed to diagnose problems with the laptop with screenshots of your desktop machine?

        1. No program, just unfold the program list in the start menu that says "All programs" or something similar so I can see a list of installed programs
        2. I'd put it on a diskette.

            Don't go. every second without you is unbearable agony.



            9:00 does work for me; I can fit you in wednesday at about 8 AM... Oh wait- I've got a appointment with my hoo.. I mean, roxanne- (I know, it's a bit early, but their morning rates are great). They've even got an no-STD guarantee. where was I? Oh yes... so not 8:00 AM- I can fit you in at 8:05, I'll be done by then.
