Wireless Connection. Need HELP!! Hardware switch~!!

Expand Post »
I just got a laptop from Gateway with Windows XP Pro installed. I have wireless router and the new laptop will not find my conncton so i downloaded new INtel Pro/Wireless 2200bg driver software. After it's installed, it has a window coming up but everything is disabled and its X'ed and colored in black. The bottom says Wireless is off, so i click on turn wireless on. Then it comes out a warning says The intel pro/wireless network connection is still disabled. Use your hardware switch to enable it. I ca't find the hardware switch. Can some one please tell me?

Gateway might have their own proprietary Wireless application installed; take a look in the taskbar. You might want to give them a call -- Sorry I can't suggest anything else, as I've never used a Gateway laptop
