couple things quick. laptops have a wireless on/off switch, make sure its still set to on. also some in addition to the switch have a software on/off switch (usually one of the function keys i.e. F5, F6, F7 one of those) make sure that is set to on if it has one.

2nd, download and install an updated driver for your wireless card. either plug a network cable into your laptop to get it to work wired or download it from another computer. some windows updates have been known to "break" the wireless driver (especially vista SP1) and updating the driver fixes the problem.
