Hi again Tech Support Forum :-)

I'm having issues with turning on wireless capability on Vista. First of all I prefer XP and trying to sort out the issue of installing XP Pro to a SATA HD. Untill then let me explain my situation...

I have a Huwaii wireless router, right now I'm connected through the LAN... A few days ago my ISP talked me through setting up the wireless which was working fine untill today after I tried connecting to another wireless network (which was unsuccessfull)...

Anyway, so I open up Network and sharing centre, in the left column I open 'manage wireless networks', the new window pops open and my wireless network is there... So I close that window as there's no place to turn on wireless network and go back to manage network connections, and this time click on 'Network Connections'... Now I find my local area connection as well as the wireless connection which has a red cross and says no connection. Right, if I right click and say connect, a new window pops open and say's 'windows cannot find any additional networks' aaarrrrgggg!!!

So now I go 'Diagnose why windows cannot find any additional networks' windows scans and says: "Turn on Wireless capability. This can be done using a switch usually found on the front or side of the computer, or a function key combination"... There's definitely no switch on the front or side (Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 1818 Notebook), any idea what the function key is???

Also in the past few days, after everytime I shut down and restart, Vista doesn't automatically connect, I always have to go to 'Diagnose and Repair' which has always worked and automatically turned on - up untill now!

Thanks...
