Wireless Icon Gone!!!!(only on laptop)
One day I got on my laptop to look up something for "Fable 2" when it wouldn't connect. When I looked in the icon tray the wireless icon wasn't there anymore. I accessed my router panel(a.k.a. 192.168.1.99, which is default) and turned on "Wireless Broadcasting" and it allowed me internet access but the icon is still gone and in the "Control Panel" it says in "Network Connections" that "Wireless Connections 13" is "Limited or No Connectivity". Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

Re: Wireless Icon Gone!!!!(only on laptop)
Go to Wireless Network Connection properties and make sure 'Show icon in notification area when connected' is checked. Also make sure 'Notify me when this connection has limited or no connectivity' is checked.
If that does not help, try to uninstall the wireless drivers in Device Manager. Also uninstall any related programs in ADD/REMOVE. Download the a new updated driver from laptop maker's website and install.
