wireless is not currently enabled

ikartik90 · Dec 17, 2010

(I've also posted the same issue under a thread in Windows 7 section in case you are confused among conflicting versions of the same thread)
Hello there. I've a HP Pavillion tx2000 series tablet PC with Windows 7 installed on it. The basic problem with it is that it's wireless connection got disrupted overnight. It was working last night but is not working now. I tried to check if the problem is with my wireless router, but it is yet working done with my iPod. Nor is the problem with the wireless enabling button (slider) on my tablet as on toggling it between on and off, the color of the indicator switches between blue and orange respectively. Also the sound that indicates the wireless enabled or disabled could be heard. Yet, the system shows no symptom of detecting wireless devices. The icon on the quick launch panel has changed from the "towers" to the "Ethernet" connection icon. The network and sharing center, when setting up a new connection, never asks me if I want to establish a wireless connection. And, worst of all- When I open the manage wireless devices window it displays a message on top saying "wireless is not currently enabled." If anyone has had such problems or has any idea of how to resolve it, please respond to this thread asap. Thanks a lot. Cheers.

PS: I have an Nvidia NForce network card (wireless adapter driver) installed on my laptop and have also checked updating it.

Hi ikartik90,

Is there an On/Off wireless switch from your Tablet? Have you tried the combination of Fn key + either an F1 or F2 to connect?

Any 3rd party software wireless manager installed?

Do you have any Security/Firewall Software installed?

I've tried switching the wireless key both ways. It's not working yet.
No third party wireless manager or security software installed.

Do you have any Security Software installed? Norton, McAfee or similar?

Remove all wireless profiles stored in his computer and re-connect to your wireless network, make sure that you have the correct encryption needed if your wireless is secured. Here's a complete guide.

Still an issue? Please provide an ipconfig /all:
Click on Start => in run or search box type cmd press enter (run as Admin). From the black screen, type the word ipconfig /all and press enter. Right click on the black screen or Command prompt then choose Select All and Paste the results here.

The point is that my device manager is not at all showing up the wireless driver. It is showing the Bluetooth driver but the wireless driver is not at all visible. Any solution? I'm also not able to find the wireless driver for my HP Pavillion tx2000 that has Windows 7 installed on it.
