Hi, i just reformat my laptop and installed a XP Pro, the thing now is that i
cannot get my wireless internet working. I have try to install a "Intel(Pro)
2200BG" into the laptop, but it only support WEP password protection, whereas
i am using a WAP. Where can i find the original Wireless program? can anyone
help me?

Go to the laptop mftr.'s website and download the wireless drivers for
your specific model laptop. Or possibly you received a cd with drivers
when you purchased the laptop.

And during the install, select "Let Windows manage the Wireless...."  This
should "activate" the Windows Wireless Zero Configuration service.
