configure your wireless card, or a control program that came with the card?

everything OK but when my Intel Pro Wireless card loads up and I try to click on a wireless network the mouse pointer goes "under" the box on the screen. When I do try to fix it I am told that a WMI file might be corrupted and to do a system restore. The problem is, I don't have a restore point as I just reloaded it. I am using windows to configure it. Show quoteHide quote "David Hettel" wrote: > More info would be helpful. What os are you using?

things, it sounds as if you don't have all the default drivers loaded, what are you trying to reload from?
