O/T : Windows WIFI not connecting

[techlists at phpcoderusa.com]

Thanks for your reply!!

I have not tried Ethernet yet.  That would require me digging through my 
closet to find a long cable that might reach the other room or I might 
have to relocate the computer into my cluttered home office... Was 
hoping for some simple solution and if not I will connect via Ethernet.

I'm reading I might have a corrupt driver that will require 
Ethernet..... or maybe a thumb drive.  At that point I will want to go 
with Ethernet, which I think might make the fix easier.
