Protect Yourself From Tech Support Scams
Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers trick you into paying for unnecessary technical support services. You can help protect yourself from scammers by verifying that the contact is a Microsoft Agent or Microsoft Employee and that the phone number is an official Microsoft global customer service number.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I had installed the drivers after installing Win 7.
I downloaded and installed that driver (even thought the one that I had installed had newer version!) but still can't turn on the wireless on that laptop. It says, "Wireless capability is turned off".
Isn't there any way to turn it off!!!!?

Hi Sara,
Your comments are all valuable and in a high level of proficiency. I appreciate you.
First (even before coming here) I had read the user manual which was a .PDF file. I got that the Wifi will be turned on only on Win 8, apparently!
The drivers, especially the one related to the Wireless card, were all fine but I replaced them with better ones. Again no success.
About the services, I too tried it. Same message, "It's turned off, turn it on".
It seems that the wifi is for Win 8 on this laptop and to me it's so odd!
Thanks.
