I'm having a few troubles with my wireless network icon not appearing in the taskbar and when I go onto the Connect To tab in the Start menu, wireless connection is not even there. I don't remember deleting anything or activating anything that would cause this.

Just wondering whether anyone else has this problem and how I can fix it?

Thanks!

If this is a new problem you might try a System Restore to a point prior to the problem:

start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

It's not new, I noticed it a couple of months ago and thought nothing of it seeing as though I'm still connected. But I thought earlier, how would I connect to other wireless networks and it's also plain annoying me now. Not knowing whether I'm connected or not.

What is the make and model of the computer?

Acer Aspire 3692WLMi - laptop.

SP2 or SP3?

Do you have any Norton software installed?

I have Norton Internet Security 2008 installed, don't know about the SP.

right click My Computer then click Properties

Your XP version will be shown there.

I have Googled this issue and many with the same problem blame Norton.

Do you want to consider removing it?

I recommend not using Norton software but of course it is up to you.

Service Pack 2.

I'd rather not, I've had Norton a few years now and not caused any problems except this minor one.
Is there any other way of solving it?

SP3 was released about a month ago. You will find it in Windows Update if you want it.

I saw a few instances with registry values that Norton apparently "corrupted". I will try to find these again although I may not get to it till later tonight.
