Hi, you will need to reinstall the wireless card drivers, if this came with wireless as standard you should be able to download the drivers from the manufacturers support website, if it was added later on then it should have came with an install disc with the drivers on it.

Hope this helps

Windows XP Wireless Auto Configuration Windows XP Wireless Auto Configuration, enabled through the Wireless Zero Configuration service, provides a way to automate the configuration of the settings for wireless networks. When your wireless network adapter, whose driver supports Wireless Auto Configuration, scans for wireless networks, the names of the found wireless networks are passed to Wireless Auto Configuration. Windows XP maintains a list of preferred wireless networks. Windows XP tries to match a found wireless network to the preferred networks list in the order of preference. If a network name is found, Windows XP uses the settings of the wireless network to attempt a connection. If a network name is not found, Windows XP prompts you with a notification bar message, asking you whether or not you want to connect to one of the found wireless networks.
For home or small office wireless networks, you will use Wireless Auto Configuration to discover your wireless network, but because the default configuration for a wireless network is to use WEP and automatically determine the WEP key, you will have to manually configure the settings for your wireless network.


This is per Microsoft xp information!!!

I have a medion pc. I rebooted it a while ago and now it doesnt even have an option to connect to a wireless network. Please help.

Your missing the driver for the wireless connection object possibly. You can check this by going to devices not sure what Operating System your using XP or Win 7 You can find devices in the control panel go and check for anything wireless. Also not sure what you meant by rebooted the computer? I assume you redid the System again not sure if you did that or just rebooted the computer. Either way if there is no wireless connection coming up for you a driver is missing for sure. Also not sure if your using a USB Wireless Connector or a LAN R-45 cable or DSL or Cable. So my answer is going to be speculation only. If your using a wireless LAN card with antenna PCI then shut down the computer. Ground yourself and touch the case before touching anything inside. Then take the card out of the computer reboot then shut it down. Unplug and reverse the install place back in and restart it should find the card, if you have a disk for that card have it handy if not let hope Windows will pick it up if not you will have to get a driver for that card from another computer and download it then insert it into your computer to install the driver files for that card.
Second if your using a USB Wireless Stick provide the software for your Sick do no install the USB wireless device first install the software first then wait until it tells you to insert your device.
Obviously your not using a LAN connection R-45 cabling. So in short you will have to find the driver disc or go online elsewhere and download the card or device for your computer.
Another option is to go to control panel and look for wireless connections then look for place icon on task bar see if you have wireless at least showing.
I hope that this gives you some idea of what to do. ......John

After reinstalling my sound did not effect.

Re-Install the drivers from the system disk that came with your computer. If no disk, go to the website and download the drivers for your model computer.

SOUND CARD NOT FOUND BY WINDOWS

Go to the ThinkPad Website

Put in the information for your computer and search for an audio driver. It will be a free download. Follow all of the instructions that come with the driver.

I would provide a direct link to the driver, but you did not list the specific Type of Thinkpad R60 that you own. There are many types. Also it may matter if you have XP SP1 or SP2.
