Default Wireless Not Working!

Hey people.

I recently installed XP on my Laptop. It was a COMPLETE fresh install.

I have this WLAN card: Ralink RT73 Wireless Controller

I have downloaded the drivers for this from the PAKARD BELL website, but I cant seem to find any way of setting up my wireless.

Thanks.

Hi, did you install a Service Pack 2 version of Windows XP or (if you didn't) did you run a FULL Windows update after you installed XP?

Hey.

I have got SP2, but I havent run a FULL update yet.

Should this solve the problem?

It may not solve the issue but we will at least be at a good place to start when you are fully updated

Ok.

I am now fully updated, and I have seen no change on the front of wireless connectivity.

Cheers.
