Wireless not working

I am using a windows Vista 32 bit home premium notebook computer for
which the wireless network detection has stopped working.

I updated the driver for the built in wireless card with out any
results.
I also tried a plug in wireless card which windows detected and said
was working properly and this did not work either. This leaves me to
believe that something is wrong with the OS.

I can get on the internet via dialup modem and also by the ethernet
connection with a DSL modem.

I have been to several hotspots that I know have wifi and no networks
show up.

All critical windows updates have been installed.

Any ideas, this is not my computer so I do not have much history on
it. Thanks

You sure that laptop doesn't have an external switch to disable the
wireless? My laptop has that external switch to turn the wireless on or
off.

What part of the following did you find hard to understand?

"I also tried a plug in wireless card which windows detected and said
was working properly and this did not work either."

I suggest that you mind your own business. Do you understand that?

I think he was right. You missed a critical point in the original
post.

Also idiot, how can the settings between two cards be incorrect? I have
a wireless internal card on this laptop I use to connect to the wireless
at work. I also have a Cricket wireless USB card I use on the same
machine to connect to Cricket's wireless for my personal use, which both
having different drivers.
