Hello,
I have an HP dv9420ca laptop. I have it dual booting with both vista and xp. The problem I'm having is in xp. For some reason a balloon will pop up saying I have available wireless networks but when I click on it, it never shows any. I know there's about 9 available networks around because my roomate can pick up on them and when I switch over to vista I can too. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 7.0
