Acer Aspire AS6530-6522 running Vista Home Premium 32 bit
Suddenly this morning the laptop could not make a connection to my wireless network and can therefore not access the internet. I'm using my other wirelessly connected laptop right now, so obviously it can't be due to problems with my wireless router or DSL connection. Shutting down the machine and restarting is not fixing the problem. Am I forced to reinstall the OS? I can restore from the original restore CDs I created (Vista HP), or I can install Windows 7 (I have the install disk), however I'm hesitant to do that because I'd have to do a lot of updates, find and install programs and utilities so I have functionality, such as CD writing software, etc. etc. I was planning to install Windows 7 eventually, but don't want to have to do it right now.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
