    Sometimes the software that comes with the drivers for a WiFi card, disable the windows built-in WiFi software in favor of their own application. Try looking in your start menu for anything that resembles WiFi connectivity software.

    Otherwise if you want to check / re-enable the built-in WiFi connection, are you running Windows 7 or Windows XP?

    Check and see if you turned off your wifi. The keys to toggle it on and off should be Fn + F3.
