Your wireless connection is it a External Dongle or a Internal Card.

It should be under warrantee so you shouldnt have to pay if its a Hardware problem.

You need to uninstall the drivers and reinstall them.

I could have a look at is but drop me a pm.

Yup, uninstall the drivers and manually install whatever the latest driver is from the manufacturer's website. Download them using a different machine and stick them on an external drive for the installation.

Resolved this.

In the end it was AGV Firewall blocking everything, in the end it was uninsulated and access came back.

The Generic reply from windows Driver problem can be a red herring.
