Wireless Connection Will not Connect

I cannot connect to my wireless network after reintsalling Vista on my
notebook. I hvae an HP dv6139us notebook. I can see the newtork and I can try
to connect but everytime I try to, it does not connect for an unknown reason.
I have a secure network and i put the correct passphrase in as all my other
computers connect with no problems. I have also dover a little deeper into
this and when you look and the nwetwork and sharing center and click view
full map, under the drop down menu there is an error message that states,
network adapter is not enabled. How do i enbale the adatper? As I have
checked this in the device manager and it shows that this is enabled. I am
totally confused and lost and about to pull my hair out. Has anyone else
experienced this and you did how do you fix this issue? Please help!
Frustrated in Florida!

That does not work. I have tried everything like I have stated in my first
post.

After you reinstalled Vista, did you then install all the drivers and
laptop-specific software from HP? If you didn't, that's your next step.

Yes I have installed all the drivers from HP. I have to also say that this
all started after a major power hit last Monday morning when I was at the
beach. When i got back, everything was back up and working except for my
notebook would not reconnect to my network. Do you think I might need to
reintall my network?

Power cycle your modem/router at home. Then go into your router's
configuration utility and see if it was reset to default. If it was, set it
up for your network again.

If that doesn't work, perhaps the issue is on your computer and not on your
network. It is quite difficult to tell from your posts; first you say you
reinstalled Vista and now you say there was a power hit. Which came first?

In any case, does your computer connect to anyone else's wireless network?
If yes and resetting your modem/router doesn't help, then probably you've
fried the wireless portion of the modem/router. If no, then probably you've
fried the wireless network adapter in your computer. In that case, contact
HP tech support for replacement.

Sorry for not being more specific. The power hit came first. That is when i
lost my network connect and could not reconnect to my network on my notebook.
I was going to reinstall Vista anyway. I can not connect to any network, not
even a non secure network as in my neighbors........this does sound like my
wireless network adapter is fried because I have powered cycled my
modem/router a couple of times and still no connection.
