I’m using XP on a Presario CQ50.
My computer recognized the wireless network card but it could not connect to the wireless network. I tried to change some of the network properties and restarted the computer.
Now I can’t open the network properties at all. I click the menu icon and I get the clock cursor for a few seconds… then nothing. I tried both with or without the network card in the slot with the same result.
Is there another way to change the network settings, or reset it to default?
