XP Lost ability to find a wireless network

the vendor had to replace my defective hard drive and it came with Broadband
(?) software to find network connections. Because I could see both Broadband
and XP finding wireless networks, I went to add/remove softward and deleted
the Broadband. Now it appears that XP is not finding any networks. I have
no xp wireless icon, or a Wireless Network Connection listed under Control
Panel/Network Connections. Did I just royally screw up and what can I do??
Thank you.

I'm guessing that the Broadband software shut off Wireless Zero
Configuration. Go to Start, Run and type in "services.msc" Then make sure
WZC is Started and set to Automatic.

Apparently we deleted the driver for our network card. Any idea how to
reinstall it. The "Found New Hardware" identifies it, but the Hardward
Wizard cannot find it.

Hi
Log to the Laptop's manufacturer support site. Look for the support of your
model.
In most case there are drivers available for download.
Do not forget to delete the Ghost before you install the new drivers,
