All OK in Device Manager.
Belkin says the systray icon changes from red to blue when adapter is
working. It has changed to blue but still n ot working.

When I try to switch off the Belkin Wireless Configuration Utility it won't
let me as the button to save changes is greyed out.

Hi
Then switch off Windows Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) in order to check
if the Wireless is functional.

It is switched off.

Hi
At this point I would try another card.
That said, it is easy for me to do so coz I have spare cards.
If you can not borrow, or easily get another card, you can try to reinstall
Windows.
If reinstalling Windows does Not help it is the Card.

Do you mean in case the card is faulty? It's not because I have borrowed it
from my sons PC and when I put it back there it works.

I will need to buy a card for the PC but there's no point if its not going
to work.

Trevor

By a strange quirk I did have to re-install windows since originally finding
the card wouldn't work - simply because it stopped booting.

I think the PC may be too old and low spec for Xp if that could have any
bearin gon things?

I have a feeling this laptops heading for the bin.

Hi
If it is very old it might not work with 32bit cards and needs an old 16bit
card.
