I installed a program and somehow lost the ability to access the
internet through my wireless router. I did a system restore from a day
before and the wireless drivers came back. But then the next day when
I started my computer they were gone again. Is there any way I can
make this change permanent? I've never dealt with this kind of problem
before.

I did delete the yesterday, but I still had to do the system restore
this morning, but now when I do the system restore the wifi drivers
are still gone. Is there any way to get them back?

just an update. I reinstalled my Linksys router on my computer so now
I can get online when I'm plugged into the router but If I disconnect
the wire I lose connection. I try to go into my connection tab on
internet option and it only gives me an option for Broadband and
Dialup but no wireless. How can that happen. when I click on help it
tells me to click on wireless if that's what I want but it's just no
there. How do I get that back?
