Gerry,

I followed these instructions explicitly.

The Wireless adaptor may be faulty. It cannot connect to any wireless
networks any more. I shows 100% signal strength, but when I try to connect
I get an error indicating low signal-strength. I know the problem is with
this PC because a PC sitting next to this one can connect with no problem.

Cheers,
Bill
