In your post you say "the NIC is dead" "the NIC start" etc.
without stating exactly how you came to these conclusions.

The usual way to detect the condition of a network adapter is
to open its status panel via the Control Panel / Networks.

Another way is to start a Command Prompt, then to type

ipconfig /all

If you still believe that your wireless adapter is dead while
logged on as an ordinary user then I suggest you do the
following:

- Click start / run / cmd {OK} to start a Command Prompt.
- Type ipconfig /all > c:\ipconfig.txt {Enter}
- notepad c:\ipconfig.txt

Now paste the contents of ipconfig.txt into your reply.
