I'm happy for you John, but I would not be human if I didn't have an excuse for not quite solving your problem

Firstly I broke my own cardinal rule that under no circumstances should I give a computer related advise unless I'm sighting the machine myself.

Secondly it was a situation like the one where Coolhand Luke used to say, "we have a failure to communicate".

While all you needed was to turn on the wi-fi functionality of your machine, your use of the word "wireless switch" led me on the wrong path completely.

In computer parlance, in my circles, the term "switch", unless prefaced like "power", denotes an external device that enables you to connect two or more computers together to share a common source like the Internet or a printer, this can be wired or wireless.

Whatever, your problem solved and my lesson learned, (again!)

Happy computing.
Cheers

This is the main thing i have learned about trouble shooting, start with the simple things and work towards the harder ones, most times you will get it in the first few tries, a lot of techies will go straight to the hard thing first and make the problem harder to solve.

Lomaca. you got it in one as far as failure to communicate, easy for me when it comes to computers.

I just thought that I'd let you know that the fault was all mine, but especially I don't want to close the door to your help n future!!!

We have only limited amount of control of determining our future , but ************ all of controlling the future of others.

I have found many times in Life , and on this Forum ,You can choose your friends , but you cannot choose your enemies.

Well done in solving your problem that appeared overwhelming at the time PartyPooper.
