'Wireless capability is turned off'

Question

Hi,

I'm running Windows 7 on my laptop and have recently had troubles connecting to Wi-Fi. The problem found is 'Wireless capability is turned off'. I've checked the adapter is enabled, rebooted, re-installed the driver, tried installing a new driver (compatable with windows 7) and have tried a system restore but still having no luck and getting the same error. 

Any more ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

I've checked each thread and followed all troubleshooting steps that i hadnt already i.e. more power saving options. The thread below is the exact problem I'm having but the solution has not resolved mine (installing Lenovo energy management software and after installing hit Fn+F7)
