Looking for some computer help

[mail man]

I do not want to sound like I think your completely not getting it but lower left conner go to

start
connect to
wireless and or show all connections

is all that working?

I do appreciate you being frank, those are the things that are most often overlooked,but all that does work. When I search for a wireless signal, it tells me that there isn't one and that maybe my wireless switch is off.
I know that there is a signal, because4 I did this right next to someone in the coffee shop who was surfing on free wireless.
I then tried to turn the wireless on, but no reaction when I push the button.
