    This is a tough one but I will take a shot. There is a possibility of something weird so I think your best bet is to get a new driver for your wireless card, go inot the device manager of the control panel and remove the device. Reboot and let Windows redetect the card and update the driver.

    i just tried uninstalling the network card and letting it pick up the drivers. worked like a charm. cheers Major Attitude for pointing me in the right direction.
