Where did my strength indicator go?
I've got a Latitidue x300. One day, for no reason I can tell, I stopped seeing the little display in my status bar that indicated the signal strength (and I believe had the ability to right-click and enable/disable).
I still have the Windows XP Wireless Network icon - it's the computer with the radiating green lines that is either filled in blue (data transmitting) or empty (no transmission).
But what is gone is the multi-bars (think of the cell phone signal strength indicator like Cingular/AT&T Wireless use) display; a piece of Dell software, I believe.
Network Card
Adapters Dell Wireless WLAN 1350 WLAN Mini-PCI Card - Packet Scheduler Miniport
I'm sure there's not enough info in this message; but I'm happy to check into whatever and offer more info. Thanks so much. Everything works fine, but it's a bit of functionality and info that I've lost and would like to get back!

There are workarounds; it's not a terrible problem, but it's frustrating when you've got something how you want it and it just stops on you. I don't like that and always try to get it back where I had it.
