Your wireless card work with XP Professional.

I would suggest installing the new Service Pack 2 for XP. It improves the wireless components and hopefully your issue would be fixed as well.

I have SP2 installed and still have the same problem. When I diable the card and the enable it, I get the baloon telling me that one or more wireless networks are found but when I click on the icon to see the connections they are not there. I went trough the advanced setting for the card and enabled/disabled every option. Still no success. What else can I do?

I suspect that your access point have some kind of encryption or authentication enabled.  So when you did install the new OS "XP Pro" you encryption configuration lost.  If you have xp sp2, you could easly do so by clicking on view wireless networks.  It will tell you if which one is secure and which one is not. 

If this is the case simply get the security information from your sys admin.

I still have trouble with my 1350 card. I installed the latest drivers (3.40.73.0)and the proteries of the card tell me that it is working fine. I don't even get to see the available network although I switched off "let window manage your wireless config..." and enabled "let dell manage your network connection" or something like that. I think the wireless zero configuration in XP might be the problem. When I look up the configuration in the command prompt I get the following:

>sc query wzcsvc
SERVICE_NAME: wzcsvc
TYPE: 20 WIN_32_SHARE_PROCESS
STATE: 1 STOPPED
(NOT_STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE: 0 (0x0)
SERIVE_EXIT_CODE: 0 (0x0)
CHEKPOINT: 0x0
WAIT_HINT: 0x0

Can somebody tell me whether this indicates a conflict with the dell wireless card? Another USB wireless adapter works fine but also there I cannot see the utility's software and get the message that XP Zero config controls the wireless settings. I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!!!

Thanks John for the new driver (3.70.17.0), however, it didn't solve the problem. Now I can't even open the utility window for the dell card. It says the driver is not compatible. The little symbol for the radio in the task bar is gone. Is it an issue with the XP zero config which tries to control everything? Is there a way to modify the zero config? Thanks for any suggestions.
