You cannot use the Dell utility with an Intel card. It will only work with a Dell card. Uninstall it. Either switch to the windows utility or use the Intel one that you are probably using now. You did say the Intel card works fine.
Ok, what if you are using a Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card and you get the same message: "THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO WIRELESS ADAPTERS AVAILABLE AND ENABLED. PLEASE ENABLE ANY WIRELESS ADAPTERS BEFORE ACCESSING THIS CONFIGURATION UTILITY."?
Dell Studio 1735, Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2, installed latest driver/software R206848 for the wireless adapter, adapter works fine otherwise.
The Studio™ 1737 system ships with a wireless feature called the wireless switch. It is located on the left side of the system. When used in combination with the Dell™ QuickSet utilities, this switch enables or disables the wireless LAN, wireless WAN, and Bluetooth® cards in the system or searches for all wireless networks in range.

Press the WI-FI Catcher Network Locator button for a few seconds to scan specifically for wireless networks in your vicinity. The Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator has a light that operates as follows:
Flashing white: Searching for networks
Solid white for 10 seconds and then turns off: Network found
Off (flashing white turns off after 10 blinks): No signal found
