Can't enable HP Wireless Assistant

Greetings,

I have some serious problems with the wireless function on my HP Pavillion
DV6000 laptop. I have recently bought this laptop with a preinstalled
Windows Vista on it. The Wireless Assistant worked flawlessly under Vista.
Nevertheless I found that Vista worked too slow on my HP Pavillion, so I
deleted it and installed a Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2. I
also downloaded all WinXP drivers directly from www.hp.com. Now everything
work smoothly except the wireless connection which I can not make work at
all. No matter in which position - on or off - I turn the Wireless switch,
the indicator light remains red and I get the same message every time in the
pop up window at the bottom of the display:

"HP Wireless Assistant
WLAN: Disabled"

I have tried to fiddle with various settings in Windows without avail.
Anyone has any idea what can be wrong, and what shall I to do for getting it
work?

Thanks in advance for any advices,
Gyorgy

on downgrading the DV6000 to XP. Apparently, it's quite a challenge.
