Wi-Fi set up Problem!!

Hi, i recently reformatted my hard drive and changed from vista to xp. I got my internet set-up in minutes and my wireless was straightforward too. After logging out and logging back in, my user account password wouldnt work.. so I remembered about a bypass windows password cd i used before.. only this time I could'nt find it. I thougt that the easiest thing to do then would be to reinstall windows AGAIN.. So after reinstalling XP for the 2nd time, i plugged in my ethernet cable and got on the internet, but i cant setup wireless. There is no option to setup wireless, and i cant fully remember how I set it up so quickly the first time. Im confused because there is nowhere to go to see all wireless connections within range - if there was then I could just choose my SSID and put in my network key and I'd be set!. Please has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

please reply... this is really annoying it took less than 5 minutes the first time to set up wireless.. now i cant set it up at all because theres no option to??!?!?!?

wow this fucking forum sucks ass
