Evidently there are more issues with your laptop besides trying to connect to the internet via DSL. The only other suggestion is try running the Verizon DSL installation CD that came with your initial DSL installation for the PC. If you didn’t get one or can’t find it, call Verizion for assistance. As far as your “Device Manager” not displaying any devices, you may have to get your laptop’s operating system reinstalled or use FixYa’s Repair Directory to locate a repair shop in you locale. Without the “Device Manager” program, I am unable to suggest any other solutions.

Cant acess the internet after formatting it

Go to "Device Manager" {Start, Settings, Control Panel, System, Device Manager (Tab) Or, right-click My Computer, click Properties, Device Manager (Tab)} Is a modem showing? If not, are there any colored ! ? X marks? If any of these marks. Tell what they are by, thanks. If they're saying there is a problem with drivers. Could try updating, with the "device drivers" CD in the drive. Or how ever dell says to. Open "Internet Options", Connections (Tab). With your connection you setup highlighted. Click the settings (button), then the properties (button) Now, under the "Connect using:" What is listed? If blank, click the down arrow beside the box. Is this also blank, or a modem listed? If one is listed, select it.

Hi,

Cause 1 If this error occurs while using the application loader tool to install BlackBerry Device Software, existing applications on the BlackBerry smartphone are erased, and new applications are not loaded.
You need to complete the following steps:
  1. Verify that you have the BlackBerry Device Software installed on your computer. Before you use Application Loader to install software on your BlackBerry wireless device, verify that the necessary device software is installed on your personal computer.
    To verify what device software is installed on your computer
    1. In Desktop Manager, click Help>About Desktop Manager.
    2. Click the Device Software tab.
    The Device Software tab lists the device system software installed on your computer. If the tab is blank, then no device software exists.
  2. If your BlackBerry smartphone is connected to a laptop computer in a docking station, disconnect the laptop computer from the docking station and connect the BlackBerry smartphone directly to the laptop computer.
  3. If a third-party program, such as a virus scanner, is using the same communications port (COM port) as BlackBerry® Desktop Manager, close the third-party program to free the COM port for use.
  4. If you are using a USB adapter to connect your BlackBerry smartphone to a serial port on your computer, temporarily connect your BlackBerry smartphone to a computer with a USB port.

  2. In the Control Panel, double-click the System icon. The System Properties window opens.
  3. Click the Hardware tab of the System Properties, and click Device Manager.
  4. In the Device Manager, double-click Universal Serial Bus Controllers.

My Wireless connection status page is blank. Same with the wireless connection properties page and the "view available networks page"(or wireless network connection page) can't open, all it has is the top...

The AWL number was what I was looking for, thanx.
If the AirLink utility is running, there is where you would check the status. The way to set it so that the connection shows in the 'network connections '
Go into your Control Panel, then go into Network Connections
Right click on your AirLink wireless adapter and click “Properties”
Click on the “Wireless Networks” tab
Put a check in the box next to “Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings”
Click “OK”

If you wish to go back to using the AirLink101 802.11g Cardbus Utility, go back into the “Wireless Networks” tab in your AirLink adapter’s properties and remove the check mark next to “Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings”
