Laptop won't work on wireless connection

When you say nothing shows up , are you talking about the internet ? More info there.

Try some generic things first. Go to the bottom right corner where the icons are. Right click on your wireless icon , and then choose repair. See if that helps.

Also, check the status of your firewalls to see if that is what is keeping you from connecting. I won't tell anyone to disable their firewalls, but windows firewall gave me such headaches, I switched to the free one from Zonelabs and it works nicely and is much more intuitive.

Write back if that doesn't seem to help and we'll go from there.
