As mentioned earlier, Wifi has already been turned on according to the Network and Sharing Center. Also, the Device Manager says that I already have the latest driver software installed on my computer for network connectivity. If someone could let me know how to fix this problem so that I can connect to my Wifi network that would be great.

Alan is correct. The most likely cause is that your system has WiFi turned off. It is called "airplane mode." There may be a physical switch somewhere on your PC. Most likely on a side. Some of them are pretty hard to see. On some it is turned off with a press of two keys in combination. It is not likely but possible that your WiFi is actually set to be disabled. Last possibility is that the WiFi itself in your PC has failed.
You can buy a USB device that is quite small and usually quite powerful for about $20.

The thing is I checked the Network and Sharing Center and it keeps saying that the Wifi is turned on. I also tested the switch you're talking about and it seemed to have no effect whatsoever unfortunately. That's really weird that this computer is set to have Wifi disabled since that must've been done by my lawyer's company remotely considering Wifi used to work on this device. But I will definitely look into getting one of those USB Wifi connectors so that I can connect to Wifi regularly.

If it is disabled:

- Right-click on your wireless adapter and choose enable
