Missing wireless control tab

[Robert]

In the beginning when I selected "Windows network connections properties " I
had a tab which said " Wireless networks" it has disappeared somehow. I have
installed all the available Win XP upgrades and do not know if this is the
cause.

Here's what I do

From Control Panel, I click the Network and Internet Connections icon.

From Network and Internet Connections, I click the Network Connections icon.

From Network Connections, I double-click the Wireless Network Connection
option. The Wireless Network Connection Status window opens.

From the General tab, I click the Properties button. The Windows® XP
Wireless Network Connection Properties window opens.

The tabs that appear are "General" and "Advanced" no "Wireless Connections "
tab appears.

All my Wireless connections are working properly and in the "Network
Connections" window I show my active "Wireless Connection" to my Netgear
AP/router.

Any ideas why this tab had disappeared?

Thanks all

Frank

Thanks that was the cure. Example was what happened on my machine.
