wireless not working :( Options

[batman]

Don't tell me to google it. I tried googling, but unfortunately, I don't speak or really understand anything computer and don't really understand what I should do.

I have an HP Pavilion Tablet tx1000 and it's got a built-in wireless that you turn on by moving the little knob to the right. The light is orange when it's off and blue when it's on.

It was working earlier today when I was at the library, but then I went to class, and suddenly, the wireless just wouldn't turn on :(

So... I rebooted my computer and for the first time in my life, got a white screen for about four minutes after I got the "Welcome" screen. After the white screen, my desktop and everything was functional, but the wireless still wouldn't turn on.

My computer's telling me that there's something wrong with the network adapter and something about downloading drivers, but I'm sort of stupid when it comes to computers.

My friend who has the same exact computer told me that when her computer's wireless stopped working and she started getting the white screen, her computer started freaking out and she had to get it fixed.



What do I do? (give it to me in layman's terms, plz)

If I can't figure this out by tomorrow, I'll probably go to CUIT and tell them to look at it.
