hey guys i just bought my first pc build from OcUK;

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-079-OE&groupid=43&catid=1270&subcat=

with windows 7 ultimate

now im quite a noob when it comes to PC's, and ive never used win7 and it tells me that Windows Wireless is not running... :s

so it will not pick up any wireless networks in range and i am not sure how to get around this?

can anyone help? thanks

does it have a wireless card in it then? i can't see anything in that link that says it does

as DJDaz said, your PC does not come with a wirless expansion card, and the motherboard has no onboard wireless either. Would recommend heading over to the networking forum here and asking advice about what to buy, your options would be either an internal wireless expansion card or an external device that plugs into your pc via usb.
