Go to Device Manager and select your wifi card. One of the tabs or buttons here is to turn the card on.
You could have a hardware conflict which you would also have to resolve in Device manager.

Im in Device manager but I still cant figure it out...
Here are the options under Netowrk Adapters
1394 Net Adapter (Enabled)
Broadcom 440x 10/100 Intergrated Controller (disbaled)
IEEE 802.11g Network Adapter (Enabled)
Plz help...

I got more info to help...

Hi,
When I got the same error message and searched on internet then I found you having the same issue.. This applies to notebook with integrated wireless adapter..
By "hardware radio control switch"--> it means that there is one of the function keys (for example F2 in case of compaq notebook), which is designed to physically enable/disable your wireless adapter. Find that function key for your notebook and press "Fn" Key + that function key togther.. you should see the light comming on to the wireless indicator.
