Urgent Internet help needed. "Wireless Network Connection Adapter is Disabled"?

Ok so i made a very big mistake earlier and accidentally deleted my Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN. But i found the driver online and re-installed it. I thought this would be the end of the problem but no, Now it's constantly telling me that the wireless network connection adapter is disabled. I have gone into my network connections and clicked to enable it, but it remains disabled. Also, none of the local wireless connections in my area appear.

I have tried all that i can think of even system restore and restarting, but the truth is i have no idea what to do. Please help.

PS- i am operating on Windows 7 64 bit, on a HP G61-415SA

Update:

HELLO, i already did that, it's one of the 1st things i said.

Update 2:

there's no exclamation points on anything

Update 3:

i did that and it said it enabled but remained disabled. I mentioned all this already.

    Try to re-install the driver or even update the driver worked for me when it happened to me.

    Is there a button on ur Laptop to Switch Wifi Off? i know HPs got that, its probably that. If you dont have that button, then you must have something like FN key + ___something (among the F-keys)

    That should do it.

    Check Device manager

    start>control panel>system>device manager

    If you have any yellow exclamation points, that's where you start looking
