`can it detect any other wireless networks?

are you using the microsoft wireless network utility or the one provided by the manufacturer...

both will not work at the same time, try using the manufacturer one, there should be an icon beside the clock in the start bar at the bottom of the screen

Right click on the "My computer" icon. Go to Manage, Device Manager on the left, then network devices on the right. How many are there and what are they called?

Maybe your wireless router isn't broadcasting an SSID...
Try adding a profile to your network management software and put the network name in there. It will connect then.
That is if your wireless card is functioning properly. maybe the connection is loose or something.
