airport won't turn on

I have just recently not been able to turn on my airport wireless control. After clicking on the airport icon, "turn airport on" nothing happens. I have a small amount of my machine partitioned for XP. The XP side's wireless works just fine, but I can't seem to get the Mac side to work.

Any help?

I have tried this, doesn't work. I have tried removing battery, does not work. Also If I restart my computer I have keep starting it over and over for it to come on. I just bought my mac and things were fine 'til I started doing the updates, not sure what updates were done to make it not work properly.

My Mac: MacBook Pro 2.4 intel Core 2 Duo 2GB OSX 10.5.7

thanks much for any help

I am having difficulty connecting to my schools network (Miami) I can connect in Oxford and as of last week I could connect at the branch campuses but today for some reason it kept trying to connect and even asked me for my password and in network said it was connected but safari wouldn't connect to the internet...tried the Parameter RAM reset but all that did was bring back the apple upon booting up (previously it was the black screen showing all the processes) I also tried the battery but it didn't work then i created a new location and that allowed airport to turn on so that made me think that airport was broken maybe a configuration issue? IDK! any help would be appreciated i have to read a book i can only access on campus

This issue could be resolved by going to system preferences clicking network, and up next to where it says location click on the box, then click edit locations, click the + and type a name for a new location which could be anything then click done. then go back in and click on the name you just typed, and click on apply at the bottom of the screen then it should work
