Weak internet signal, related to O/S?

I have a problem with a desktop PC.
The wireless and router works perfectly OK with laptops, ipods and iphones around the house. The desktop, via a netwok adaptor, picks up wireless, but it's so weak as to be unusable.
The problem seems to be one of signal strength for the desktop (the PC, with a Belkin network adaptor, only picks up the signal when in close proximity to the router - a few feet), but this problem only arose after a re-install of Windows.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue after a re-install?
I have tried all the recommended things........changing the channel on the router, reinstalling the network adaptor drivers, a new network adaptor...
But the nagging thing seems to me to be the fact the problems only started after an O/S re-install....
Please help!!!!

"Should read Ariel on a lead"
Should read Aerial on a lead, unless using washing powder! ;)

Ah, now you're talking - my Dad had one with a 'chair' for the family.
