Ok, I need some help here..
Well, when I try to connect to my wireless network, it says there are no available networks.
But, here is the problem. The reason it's doing this is because my wireless is disabled, but for some ing reason when I try hitting the wireless button in the corner to enable it, it doesn't work.
How do I re-enable it?
-
Try to reinstall driver for you wireless card
-
Your quicktouch buttons might be broken. Try enabling the wireless through windows.
If you have HP wireless assistant you can enable it from there too. -
How do I do that? When I click 'HP Wireless Assistant' in my Network and Sharing Center nothing happens.
The other quicktouch buttons work fine, it's just the wireless one that won't do anything. -
I really need to figure this out asap.
-
What's the full model number of your laptop? (it should say it on the bottom).
Once you figure that out,
go here: http://www.hp.com/#Support and click on: Download drivers and software (and firmware)
Fill in you're laptops full model number, then choose your operating system and download the driver for the wireless card. It'll be a file starting with the letters sp, and it'll have a bunch of numbers after it, for example: sp39174
Then
(I'm assuming you're using Vista), right click on my computer, and go to properties. Then on the left you will see Device Manager. Click on that and expand the Network Adapters. You'll see you're wireless card listed there, right click on it and go to properties, and in the Drivers tab click on uninstall.
Reboot your computer, and run the file you downloaded. -
I can't get the driver to uninstall.. when I go to uninstall it, it just keeps going through the uninstall screen. I let it sit for 30 minutes and it still didn't uninstall, I tried again and it did the same thing.
-
I would say try uninstalling the driver in safe mode. You should be able to do that by taping "F8" as the notebook is powering on. Then you should have the option for safe mode.
Ahh.. my Dv7t.
