    Hi Guy's

    For some reason my wifes laptop keeps loosing the wireless adapter. It's as if its not installed. It is not even in the device manager! I reinstalled the adapter drivers and then it was found and worked, but on next boot up it was lost again. I then uninstalled the HP wireless software and used the windows software. It worked for about a day and now the adapter is gone again.
    Any ideas as to how I can fix this.

    Cheers

    Please uninstall the wireless assistant program. I don't use it in my 18.

    Then from the HP download page, run the Intel PRO wireless driver package.

    Then where are we?
