    Over the past couple of days my wireless light has just turned off on it's own. It will come back on within 30 seconds or so. Also a couple of times the 'volume, bass, and treble' window would popup for no reason. I am running Windows 7 ultimate btw. I am wondering if this is some kind of driver problem (because that HP driver is quite old) or if it is a hardware issue? Help

    EDIT: It just did it again and this time it didn't start back up. I had to manually press the wireless light.

    Can anyone help with this? I uninstalled the SmartMenu software thinking that was the problem but it did it again. Also, I think whatever is turning off the wireless is also stopping my touchpad scrolling from working?
