    OK
    PM received , its your wi-fi card
    It sounds like a resource conflict
    Reset bios to default values
    Hit F2 while booting and you will see this option on the last tab

    Then after booting to windows look in device manager for issues

    john

    You will have to be quite detailed on what is not working ,or we will not be able to help

    I have no idea whats wrong at this point as I lack information from you

    Question , did you look in device manager to see if a wireless card is listed

    ok hear we go no the card is not listed in the device manager, one day it was working fine then nothing. if u take it out and reinsert some times it will show in the device manager but if u try to install the drivers it says driver could not start or device could nt start there is no wireless in the bios listed either. thats pretty much all the info

    thanks guys
