There's an icon that keeps flashing on my taskbar and before I click on it, it disappears I don't actually know what it is, I tried to screen capture it but it wasn't clear enough tho*

Any Ideas.

It flashes like every 30 seconds. ..
Oh!!
it just flashed again.

Dear yIkEsDuDe,

I was pleased to read the above description, in that it start the machine make,model and operating system type.
This enables technician to narrow down the problem and come to a solution. however, it is important the a user like
yourself ensure that the diagnostics are carried as instructed.

How did you activate the wireless, for example fn+f8 or a wireless switch ?

Use google to research how to get to device manager and
look for network adapter, click the +sign and tell me what's
underneath. Have you ever connect wireless ? if yes, please
use google to research system restore and select a date when the
internet works and restore it.

This laptop came with Windows Vista® Business, isn't it ?

Would you open my computer through the start menu and
click system properties, is version of windows activated ?

Can the wireless turn on and off, please verify this.

Do you have Hp wireless assistant installed ?

furthermore, restart the laptop for me and keep pressing
f10 for bios and L@@k at the main section, what is the
bios version, for example Version: F.20(8 Dec 2011)


On the other hand Hp (2014) argued that you could

"Disable wireless device power management options
Most wireless devices can be configured to turn off power to reduce the power drain on the battery. This is usually not a problem when the notebook is connected to an AC power adapter. However, when operating on battery power, the adapter can be turned off to save power. To disable this power setting, do the following steps.

Click Start , enter device into the search field, and then select Device Manager from the list.
Double-click Network Adapters to expand the list, right-click on the wireless (WiFi) adapter in the list, and then select Properties.
On the properties window for the adapter, select the Power Management tab, and then de-select the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option.
Close the Device Manager, restart the notebook PC, and attempt to reconnect to the wireless network"

Dear Deji2009,

I am so happy you responded, thanks so much. I'll try to respond to all your comments and questions in the same order you made them to the best of my ability.

I use the wireless switch and not the fn+f8 option and the colour changes from orange to blue accordingly everytime I touch it. But I'm always prompted to turn it on using the switch everytime I do a diagnostic and ofcourse the switch is on blue when system starts up!

In device manager, under network adapters there are:
*Bluetooth Device(Personal Area Network)
*Bluetooth Device(RFCOMM Protocol TDI)
*Broadcom Netlink(TM) Gigabit Ethernet
*Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN

Yes I have always used the wireless to connect before this issue.

I have done system restore 2ce now and no change still.

Yes my laptop came with windows vista but I changed it to windows 7 ultimate a long time ago

version of windows is activated

No, I dont have wireless assistant installed

BIOS version; I'm not quite sure but I saw stuffs like 1.0.15.0
Date: 07/04/2008
ROM revision: 68PDD version F.05

I have deselected the "allow the computer to turn off device to save power" but the problem persist even after restart.

I hope these helps, thanks again.

The app might be from all these anti-virus scanners or a registry app. once it shows in your task bar just move the mouse pointer to where it is and the place it on the icon and right click on it i'm sure it will display things like " settings" and and "exit" button.

deji2009:



Visit hp website and search for
Your laptop model. Please select windows
7 ultimate or professional, it depends on
Your version. Please check carefully.
Then download wireless drivers that is up to date

Are you in Nigeria and is the WiFi strength red on the desktop.

yIkEsDuDe:


Thanks, yes I'm in Nigeria. The wifi strength symbol is crossed out with a red X.
I downloaded and installed a broadcom driver from hp website earlier, it didn't help. Perhaps I didn't get it right, what precisely am I suppose to download and install? Is it the broadcom stuff or the intel(R) wifi link thing?
Thanks.

help I change my hp15 laptop ram from 2gig to 4gig but it always write 1.90gig usable there instead of 3.90gig and games are extremely slow on it
2)my CD ROM does not eject anymore but it still working Wat can I do about it and like how much will be needed to fix it thanks

cupidhero:

just use the above method. the "ctrl+shift+esc" and check every running app in your system. you can also go to task bar notification settings and see if you can know the name of the app. You can also type "uninstall programs" on your start menu and click on it then locate this strange app logo and see the publisher. if the publisher is microsoft don't uninstall it but if it is a third party app you can consider uninstalling it. why are you worried about this app sef?

Wisegeek01:


Ohk I just did all this "the apps still flashing me tho. ..

So why am I worried?
Apart from the app shutting down all open windows when ever it does flash, it just started 2days ago, I just need to knw what must be causing it, is it an error malware(of which I've got the latest updated antivirus) or is this stuff taking pictures of stuff on my screen and sending it to someone* Dunno

Anyway thanks again for your help*

Please click start, computer and system properties. Look down for windows 7 ultimate or professional. Google the laptop make model number and put drivers at the end and download the precise driver's, e.g Intel wireless. Test the wireless. If no joy go back to the website and download hp wireless assistant install and it and restart your machine then try again. Can other devices connect to the network



Do you have a wireless usb modem such as mtn wireless router


You may have to uninstall the previous version through device manager. You know how to get device manager.
