do you share the pc ?

did you install anything before the problem ?

keyboards dont really just fail normally it is after the spilling of liquids on it of which if you are sharing the other person wouldnt tell you

simple go to compaq website and download the wireless driver for windows 7

compaq use same driver with hp so you can get from hp

PLEASE WHAT CAN I DO.
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by samolina1(m): 1:25pm On Jan 24, 2011
@dfash. I think you should explain further about what really happen to it & what it shows when you ON it. But based on what you have said, i suspect the system BIOS have been tampered with, just go to the BIOS or SETUP & restore default. You can find the SETUP page by pressing the you will be asked to press when you ON the system, it's either F9 or F12.

is the driver meant your model and OS ?
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by samolina1(m): 5:56pm On Jan 24, 2011
@tunddy. How do you know that it's not working in the first place? 'cos how can you install a driver for an hardware and it's not working! May be your wireless adapter had been removed or you have turned it OFF from BIOS. Try and restore your BIOS default configuration. G luck.
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by tunddy(m): 6:09pm On Jan 24, 2011
@samolina1,i've checked it and it's not active, actually when i was on xp it works, what can now be the cause now that i'm running on window 7.
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by tunddy(m): 6:13pm On Jan 24, 2011
@ZIM DRILL i think it meets the operating system and the system, because it doesn't show me a missing driver or what ever.

.0what you want to do is to go to device manager and uninstall the driver you got and go back to the hp site and download the windows vista driver for the wirless card in that computer. Vista is closer to win 7 than xp so swap the xp driver for vista and see if that works.

logically simple though most phone i know dont broadcast but only recieve broadcast of networks

your phone should broadcast its wireless then your laptop will pick up the network

just like a wireless router it broadcast and wireless enabled devices pick up the network

most people do it through cables  eg blackberry desktop manager or windows media centre device though  it depends with the make of the phone

i did a swap of HDD on my two laptops they booted fine but the VGA and few drivers had to be installed for it to work fine

i think the swap corrupted and deleted some booting file

did you try to boot from CD/DVD?
