The above diagnostics provided by denzel should resolve the problem. The troubleshooting wizards isn't that accurate

and would not rely on it. If the adaptor is having problems it will not detect available wireless networks ,

What model is the Compaq for example, Compaq presario CQ60/61. Have you installed any update

Do you have norton security installed ? when was the last it works ok. switch off your router modem for 5 minutes

click start and type in network and sharing centre where is the green line coming from.

on the left click manage wireless networks and remove all the networks on the list nothing left

Click start type in devmgmt.msc click continue click network adaptors and right click on your wireless adaptor

then uninstall restart your laptop and router modem then try connecting to your network have your network password ready if any

Alternatively  We can provide remote assistance as our connection is more faster.

If you have yahoo messenger and online now through the cable connection

we can make a start as free now


Let us know then we provide you with one where I will see your screen and attempt to fix the problems



We provide a local laptop repairs and would like a comment on your experience today

If have been of any help in one way or the other please comment on facebook by

searching for dejisunday

I gave the diagnostics provided by Denzel a shot and still nothing. Would'nt mind trying your remote assisstance. I have yahoo messanger and I can come online. My laptop model is Compaq 610.
n Thnx Denzel

There is no a single solution for recycler warm yet as I can remember( the least you can do is to quarantine it). The best solution has been to save all your important files to a CD( cos the virus can not be transfer through that process) and do a new installation.

You didn't specify your System make and OS - Simple reason I don't like to help with appropriate solutions.

I think you are running OS other than the one specified for your system. Look for the drivers compatible with your system make by going to their website. Anyway, make sure you run the Chipset first before installing appropriate drivers.

I hope this help!

first of all whats your reason for drivers update ? is it not working fine with the old version ?

which service pack and which OS most of the time it gives you error and that error code is the one you use to find a solution at microsoft website

tell us what you claim you tried all

always first download the drivers you want before doing a clean installation

or either the LAN OR WIRELESS DRIVER with that you will be able to go on the internet and download the rest

go to manufacturer website you will find all drivers for your model mostly likely all drivers for xp, vista and 7

It came with Vista, upgraded it to 7 a couple years back and everything was fine till it crashed. I used a recovery CD to reinstall the OS and got the drivers from Compaq website.

A while back i noticed the webcam had stopped functioning and the error code i posted is related to the webcam, i've checked the compaq website but there's nothing related to it.

As for the service pack, it's SP1. .it installs succesfully. .after updating, reboots the laptop. .then when it starts configuring the SP, it says it can't be configured, i'll try to find a screenshot online since its impossible to get one as it boots.

The drivers you probably got from Compaq didn't work out? Go to the compaq website again, and see if you can see the version for Xp or windows 7. Then you do a manual update of the driver from the folder where you extract the driver files to. If this does not work, then you will need to find another camera device that the drivers is compatible with yours.

Eh, have you tried RoboSAM yet? I should be able to remove it comfortably under admin permissions.

sad sad sad. Hello, just stumbled on this thread after 3 weeks of sleepless night researching on the internet on how to reinstall my Win xp with a faulty cd rom. What i have done so far, i read about usb booting, my toshiba m45 does not support usb booting, so i read about plop boot manager to make it become usb bootable. Thank God plop boot manager supports installation via floppy apart from cd rom, so i ordered a toshiba usb floppy disk drive on ebay, downloaded plop boot manager on floppy diskette and use it to fire up my system, but first setting my bios to boot from FDD, plop boot manager works magic as my toshiba was able to recognize usb bootable flash drive, unfortunately Win xp professional set up keeps getting stuck when copying files from my usb, i have inter-changed the RAMs and still cant successfully copy all files without getting stuck in 16%, 24%, 54% (i need expert advice on this first as usb booting woud be great and time saving and can serve my PC in the future without stress, i found a method explained on google of taking out laptop HDD to another desktop, although that seems equipment demanding and special computer skills) If i have to fly with the second option, can i use usb 2.0 sata ide adapter to mount my laptop HDD on the desktop or do i really need to make a physical connection. I tried maybe not so wise way before, by using the usb sata ide adapter to mount the laptop SATA HDD on the desktop, the desktop recognizes the laptop HDD like a flash drive would work when put in a system for the first time, i was able to get into the HDD and see the content. I rebooted the desktop with win xp in the cd rom, it showed my laptop HDD and when i try to install xp directly into it, it get stuck with a message of desktop motherboard compatibility and i need a motherboard manufacturer software or something, to cut my story short, help me deal with first option of usb booting and make clearer the second option of any possibility of using usb 2.0 sata ide adapter, if thats gonna work. I make an SOS call on this adorable toshiba laptop before i make a decision to garbage it in 1 week. FYI: i am usling a demo version of flashboot to make my Ufb flash drive become bootable by copying win xp iso image on the pen drive usling flashboot. I urgently need this PC to work. any help guys

What RAMS did you interchange and are you certain the RAM works? Have you tried other XP iso images with the flashboot? Next time please go straight to the point as many don't have the patience to read so much in a world splattered with information everywhere
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by fixit4me: 11:43am On Jul 30, 2011

I was able to do a fresh install of win xp using bootable cruzer usb flash with win set up from usb software, i had to force the stuff down the throat of my PC as set up and installation get stuck at times. My concern is i can't find any audio after installing XP SP3 and also sound driver for my toshiba laptop, any help will be appreciated

Good, it's advisable you download a fresh copy of Windows XP iso, mount it and update your PC with it. If you skipped files during your installation you may still have to face certain problems in the future.
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Ishilove: 4:10pm On Jul 30, 2011
Hi guys. Today i plugged in my laptop,an hp mini to charge. Later i wanted do some work on it so i transferred the system to another location,plugged it to charge,switched it on and started work. Shortly after i noticed that the charging indicator was blinking,i thot it wasnt properly connected so i unplugged the charger. The laptop switched off immediately. I tried to turn it on but it didnt turn on. It only switched on when i replugged it to the charger. The same thing keeps happening each time i unplug the charger. The battery icon on the system is sayin "plugged" but not charging". I have removed the battery and put it back,to no avail. Its still blinking and i cant switch it on unless its plugged.
I don't know what the problem is becos the laptop is relatively new {i bought it in April},i never let the battery to run down completly,it was charging normally b4 i changed its location to work on it and there was no power/NEPA fluctuation . . . HELP!!! *sob*

@deji2009. I did as u suggested and i got the response "status: uknown. Primary battery: an error was encountered trying to access the battery. Please re-insert the battery and the AC-Adadptor to retest the battery." then at the bottom of the dialog box there is "current state: charging (100%)". I clicked on the "refresh" button and the "current state" changed from "charging {100%}" to "Uknown"
Deji i'v re-inserted the battery and adaptor but i'm still facing the same problem. What next now? cry
