    Hi Smartyp,

    1, Have you downloaded the driver from HP website
    2, Have you tried Windows update (hardware updates)
    3, Does device Manager show a problem

    S/R No is a number that is located on a sticker somewhere on the back of the comp.

    SMARTYP, edit your sig to conform to forum specs ASAP. yours is 7 lines including the blank line.
    1. Text-only signatures should have at most 5 lines of text.
