Hi everyone, I've been trying to restore my girlfriend's computer for her, but I've been having problems with getting it connected to the internet. The other day I formatted the HD and installed WinXP Professional. I downloaded all the drivers from HP's website too, even wireless drivers, yet I can't get this laptop to connect. It has connected to the internet prior to the formatting. I tried a bunch of different drivers and simple things, but to no avail. I can't get it to scan for routers. Does anyone know what I can do? I'm ripping my hair out over this, haha. Thanks in advance! -Cameron
