Hi to everyone and hope youcan give me some advice. Right the first laptop is my daughters (compaq f500 running Vista home premium) she had a lot of viruses on there that were stopping the computer from doing anything so she asked my son to wipe it clean but she cant find her recovery disc so he told her that he would try it with his mothers disks who also has a compaq running xp home edition she said didnt matter about what its running. So he did that but for some reason he dont know, it starts fine he has installed a few other bits of software for her, camera and stuff but in the tray at the bottom there are no tv screens showing up to say if he has access to the wirless internet so cant get on the other 3 laptops in the house are fine, any ideas and help would be much appreciated. Please give abc instructions please cos im not the best at this. Tarw
moved to correct forum as not an all other topics issue. you are missing the ethernet drivers with possible other drivers missing too. which laptop is it in this link? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...estPage=pfinder&tool=&query=compaq f500&=#N29
Hi thanks for the reply the laptop my son wiped has another number which says f545ea on a sticker at the bottom so would it be this. The recovery disks he installed back onto the laptop were from a compaq presario m2000, hope this is of help. Brian
