HP Wireless Assistant for Windows 8 (upgrade of Windows 7) (HP Probook 6450 b)

Computer laptop HP ProBook 6450 b basic model

Purchased in September 2011.

Just yesterday upgraded to Windows 8. Was a child, all game worked initially. During the restart, I disabled the wireless since installation of Windows Defender wasnot.

Then I realized, I can't turn on wireless. The button is just disabled.

Can only be connected on the local network.

Search on the web revealed HP Wireless Assistant be the culprit. This should be removed before the upgrade in Win 7.

It is now too late.  Does anyone have a resolution for this one?

Thank you

RG

I read in another post that changing the default BIOS settings should do the trick.

That seems to work:

-Stop the laptop

-Remove the power cable & battery

-Press the on switch for 30 seconds

-Power home

-Laptop power and press F10

-Enter the BIOS and set the changes to default

That seemed to work.

Of course, restarting do not work and that is easy to fix (driven from power!).

Thank you all for the advice.

PS:

Bought a mac & this laptop from h - p in 2011. Mac went through 2 operating system upgrades (cost $20) and "0"... questions

Windows 7 to Windows 8 for $40 to upgrade and crazy questions...

  • Wireless adapter for Windows 7 on 15-e180nr

  • Sync problems Xbox 360 wireless receiver for Windows and the controller (Windows XP, SP3)

    I'm having trouble connecting my controller to the wireless receiver. I use XP, Service Pack 3, 32-bit. I read dozens of help sites for help, but none has my same circumstances. The most common suggestion was to look at the driver for the receiver appears as a device not recognized. I checked the Device Manager and the receiver is recognized and does not appear as device not recognized. My controller does not appear in Device Manager as a new group named Microsoft Common Controller for Windows class, on Xbox 360 Controller for Windows. My controller syncs perfectly with my console, and functions very well also. I also downloaded the file Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories of the Microsoft hardware Web site, such as recommended by many establishments but do not know how file functions. A last help, my receiver is genuine and not fake with the XBCD holographic logo.

  • Question about the USB wireless adapter for Windows XP

    I'm trying to set up a wireless connection for my desktop pc with Windows XP. I don't see any options for a wireless connection. A USB adapter would do the trick? Looks like the easiest option.

    For a desktop computer with Windows XP, there was probably no built-in wireless card. Some systems Windows XP later had these as optional.

    You must meet your Dell model.

    A USB dongle should work, but make sure there is a Windows XP driver on the suppliers Web site before you buy. Windows XP has reached its end of life and is no longer supported by Dell or, more importantly, Microsoft. Be careful with the continued use of Windows XP, especially if the connection to the internet.

    You can install the unofficial service pack 4 before you connect to the internet which will help a little:
