Wireless does not illuminate

OK, so I recently wiped my hard drive to my HP Pavilion dv1000, I put XP back on it and the wireless would not work (it worked until I erased my HD) thinking his broken, I put Windows 7 top, then worked, wireless, which made me think he was working again, I put XP (home edition SP2) and now Wireless does not work yet , it says my COM may be disabled and to activate it but when I go to Device Manager to turn it on, it is not listed. I'm really confused and really could use wireless, any help? I've not put / downloaded everything except IE8 and AVG Free.

Thank you

If you have performed a clean installation of Windows XP (and it sounds like you did) rather than to use the application of restoration-to-factory-condition of HP, then once installed XP, you must install the drivers for the various pieces of hardware in your computer.  XP has some (and maybe Windows 7 more), but usually there are devices that doesn't work at all or work in a degraded mode until the proper drivers are installed.  This is particularly true for laptops.

Go to the HP support site and download the drivers for your computer.  Choose your computer here:http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Lookup?h_lang=en&h_cc=us&cc=us&h_page=hpcom&lang=en&h_client=S-A-R163-1&h_pagetype=s-002&h_query=pavillion+dv1000&submit=Go+%BB

I noticed on the download page of the driver that there is multiple-choice to... wireless adapters you will need to understand that you have.  If you do not have the documentation that came with your computer (or a driver CD), have a look in Device Manager or try Belarc Advisor .

If you download and install the utility wireless in addition to the driver, remember that you will need to decide if you want to as the utility to control the wireless adapter or if you want that Windows wireless control automatic to fight against it. See http://www.ezlan.net/wzc.html

If you still have problems, please post the full text of the error message, without paraphrasing.

Finally, note that some laptops (and I haven't checked your) turn on the wireless adapter or by using a physical switch somewhere on the laptop or a combination of keys Fn key + Fkey press.

    You did it all change hardware or software before this problem?

    Try the following and see if they work for you.

    Make sure the wireless, as the function key switch for the wireless is turned on. Please refer to the user manual that came with the computer.

  • Have a Pavillion DV ^-3250us, Win 7, 64 Bit. WIFI does not illuminate

    Wireless won't turn on; wired connection is fine.

    HP wireless Asst says that the wireless is activated by the keyboard. Steady orange light & does not illuminate.

    If I turn off the power & remove the battery, I can get a blue light when I turn on the PC.

    But then the PC wants to update the driver.  When she did this, the problem returns.

    Before replacing the BIOS, I decided to try something less drastic.

    (Always to play with the BIOS that makes me sick at heart)

    I noticed that the driver installation always fails.

    But before the boot process that took well to the long, I noticed that I could turn the wireless card on & turn off with the F12 key.

    But once the initialization is completed, the card might be disabled.

    Therefore, I have concluded that the material of the wireless card was probably good.

    Then, I deleted the driver and let Windows update select the BIOS install.

    The next round of selected SW another update driver to install; and now everything works.

    So something must have gotten corrupted and caused the wrong driver to settle.

  • I need help, its frustrating me! network discovery does not illuminate.

    my network discovery does not illuminate. Whenever I try to turn it on I get an error message that says: (the specified service does not exsist as an installed service)! I need to elp, its frustrating me! I have windows vista.

    Hello

    Did you change your computer?

    Method 1:

    Based on the network location you choose, Windows affects a State of network for network discovery and opens the Windows Firewall ports suitable for this State.

    Step 1: We recommend you to check if the elements of network discovery are enabled in Windows Firewall. To do this, try the following steps.
    1. click on start, type firewall and then click Windows Firewall with advanced security.
    2. click on rules of incoming traffic in the left pane and select the (SSDP-In) network discovery and network discovery (UPnP) - in the list.
    3. click on rules of outgoing traffic in the left pane and enable network discovery (SSDP-out) and the discovery of the network (UPnP-Out) in the list.
    4. apply the changes and check the result.

    For more information about network discovery, see this link:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-network-discovery

    Step 2: Check the status of the following services: browser, TCP/IP NetBios support.
    1. Click Start, type services.msc and press to enter.
    2. from the list of services, double-click the service computer browser and TCP/IP NetBios support.
    3. change the startup type to automatic and start the service.
    4. apply the changes.

    Method 2:

    Now we go ahead and try to enable the discovery of the network on your computer and check for the issue.

    Network discovery is disabled by default for public networks. Changing a network location type to home or work is the best way to turn on network discovery. To learn how to change a network location type, see Choosing a network location. To enable discovery manually, follow the steps below.

    To turn on network discovery

    1. open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, and then click Network and sharing Center.

    2. If network discovery is off, click the arrow button expand the section, click turn on network discovery, and then click on apply. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    I also suggest you turn on discovery of the network link and check.

    Enable or disable network discovery
