My Mother-in-Law has a Compaq Presairo F500 and the built in wireless has stopped working and also says its not installed, i have spent hours trying to find out why but google has not been my friend. Please help

Many Thanks

Ok i have taken out the WIFI Card and had a good look it seems to be fine, i guess ill have to get her to have it looked at under the warrenty
 
I have just checked the bios and in the boot order it has Network Adapter and it has a ! by it and down the side it says "The boot capability will be disabled if the device with the exclamation mark" which does not makesense to me lol

But there is no where in the bios to enable it or disable it
 
I have now found the card in the device manager but it still wont work it says that the driver is upto date and when i try and do anything i get a code 31 and i cant get it to do anything, also device manager is showing the card to be intel pro wireless 2195agb
 
Even when i load the broadcom drivers nothing happens?

I have just loaded the broadcom driver again and i am getting the code 31 error

you can force a driver change even if it says they are the latest by doing "dont search" and "have disk" and point it to the directory that it's put the proper drivers.

Don't know if you have tried that.

Yeah i have tried that
