Hi,

 

We need to identify the wireless card to install the correct driver.

 

Right click the Network Controller with the yellow triangle then click Properties > Tab Details > On the Property box select Device Instance Id
Copy & Paste the values on the box to your Reply

Couldn't find anything in property boc that said Device instance ID, so I noted down anything that had ID in its name:

Hi,

 

Sorry its the Hardware ID, the name changes depending on the Windows version.

 

The HP web page containing the drivers for your machine is here

 

The driver for the Intel wireless card from the page above is http://ftp.hp.com/pu...000/sp72777.exe
