Upgraded a Compa nc6000 to Win7 fresh install new hard drive. Install went fine but now my built in wireless isn't recognized at all. It has a button to turn it on or off and it does nothing either. I assume the driver is gone. How do I go about getting this back to work? I have no idea what make/model the device is but it's the way it was when it was out of the box. Any advice?

It may not be supported on Windows 7.... call and ask. In general "upgrading" to a newer OS is a misnomer. Should be called a downgrade as the new OS will always run slower than the old one.
It previously had Vista and I was never a fan of it. I figured 7 would be better than that. It's wifey's laptop and she just plays online puzzle games on it so I'm not too worried about it being a speed demon. I will have to fix this somehow or I'm sleeping in the garage tonight LOL
Okay here is the deal...It is supported by both Vista and Windows 7 but for Win7 it cannot be Pro or Ultimate, the driver is unsupported. Will work fine with Home Edition. Spent a good portion of the day trying to figure it out. I was also doing another machine today and the same problem with the video driver. I think it's about time to put these PC's in the recycle bin themselves and start over with something a tad newer LOL
