Well I browsed through the other threads on this topic, but nothing worked for me.
I bought the compaq Presario cq56 yesterday. The laptop came with a lot of crap on it from HP so I decided to install Windows 7 Ultimate on it, to have a clean Windows, wifi worked fine with the pre-installed Windows. After I installed Windows 7 Ultimate, I was not able to see the other wi-fi netwoks (usually around 40). Fair enough I though, let's download the newest driver for the network card (Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller). I did that, but it still didn't work so I uninstalled it again.
I still kept the old windows in the windows.old folder so I searched for the driver files, copied them into a new WIN folder and installed that driver over the Device Manager. Still doesn't work, the Laptop does seem to have a key to turn wi-fi on or off, I tried both (LED red and white) but nothing seems to work.
I'd be glad if someone could give me advice on what to do next
