Hi:

What model wireless network card does your model use?

You have to install the corresponding model bluetooth driver for the model wireless card your notebook uses.

Thanks for your reply sir

 but how to know which model wireless network card does my  model use ? And where to find the corresponding model bluetooth driver ?

My model is  HP 250 G3   and it was on DOS .

You're very welcome.

I'll find the driver for you, no problem there.

Here is how you find out the easy way what model wireless network card your PC uses...

Go to the Device Manager.

Click to expand the Network Adapters category.

There you will find the names and model numbers of the ethernet (wired) and wireless adapters listed.

If you still can't figure out which is which, post all the names of the devices in that category.

Usually the wireless card will be a Qualcomm Atheros, Mediatek (Ralink), Broadcom or Intel.

You're very welcome.

You are missing quite a few drivers there...

First, install the smbus controller driver and reboot.

I can tell from your screenshot that you don't have the graphics driver installed. So, install the graphics driver and reboot.

Paul your answer was great.

I also just bought a HP 250 G3 and downgraded it to windows 7 ultimate.

It seems I have the exact same problem but the solution might be a little bit different.

1. The graphics driver is no more availible on the Intel's webpage.

2.When I try to install Engine interface (something like that) driver i get the message that my computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements for this application at the end of my installation.

Do you have any Idea what could that be?

Hello again,

It seems the problem expanded a little bit.

The file for USB3 (Universal Serial Bus controller) does not start when I try to install it.

Now I only need:

Network controller

PCI Device

Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller

Regards,

Tadej
