Cannot locate Wireless adapter Pavilion p6240f Desktop PC

Hello,

 

I cannot find the wireless adapter.

The wan is available but anytime I try to add wireless I get a  hardware not found message.

 

What do  I need to do to get the wireless back?

 

Thank you

Have you tried reinstalling the wireless driver using Recovery Manager in the Start Menu?

Hello all,

Today I downloaded a new driver from HP and tried to install it.

I got the following message:

 

YOUR SYSTEM DOES NOT MEET MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS INSTALLATION.  UPDATE HAS BEEN CANCELED   9996.

 

Any ideas out there?

 

 

Thanks

Only 2 scenarios I can think of. 1.The wireless adapter has failed. 2.It has lost connection and needs to be reseated.
