Hello,
I have a Compaq Presario V2030US with XP Home. I have been having some
trouble with the Intel PROSet Wireless software that was installed and was
advised by intel that if a system restore didn't work then I should "perform
a clean Operating System installation using the latest drivers available".
Would this involve wiping the harddrive and reinstalling the entire
operating system with all my utilities, or what would be the best approach
to accomplishing this?
Thanks!...
As an aside, my problem began when I wanted to reinstall Intel ProSet
Wireless software on my system and it didn't load after uninstalling and
then reinstallation. Going to add/remove programs did not bring up any
dialog (should have brought up a window with options to modify, repair or
uninstall). Messing about a lot with it me discover that occasionally I
could get the add/remove programs to work to allow me to do a repair and get
it working (though I don't know what circumstances cause this), but on
reboot it would be back to broken. Intel said that if I couldn't do an
uninstall then to do a system restore (which didn't work) and do the clean
OS installation failing that. So I am somewhere in-between attempting an
uninstall again and doing the clean OS installation thing. All this has been
extremely upsetting.
As a further aside, could anyone tell me what the difference is connecting
wirelessly through Intel PROSet software compared to the regular windows way?
Thanks,
Ben
