HP Compaq 6710b Wireless QuickLaunch button not working (Fixed)

Salam Guys. After installing Windows 7 on this laptop, everything worked fine on this machine except Wireless Lan. I thought of it as a simple driver problem. So I opened Device Manager. To my surprise, a ‘Broadcam’ Wireless Adapter was already installed under Network Adapters. Then I thought that there must be a button or shortcut key on the keyboard for activating WiFi. After inspecting the whole laptop, I finally found a touch sensor type button above the F4 key. But unexpectedly, after touching the sensor ( even pressing ;) ), there was no response from the computer. Quite depressing!!

Installing Windows 7 Ultimate on HP Compaq 6710b Laptop Computer

Salam guys!

Today I had the oppertunity to install Windows 7 on HP Compaq 6710b Notebook. It has a Core 2 Duo Processor. This machine is big, having 15.4″ screen which makes me uncomfortable to handle. (Coz m addicted to a netbook now days ;) ).

I installed Windows 7 Ultimate using a ‘Kingston’ 4 GB USB Flash Drive. And you wont believe… It took less than 15 minutes for installation.

Later on… I had some Wireless Lan issues with this laptop which I successfully solved later. Click here to read the story…

Orkut: A social network or illicit network?

I found the following post on facebook. Its worth sharing.

Subject: Orkut: A social network or illicit network?

Most of the people who use internet are well aware of “Orkut” a social networking website. But besides social networking this website is being used for immoral activities, which is a great threat to the future of our young generation.

Amongst variety of people, I came across, some are really good and helpful and using this social network in positive manner and to help each other. But some of them in fact most of them are using this portal in a wrong way. Continue reading

Oscommerce: My presentation in Ecommerce subject

Salam fellows!

I’ve been asked by Sir Adnan to present on Oscommerce.  Oscommerce is a online store management software with shopping cart technology and other technologies. It is the most popular open source store management software.

Unusually… this time I gave a lot of time to the design of the presentation slides which I think resulted in my personal satisfaction only.  I’ve learned that only design of the slides are not important. There are other factors too such as calmness,style etc which also need more efforts.

You can download my presentation slides from the link below:
