wireless dose not work hp pavilion ze5400[MOVED]

[jasoomro]

i have this laptop and it has xp on it
i am trying to connect to wireless but page can not display

how ever there is icon on task bar it says more wireless networks are available,
but when i am trying to connect to my computer it say that network is not available or is out of range
i have dlink wireless N router and i have 3 laptops and they all are connected with wireless
some one told me that you have to remove the driver and download the new software from hop websites
when i download and turn on my laptop it connected with same driver
need your guidance

Assuming you have downloaded and installed the driver (normally HP dump the installation files on C:\, but you have the option to custom install and choose your own locations) you can "update" the driver manually.

Go to start>control panel and click systems. Go to the hardware tab and click device manager. Look for the device you want to update the driver for and double click it. Go to the driver tab and click on update driver.

A screen will pop up like in the automatic install. Select "install for a list or specific location" this time and click next. Uncheck "search removable media" and check "include this location in search". Click the browse button and go to the directory where you saved your new driver. (if its on CD just search removable media and it will find it).

Click next and it will attempt to install the driver.
