Helpppp

So I unistalled the preinstalled Norton of my HP G62 laptop. Since it was uninstalled i lost my wireless connection.

Thats not the only issue. The reason i was unistalling Norton was because eversince my Screen was replaced my usb ports no longer recoginised my old devices.(It does new devices) So i cant just plug in my ethernet cable.

I copyed norton tool remover to a flashdrive and removed all of norton but still my wireless conection is gone.

Please help.



p.s F**k Norton

 
Have you tried this?
TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Vista or 7.

Start - All Programs - Accessories and right click on Command Prompt, select "Run as Administrator" to open a command prompt.

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset IPv4 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log

Reset IPv6 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

Reboot the machine.
