Compaq presario 3000 laptop

How can i get a wireless driver for my compaq laptop?
i have my step dads Compaq presario 3000 laptop. I tried reinstalling XP and it for some reason it did not format the hard drive :-(. One thing that it did do though is delete the wireless driver. i have already downloaded driver detective and it cost money which i dont have. Is there any way i can get the driver. also how do i find the model? all i know is that its a Compaq Presario 3000, thats all it says.

Compaq Laptop keeps on turning off

My Compaq Laptop keeps on turning off when I play an online game?
I have a Presario V2000 Compaq Laptop. I've had it for a little over two years. Just two months ago whenever I start playing a game that you buy at a store it turns itself off within 20 minutes. I've tried cleaning the heat sink but that didn't help. It isn't even getting hot either. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

it could be your drivers. it most likely is. check to see if the manufacturer has updated graphics drivers, and if that doesnt work, try uninstalling them and running with the default ones for your operating system. both options have there benefits. personally i have to use the vista default drivers on my laptop because the nvidia ones crash my chip.

1)If it is a very old compaq, you may need a password. These type are virtually impossible to break (into) unless the original owner gives it to you. OR 2)There is a chance that the windows ? software is corrupt. Compaqs mostly had restore discs provided with the OS on them and also the drivers for the motherboard.Otherwise you must reinstall a copy of an operating system from another disc. 3) 1st point is does the bios 'beep' when you start the machine up to indicate that the mainboard is all OK?
2 :
I think it would be best to ask in the HP forums (since compaq is owned by HP) at http://www.hp-forums.com. You can interact with other users and pros to discuss your machine and its issues. I ask most of my questions over there and get pretty good answers.
