Have you installed any new software? Or any program updates. To me it sounds as though your drivers have become corrupted. What you need to do is to go to the HP support website and re-download the correct drivers for your HP model and Operating System. When you update the drivers reboot and check to see it you're good to go...All the best
Click Start button in RUN prompt, type "services.msc" without the quotes. scroll down till you get :WLAN Autoconfig" Double click on the "WLAN Autoconfig"
Click on Start button and set the startup type to "Automatic"
Sounds like the device driver to the wireless card is corrupt. Click on start>right click on My Computer>Properties>Hardware tab then Device manager. Click on the "+" sign next to your wireless Network adapter. Then right-click on your network adapter, click on Update driver. The system will automatically look for the new driver and download it. If there is no new driver then go to the manufactureres website. All of the drivers are there. Find your computer and download the driver.

If you have vista click the start button and in the start search type "hp wireless assistant". It should show up in your list while you type it. Click on it. Once the assistant box shows up, click on "properties". A "settings" box should show up. The main one you need here is "independant controls for installed wireless device". Check that box. The other ones are icons and indicators that you can check at your discretion. If in doubt, check them all. Hit the "apply" button. Then in the upper right hand side of the box hit the button that says "turn on". This should activate the device and if you have a light up indicator on your computer, it should change color or light up. That should do it. Kind of weird how it gets to that point.
