I don't ever use this laptop as my desktop is my main computer. But since I went wireless at home, I figured I should get my laptop to recognize my home network. My laptop couldn't find any network (it just kept thinking and thinking), but if I connect it directly to the router I can access the internet. I decided to troubleshoot; I am logged in as administrator. That's when I realized my device manager wouldn't open nor could I open a setup file for Network Magic (a program to help connect my laptop wirelessly). I actually can't open a lot of things in the device manager, at least anything that would be usefull to solving my problem. I have also noticed that it says "Not available" for Memory and Processor in the System subfolder in the Control Panel.
I took my CPU to Best Buy. They said it was an OS problem. Uninstall and reinstall should fix it. Problem is I don't have the OS CD; it was bought in another state. They want to charge me at least $200. So other than reinstalling the OS, are there any solutions?
