I purchased Compaq Presario CQ40 Notebook / laptop and installed both XP + Vista operating systems. I purchased Idea Net Setter data card. XP is unable to detect the same, while the Vista is detecting and operating very well. OS has been formatted twice, but, my problem was not solved. But, this data card is working well in other systems with XP OS both in laptops and desktops. I could not find out the reason for failure. A number of engineers tried to solve the problems, but showed their unability. I further humbly request that would you please give me the solution for this problem without asking me to format again.

Have you tried to update your Compaq Presario CQ40 Notebook BIOS?. If not, then give it a go. You just might be missing the connection post setting in the BIOS.

If it works in Vista, but not your XP, and it works in other's XP machines, have you checked your XP drivers with the ones on other's machines?
