It's telling you to turn on the "radio switch" by pressing the <FN> key next to the spacebar and depressing the <F2> key.

Pressing fn-F2 is telling your wireless utility software to activate/deactivate your wireless card. You should also be able to do it through your wireless utility software. There is Usually a little icon for it at the bottom-right of your screen.

Uninstall the driver. Shutdown the unit then insert the bluetooth adapter and then reinstall driver.

If not then check settings of your firewall or antivirus.

Hope this helps you already.

Thank you for your query

From the error message that you are seeing you are having a issue with one or both of your IDE devices. These devices are your Hard drive or/and your CD/DVD drive

I would not recommned that you tackle it yourself if you have no PC engineering experience

Please book into a reputabe firm for further diagnosis, it may be that you may need to discoonect the IDE drive from the devices and give it a clean or alternativley one of the devices may be faulty

If this has been useful please leave positive feedback/vote/testimonial as
