Combo Card - refers to Wireless and Bluetooth:
There are 2 variant for HCL 1044 using Intel and Non-intel combo card. A jasus combo card require separate installation of wireless and bluetooth which mean you need to install them one at a time. For non-intel HCL already provide the wireless and Bluetooth driver in one driver packages. so you need to choose base on your specification. If you does not know how to check, just test which work for you.

Unduh base on your Operating system, for Windows 7 use windows Vista driver. The unduh page would look like this:
Click add to basket, then click your basket, then select download.

The file would be in cabinet (.cab) file type, you need to install winrar to extract the driver file. Remember the path of the extracted driver folder because we will need it later.

If failed you can install it manually using device manager.

3. Now click browse and point to the extracted driver folder.

For me personally this device is not important, you can right click and disable it unless you find that some of your laptop feature does not work properly. Does this affect laptop performance, I don't think so and from my experience this type of file does not.
