    Well, what can i say!
    I know I know, this computers not mine, its a freinds, and all she uses it for is MSN, so she really doesn't want to invest in an upgrade. I have reloaded this computer for her, but i am finding it difficult to connect to a wirless network, I have installed the drivers for the car, and the utility (which does not detect the card????) But alas, no joy. if you think you could help, that would be great, thanks
