Hello there,

Listen, thankyou very much for replying to me. It's a tiresome,loathsome feeling in the gut having
to use my resolve for this computing issue. It seems unfair to drag others into it.  ALso it was not
mentioned i am talking about windows XP.  SP3 version.


It's a compaq laptop, and has been exhibiting the blue fatal screen on occassion....which
in my extremely limited experience can often point to a hardware discrepancy (external device)

For some lengh of time...wi fi worked fine....but would ofcourse, signal drop on occassion
and it's all new to me because i never used Wi-Fi before.....proper.

So yes, a friend online was saying have staunch resolve and get things solved...but
my experience says, this situation is a lot of hasstle for me right now.

I can't figure it down to either hardware, USB, driver issues, the OS and conflicts...
also throw in signal strenghs all over the shop....and also weather...
A right cooking pot of a mess there....and i feel the effort looming could not yeild much
change....it's still going to be unreliable...

The laptop was working pretty fine and nothing gremlins related appears to be the issue
and it has not been miss-used on the web....etc....(there are no indications of virus etc)

It's looks like a melting pot of unreliability and old gear...mixed with a not all-together smart
operator...that's me...

with the laptop still working for word wide web over cell handset....although this isn't
a nice dsl wi-fi signal.....it's usable...and i am Loathed to have to start rebuilding machines
and software stacks....to find degrees of un-reliablilty at the end of that effort.

sorry to go on....

ridiculous when a kid could probably settle it in no time.....but for me it's a gutt ache.

it seems wiser to me to leave the laptop...with this limited working word wide web...until
wired internet falls my way late next week....hopefully again...

thanks

V

lol  ok well maybe you need to upgrade the USB wifi device,  wifi devices and routers have made great progress recently

cast-fish:
hell coreplayer2

THankyou, yes that is what most people would do (right)

Uh....it has worked perfect for reasonable lenghs of time. It's just a real
agrivation now...you know.

my instinct tells me stuff, but it's nothing educated. (like i say, a kid could probably solve it)

Well the WI-FI dongles are so innexpensive...indeed this would make sense coreplayer2.

use another piece of kit. THat's less risk and perfectly reasonable proposition.

This is the laptop right now ...you see....Connected and operating on the world wide web.

really thanks,

Vince.
