Just registered to ask for advice. I have just received an old laptop from my aunt, Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 it's running XP SP1 and I don't really know what to do with it.

I would only use it to watch some DVDs, play a bit of music and surf the web so to make it run smoother I thought about installing Ubuntu on it. I don't really know where to start and don't know if the wireless internet will still work. I'm using a wireless PC card.

I tried to format C, didn't work because some process is still using some volume, when I tried to force it it didn't work either.]]>

Ideally I'm looking for something with code highlighting, can open multiple documents, and can works with Drupal's CVS server.

I've tried to install PHPEclipse into Eclipse, but so far no go. Is that worth using? Or is there something better?]]>

i am looking for some advice please but bear in mind i am a complete computer novice!!

my wife has just got a samsung netbook for her birthday but when i tried to connect to the internet through the router it would not connect

my son also has a laptop which was working fine but that also stopped connecting

the router we have is a netgear dg834g v3

after looking on the netgear website i found the only way i could connect both laptops was if i turned the router security off

obviously i am a bit worried about leaving it like this but when i reactivated the wep security on the router they still couldnt connect

any help or advice would be most welcome

many thanks]]>

I have somehow managed to remove the network adapter from my PC.

I updated my PC to Internet Explore 8 and uninstalled some unused programs which were taking up memory space.
After this I could not connect to the internet.

My network connection is only showing dial up and I have lost the LAN. Under Device Manager I am not showing any Network adapters. It only says Ethernet Controller with a question mark and exclamation mark. I have clicked this and tried to re-install but it is not working.

I have been told to download a driver and re-install but I really don't know what I am looking for or which driver to select.

My PC is a Dell Optiplex 320 and I am running Windows XP.
Unfortunatly I do not have any disks that came with the PC as I bought it second hand.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can fix this as I am lost without my broadband.

Thank You]]>

I don't think it's my system, but just in case the basics are:

Processor: Quad Core 2.67 GHz
RAM: 4.00 GB
GFX: 1GB ATI Radeon HD 4870 DDR5


Thanks in advance!]]>
