Now, about that router: you have one of these, correct? It connects to the internet for you. You don't need a disc - just a working computer.0 -

I did pre empt that HDD meant Hard Disc Drive, but wasn't sure what it meant to be perfectly honest...
My router looks like Netgear DG834G, but is in fact a Thompson ST 585 V6

Whatever you have, my advice stands. You can configure the router from within your web browser. No extra software required.MARTINS_DOLL wrote: »My router looks like Netgear DG834G, but is in fact a Thopmson ST 585 V6

Hiya spanky, many thanks for asking... :beer:
I left things for a while, as I have been busy!
At the moment I am on desktop, with my wallpaper and icons all showing.
Problem now is that I'm getting the message again which I had earlier in the year saying 'Power Surge On Hub Port' A USB device has exceeded the power limits of it's hub port. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message'
When I wiggle the mouse to get it to work, the symbol goes away, but the mouse and keyboard are still not lit or working! I can't remember how loaner told me to correct it...
