    It's not much more than a toy if it has windows CE on it, do a search for windows CE on here.

    Was this a replacement for the Toshiba that wouldn't boot, did you try reinstalling windows?

    Lively ,

    Why didn't you come on here and ask before you bought.

    I am sure we could have found you something a bit better than the one you got.

    How long have you had it ?

    And can you send it back ?

    Because it's essentially a calculator with a keyboard. You can't do jack !!!!!! with them and you won't find any programs for them either as nothing works on Windows CE. Best thing you can do is take it back and get your money back then save up for a proper netbook or a notebook. (Samsung NC10 is a decent rated netbook, for example).

    Don't bother trying to 'fix' it as you'll be just throwing good money after bad.

    Have to agree with other posters here

    Windows CE = Windows Crap Edition

    Take it back. :)

    Cheapest Netbook currently is this Zoostorm Freedom 8.9" for £124.

    The 10.2" screen is also good value at £144.

    As is the Samsung N130 for £154.

    If probably has an ethernet port on it, connect that to your router with a network cable, and it "should just work."

    If your router doesn't have a spare port, you'll need a small ethernet hub.

    If you were hoping to connect it wirelessly, you'll probably be disappointed.
