I have a netbook and as there is no CD drive in it I am unable to install a DVB-T Tuner that I have is the only option to buy an external C D drive. I am not very good with computers so I would appreciate it if there was a simple solution.

    Do you have any other machines with CD drives? Is there a website from where you can downlod the software/drivers?

    Seriously, you need to provide more concise information.

    It is a Tevion DVB - Tuner I bought from Aldi about 3 years ago. I do have it installed on another laptop but do not know how to transfer it. The user manual has a picture of the install page after the disk is inserted it says

    Welcome to the AF9015 BDA Driver - 7.7.4.1 WHQL Setup. I have searched for this on the internet but cannot get anything I find to work.

    You haven't answered all of the questions. Do you still have the disk? Which Operating System is on the Netbook?

    Not those...specifically this one. The one for SP3. :) I sure you have chosen it anyway.

    Make sure you are running SP3, by pressing and holding down the Flying Windows key and then pressing Pause Break.
