    do you no where i can buy a battery for this laptop spare 1 if what make and model no.
  • It's been fine since I moved the antennae and patched it. No drop outs or speed drops at all. I did notice that the pic on the website showed only one antenna! The laptop's been fine in all ways.

    :mad: I'm having probelms with my wireless minipci + antennae setup.
    The minipci was installed and recognised ok, I then fitted the 2 wires (pretty much as Calibrax described (thanks again for that!) in his previous post in page 59... but I am dropping connection and generally unstable. (had no probs when tried with a Belking USB adapter)

    I physically swapped the wires around, and still the same thing...

    ...very frsutrating... can't think of anything else...
    :confused:

    unless it's down to teh quality of the antennae themsleves? I got mine form "clonepony" at ebay

    I just want to check I can safely delete the related shortcuts off the desktop, and the following folders in Windows Explorer?

    Programs
    AOL9
    AOL Companion


    Apps
    DEMOAOL9
    CLICKME
    NIS


    Any Ideas?

    Edit: And another question, the write speed of the cd/dvd writer is what?

    Ta

    :D

    Same problem with different antenna!

    Did you get the ebuyer card? Ive sent mine back for a replacement so we'll see if that helps.

    Dosent sound good though if your having problems too.

    Where did you get your card from 'myusernamestaken'??

    yep, got the 2200BG from ebuyer. I think that the problem lies with the set up not the adapter itself. Am gonna try again with a fresh XP install and let you know...

    Ta Very Much :D

    I removed all the Norton stuff a while past, using the advice here. Discovered the NIS folder yesterday. All it contains is an "ALERTS" folder and a "MANUAL" folder.

    I guess the two folders were simply left behind by the uninstall process. ;)

    Yes, the folders left behind can be deleted.

    It wouldn't let me delete mine at first but after a reboot it did
