WinRar Download and install. Remove the tick from 'Create Program Group' before completing the install.

Your Wireless Driver Before you download it, go to Start > All Programs > Windows Updates and 'Check for Updates'. Once you've run the check, look at the Optional Updates to see if your Wireless Driver is offered there.
If not, download and save the Wireless Driver above for now.

The Manual is here

Download and run the file.

Go to Section 3: Settings and Upgrade.
Upgrading Memory is on page 79.

Before you begin, turn off the laptop and remove the mains lead and battery. Try to handle the RAM by the edges.
You simply slot it in to the spare slot(it only goes one way. Take note of the little slot between the contacts) and then press it down towards the other until it clicks into place.
Takes a few seconds. The whole job will be done in around five minutes. You'll probably take most of the time looking for a screwdriver.

Then re-connect everything. See you back here in ten minutes max.

Press the Flying Windows Key and whilst keeping it down, press the Pause Break key.

There you will see both the Activation Status and the amount of RAM installed.

Report back that all is ok there.

while i have been trying to download the link for office 2007 it has come up with an error saying the display driver had an error but has recovered again, is this anything to worry about?

just installing Microsoft office now

NiftyDigits

Nothing about which to worry. There will probably be an updated Display Driver at some point.
Running better than ever before?

crystal9

ok micro office now downloaded didn't get an option to do custom download though.

yeah i can not believe how fast the laptop is now,it has never run this fast think it is because it hasn't got them extra programs like net intelligence and learn and write etc

is there much to do to get it back to windows 7 professional?
