    Help!
    I'm in bother, I've accidentally uninstalled the above program from the wifes laptop and she isn't impressed:mad: and :iloveyou: not.


    It's the intenet connection program and now we can't connect wirelessly or evn by ethernet cable.

    I was going to try to download to a stick on this machine then tranfer to the laptop but cannot find any download for it, or non that work.

    Is there a similar download that will work?

    It's a Lenova G575 and atheros was installed when new.
    That actually does make it clear in so far as to the principal, but bear this in mind, I've never used a memory stick in my life to transfer from 1 machine to another.

    The other point is I have never had a download that will not also run, I wasn't aware that this was only part of atheros I was trying to install

    As was pointed out in #10, "You are running the installer after downloading it, it is rightly telling you that it can't detect the hardware. Find the file in your download folder, then copy it to a USB stick, then run it on the Lenovo".
    No that I don't get, is it not software?, I thought it was only software that can be uninstalled not hardware.

    In your very first post you stated "I was going to try to download to a stick on this machine then transfer to the laptop but cannot find any download for it, or non that work." leading us to believe that you understood how to transfer the file but were simply unable to find the correct file.

    Now finally in post #41 you tell us that you don't actually know how to transfer one file from one PC to another.

    Most non techies would simply ask "how do I do this please", rather than launching into to rants, telling people to "butt out" and now trumpet blowing!

    It is only possible to help those who are prepared to help themselves. You are never too old to learn, so don't play the age card on here where I'm sure many Techies are actually older than you!

    You were provided with the help that you asked in post #2 for and you could have easily asked or Googled how to transfer the file.

    Refer to my last post, does that give you an excuse for your obnoxiousness to me and others?

    You answered wanting conflict, I don't accept that

    IE Go to specsavers to another poster.

    This about your inability to meld with fellow interneters much more than my lack of computer savvy, you are more of a dinosaur than me
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    All through this you simply didn't comprehend that that stuff is alien to me.

    Stick, or save it, where monkeys save, keep, download or simply shove them. Up their USB sticks?, bad nuts again,

    You are an obnoxious chap, you need to reconsider your posts.

    If you are indeed trying to educate, (why else would you be here?):A:A:A. , you have failed. But you do have some success in establishing that you cannot accept that some folks do not get this stuff.

    I suggest you go to the cerebral version of SPECSAVERS, you are surely too far up your own hardrive to comprehend others issues.

    Do you actually regret saying go to specsavers to another poster?, because this is what this is all about
