Okay, First, sorry for not coming on.
Right, My girlfriend wanted to downgrade from Windows Vista to Windows XP, which I have done, and before I did it, she had no problem connection to the internet through her wireless box.
I installed windows XP over Vista, and it removed all her settings, programmes and such as, which I knew it would, but I thought it would keep the wireless connection settings.
When I finished installing ( 30 Minutes for all those who wants to know ) and I finally logged into the laptop, it had no wireless connection settings, I have tried going and setting up a network, and I have all the information, such as a Passkey, admin username, admin password, the passphraes and all that ( no, I wont be telling you any of them, security reasons, and im not stupid, no offence people ).
I managed to get it on the internet using a USB Wireless Connection Device ( The NETGEAR WG111 v2 ), and setting it up using the device instillation discs.
The Laptop does have a internal wireless card, but I cant seem to get it to use it at the moment
The information you may need at the moment
Laptop ;- ADVENT Notebook Personal Computer - K4000
Operating System ;- Windows XP home Edition
Current Wireless Connection Device - NETGEAR WG111 V2
If someone could get me a reply pretty quick, so I can remove the horrible giant chunk known as the Wireless USB Connecter on the side of this laptop, I would be very grateful
