  1. It does not have the same connection as this PC - Wireless Internet connection
  2. When I tried following the instructions on the manual, it says it needs the drivers. This may be the problem - I dont have the drivers.
  3. I did that. I opened network connections. It shows me two. One has a large red cross through it - the Local Area Connection. The otherone says 1394 connection connected
  4. I have the CD for Nero Express, and have installed it. It seems to run properly. It also has Acrobat which seems to run as well. I can now open the PDF files. It seems a bit comlicated and will take time to read the manual. Any ideas on how to search for the wireless network adaptor?
  5. I have found a CD called "Micosoft works" and have installed it. It seems fine.
  6. I have done as suggeted, and all folders on the CD appear to be PDF files. I cannot open them - I get the message that windows cannot open file etc, same as before
  7. We go to the village (65Km from us) once per week (on Saturdays), so I will probably take this laptop and the problem one, and see if they can match them.
  8. The network adapter is a wireless network hub called a Canyon wireless 11g AP Router CNP-WF514. It has a disc "Manual" AP Router, but when I open it, it has the same type of useless icons and no EXE file.
  9. Well I would need word and excel. These came with the computer. I have searched and cannot find the Utilities or Drivers CD, and I am sure the computer shop still has them. I use a wireless internet hub (used by all three computers, and I cannot connect to it. I also cannot connect or create a network to the others like I had before
  10. Hi again. Sorry can only use the computer when running the generator - no electricty here. I have re-installed windows XP as suggested. Now, obviously, I have no programs at all. Should I now take the PC back to the computer shop to re-install the programs? I cannot create a network anymore
  11. I havesome petrol and matches. Is this what is left?
  12. when I click on it, I get the same window" "windows cannot open this file etc.
  13. Same problem - the "setup" option has the same icon
  14. The problem is with the Fu Sie. I do not need to get any data from that machine. Do I insert the disc before starting up?
  15. This laptop is about 2 years old. I do not know what discs came with them. I do, however have a disc that says "Operating system - recovery CD/DVD" Microsoft Windows XP Home edition SP2 . It also says "for distribution only with a new Fujitsu Siemens Computers PC". As this problem laptop is a Fujitsu Siemens, and the onl one, I presume this disc came with it.
  16. Most, but not all, the icons on my desktop have the same strange icon. It is a white square with the top right corner folded down. In the square is a smaller icon like a windows icon, and inside that are three small dots that look like thumbnails or even smaller icons. Too small to see. None of these programs can open, even if I right click - there is no "open" option!
  17. Now when I check on "My computer" and on the drive "E", the programs are listed there but have the same little icon and connot open. When I plug the flash frive on this PC (the good one) the proper icons are shown. Completely different to the icons when it is plugged into the bad PC
  18. I plugged in the stick on the problem laptop. I cannot open the file on the stick. It also has an icon with a picture of a windows window with very small thumbnail type dots on it, and all the programs with a similar icon cannot open. I get the same message: "windows cannot open this file. Top open windows needs to know what program created it"
  19. No, I downloaded the program on the problem pc, not this one. It downlaod then gave the message above. I have also download superantispyware onto the memory stick.
  20. It downloaded but a window comes up saying windows cannot open this file etc.
  21. I have access to the internet on the problem pc. I am busy downloading SUPER AntiSpyware now
  22. I dont really need to save anything on the other laptop. It is used by the volunteers to have internet access. All important data is saved on yert another laptop - the engine of Daktari. This one is also just used by the volunteers, but is also used as a back-up for the main one (in addition to an external hard drive). This laptop works fine, just the one I was discussing with you. Maybe it would be better to completely re-format the laptop?
  23. I have a flash drive. What you said is confirmed.
  24. I am back on the forum. To recap - When I rebooted in Safe mode - command prompt - I treid several dates (I cannot recall the exactdate when it was working, but chose one much earlier - I think the date was Feb 16, but that doesnt work anymore. I am busy opening this page on my other laptop
