Hello and welcome. You can have a wireless network using dial up or broadband. Yes you can network XP and Windows 7. You can either have a normal printer connected to one of the computers and print from any of the computers on a network or you can have a wireless printer,both work.

Posibly a repair startup would help. Do you have the Vista install disk or recovery console already installed?

A laptop or netbook would still power on with battery removed and power cord plugged in. If the laptop fires up for a few seconds then dies or has no power at all it is possible it has died and would need a new mainboard fitted.

A freeze due to lts of proccesses running? Could you post your computer hardware specifications please. How much free space do you have on the hard drive?
