ME AND WIRELESS ON LAPTOP

[Guest rlmtrat78]

I have an old Compaq laptop with windows me installed. I would like to be

able to

run some very simple scheduling programs from an internet site using a

wireless card and service. Will ME support that process?

You should be able to add a wireless card to your laptop. Ensure that you

obtain one that includes Win Me compatible drivers. The card can either

be PCMCIA/CARDBUS (if your laptop has such a slot) or usb.

If it's USB, when mixing older and newer gear, pay close attention

to whether a new USB 2.0 gadget and drivers will work with

USB 1.0 ports on the old Compaq. Some will work with ME

but not USB 1.0 ports in an older machine.

Therefore it might be worth considering a PCMCIA - 4 port USB 2.0 card in

conjunction with a USB 2.0 WiFi stick, to maximise both the economic outlay

with the USB 2.0 efficiency - and have a couple of spare USB 2.0 ports

available as a bonus. Works a treat here, with my 10 year old Toshiba

(single USB 1.0 port) laptop running WinMe.
