Guest rlmtrat78 Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 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?
Guest Mike M Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Re: ME AND WIRELESS ON LAPTOP 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. -- Mike Maltby mike.maltby@gmail.com rlmtrat78 <rlmtrat78@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > I have an old Compaq laptop with windows me installed.

Guest Greegor Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Re: ME AND WIRELESS ON LAPTOP 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. On Nov 27, 1:22 pm, "Mike M" <No_Spam@Corned_Beef.Only> wrote: > You should be able to add a wireless card to your laptop.

Guest Mart Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Re: ME AND WIRELESS ON LAPTOP 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.
