[]. “Life is not the amount of breaths you take. It’s the moments that take your
breath away.”
Bought a 2nd hand Acer8200 Travelmate. 2GHz Core Duo/1G 667DDR2. NICE machine, but I just couldn't handle the 63(literally) programs running in the background on idle. Attempts to uninstall OEM prog's seemed to take hours, & just frustrated me even more. Reformatted laptop with Win. XP Pro. (NTFS - instead of the original FAT32) It's SOO much quicker - just can't figure out how to install network drivers. CANNOT access network or I/N't no matter what I try. Never had any real prob's with the other 3 desktops I built, or the home network set - up. Obviously, I have exceeded my capabilities this time! Can anyone point me in the right direction. I feel like a real fool. Many thanks.[/i]
