Sounds like it might be a hardware problem to me, when it does feel like booting up, do you get any strange errors occasionally or wierd things happening like freezing up, restarting itself etc?

Ok, since I got no replies to my topic about Aerials for tv cards on laptops, i'll ask the proffesionals.
Quite simply, I want to be able to watch tv on my laptop, prefferably freeview channels (or if possible, some way to connect my Sky digital to my laptop).
What hardware/softare would I need?

Yeah, I got WME. Also have the PCMIA tuner card.
I'm just not sure how to get the channels. I did once plug a basic £5 indoor aerial, but at best I got 2 very unclear channels.
Do I need a special tuner card aerial, or can I use any indoor aerial?

You don't need a special aerial, a PC tuner is exactly the same as the tuner in a standard TV. And like with TVs, indoor aerials are a bit hit and miss! It's best to buy a good quality (ie quite expensive) one, preferably with a built in battery powered signal booster / amplifier.

"Yes, the video memory will be shared in all but the most expensive laptops, but the 9200 should be sufficient for the type of games that you want to play." Thanks Cycovision, I received the laptop and going thru upgrading stages with software! Thanx4ur willingness2help!

Thanks Cyco. Would I be able to receive freeview digital channels then? Also, any ideas on how to hook up sky digital/sattelite to a laptop?

You can only get freeview if your PCMCIA tuner card is capable of recieving freeview, standard tuner cards can't. The box and / or documentation that came with it should tell you whether it's freeview capable or not.
As far as I know, you can't get cards that will allow you to watch sky digital on a computer. The only way round it would be to use a standard sky digital box (that you plug into the telly) and plug it into the aerial socket of your tuner card but that kind of defeats the object!
