Another question from me
A friend of mine lent me a copy of windows vista to install (the beta version that ms let certain people download) which he had burnt to disk.
As I didn’t have time to install it I just copied the contents of the disk to my hard drive. But once I got round to putting vista on my own disk the pc wont boot from it. All I did was burn everything I took off the original disk (via nero).
How do I make a bootable windows vista disk (cd/dvd rom)?
Any ideas?

I guess you need to somehow covert the data from the vista disk on your hard drive into a .iso or .bin disk image, then burn the image to dvd.
I'm not sure, but
alcohol 120% might be capable of this?

Has the laptop got an ethernet port? Can it connect to the router if you use a cable rather than wireless?
Just to check whether it's the router's wireless bit that needs fiddling with, that's all!

yes it does thats how im using it at the moment, cause of the problem.
also does having a netgear router and a belkin adapter effect this in anyway??
but on the belkin program its shows connection to the router not the internet.

It shouldn't matter at all, but belkin wireless gear has been known to cause headaches...
I think you might be right. If it's not down to the router's security settings (make sure it's set to broadcast the SSID and turn off WEP etc.) and the router is set to use 802.11 a/b/g then it does look like the belkin card might be the problem.
I use a netgear WG511T wireless card with a netgear DG834G router and it works great so if you end up exchanging the belkin card, I'd highly recommend the WG511T

Hehehe!
In internet explorer, type 192.168.0.1 into the address bar and press 'go'
A username and password prompt should appear. by default, the username is 'admin' and the password is 'password'.
You should then end up in the router's control panel. It works like a web page, down the left hand side you should see various options. Click on the 'wireless settings' (or similar) link and you should see the bits that you need to check or change. If they're not on that particular page, have a hunt around in the other settings pages. I can't be more specific because I'm not at home right now.
Come to think of it, if you've never been in the control panel before, you might find the cause of your problem! Sometimes, even though the AOL setup program says that it's enabled the wireless connection, it doesn't do it properly

Heres one for you then fella,
Just bought a new pc setup yesterday and was setting everything up.
Turned the pc and monitor and everything was fine but then the monitor suddenly lost signal and no matter what i did it wouldnt come back on.
Turned the pc off and back on and it was working again, kept the mouse moving and was fine, pc fully booted up but as soon as i didnt do anything for a few minutes the screen lost signal again and it wouldnt come back unless i restarted the machine, any ideas?

Sounds like it's going into hibernation mode on a very short time out!
Press 'start', 'control panel' then double click on 'Power Options'. Click on the 'hibernation' tab and turn hibernation off.
While you're there, have a look at the other tabs on the power options too. Make sure that everything is turned to 'Always on'.
If that doesn't solve the problem, then I think you need to take it back to the shop!
