Someone with a little vista experience please!

UPDATE AGAIN:
Everything was $%&#ed so I've reinstalled Vista and all the appropriate drivers. I've transferred the music and pictures and documents etc. manually because that makes far more sense and is quicker anyway. iTunes, Open Office, AVG etc. are all installed and working well. Now just need to sort out the original problem; making the $%&#ing wifi work!! :lol:

What wireless card does it have btw? My mum got a netgear one for hers and that wouldnt connect for her unless you connected via the netgear program rather than the thing windows has. Could be worth seeing if it has its own program and set it to connect through that if it does.

It's a Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-Card. That's an interesting point; I'll look into it.

Apparently Vista doesn't work with WPA-PSK passkeys at all. Useful.
I've had to change to WEP security; not as good, but hopefully there's not too many people hacking into our network up here in the middle of nowhere. The internet now works on every computer :D

So, either I could work in a physics department with a whole load of spoddy gimps, or I could work split between chemistry and biology with access to the spoddy gimps for when I need some geek humour, and access to all the fitties who work in biology.

Who's the silly boy now? :)

(oh, and X-ray crystallography to determine 3D protein/ligand complex structures is hardly "biology")

I'll give you tele-loving hippy, you Beatles fan, you!

:D

Spods need love too! Everyone knows the hotties are in pharmacy, something I learned very quickly in my biomolecular classes. I was one of the 4 fellas surrounded by 90 + SMOKING hotties. Not a munter in sight!

Does a PhD in Chemistry and Pharmacology count? I'm not asking, I know it does. :)

LOL!


It's more like

"Are you sure you want to copy this file?"
"Are you sure you're sure you want to copy this file?"
"Are you sure you're sure?"
"Are you sure you're sure that you're sure?"
"Are you sure you're sure that you're sure that you're sure?"

"1 down, 5000 more to go!"

"Are you sure you want to copy this file?"
"Do not ask me again for this file (WHAT???).... YES"

"it took longer to check the box and hit yes than it did to click yes 5 times without having to move the mouse...."

2 hours later....

"I have carpal tunnel from clicking the mouse"

[indysmith]
