Computers without working wireless antennas may be upgraded with either an internal or external wireless LAN card. To connect to your favorite Internet hotspot or home network,
You must finish the installation by installing the device’s drivers–files that allow the device to communicate with your operating system. You can have Windows install the drivers, let Windows update the drivers or manually install the latest drivers yourself.

Boot up your computer. Insert the installation and drivers disk included with your wireless LAN card. Click on “Start the Installation,” “Install the Software” or another similarly titled phrase.
Follow the onscreen prompts. Shut down the computer and install the card into an available slot on your motherboard, if applicable, then restart the computer. (Some older cards such as
Linksys’ internal WMP54G require you to install preliminary software prior to physically installing the card.) Finish the installation. http://www.papatek.com/PCI-Wireless-LAN-Card
Install the Drivers Via Windows
Install your internal card. Boot up the computer.
Connect to the Internet after Windows loads, then insert your external wireless LAN card.
Allow Windows the opportunity to automatically detect your device and to install drivers. Manually Update Drivers
Click on “Start,” then “Control Panel.” Click on “Classic View” in the left column, if available.
Open “System.” Click on “Device Manager” in Windows Vista and in Windows 7. Click on the “Hardware” tab, then “Device Manager” in Windows XP.
Double-click “Network Adapters,” then double-click your previously installed wireless LAN card. (You must install your LAN card prior to updating the drivers, or it not be listed in the Device Manager.)
Click on the “Driver” tab. Click on “Update Driver,” then “Search Automatically” or “Browse My Computer” if you downloaded drivers from the manufacturer’s website. Follow the onscreen prompts to finish the driver installation.

One way to effectively kick people off is to discover who they are. Devices can be used to locate the source (home, apartment, etc) of a signal accessing your connection. At the same time, programs used by hackers can hack their connections as well, allowing you to monitor until info is found to identify your suspect. If either method is successful, hire a lawyer and sue the scum for all he has – including his computer.

i use wpa2 (AES) with a 63-character long password consisting of random upper-case, lower-case, numbers and symbols. Hopefully this will be enough to secure my network….

Try going to the manufacturers web site and downloading and installing the driver manually. Either the computer maker or the lan card maker should have it.

It's a tad out of date. 1 gb of ddr2 is not a lot of memory, especially for vista. CPU is ok…it could be worse.
Maybe 60-70 pounds (100 USD)
Depends what the buyer is willing to pay.

It's probably not going to play Crysis very well (you need a more powerful graphics card than HD 4650)
It might be playable if you turn the effects all way down and run at low resolution.

Remember MAC Addresses can be spoofed. But hiding the SSID, WPA2, and MAC filtering is usually more than enough to stop the script kiddie next door

Also i wanted to add that most people run WRT54g linksys router, the best thing i can say is go with DDWRT firmware, gives LOADS of features that most people will probably never use.

@mewrox99 I agree, i always setup WPA2 and mac filter, i run alot of wireless stuff so hiding doesnt work in my case.
Its too easy to spoof MAC’s, also WEP is easily cracked, would not suggest it either.

you need to be advanced in understanding details about the differences between Vista and XP. If you try to install XP from the hard disk with Vista OS, it will not response you. So you need to shut down the system and insert the XP installation CD then restart. But there are many problems due to somehow differences between 2 windows specially in installing drivers. After you install XP you must need to have VistabooPro or EasyBCD.
I had to try several times installing dual boot with preinstalled Vista, but finally I passed the test. Now I have both Vista and XP in 2 separate local drives, and use anyone whenever needed. You can try the following links about details procedure and requirements -

Consider contacting Sony Support and have them assist you with resolving the restored, but lost files. It is a little more complex than usual in that the transition from XP to Vista is also involved.
Hope this helps.
