Yes, it was their April Fool's Joke last year, the adverts for it were hysterical. When you clicked on it to see what it was, it was just too funny, you got your internet access through the toilet. FAQ's were hysterical!! It was all over the news.

I too would say this pc might be a good candidate for linux, you can try it out with out installing it by getting one of the live cd's, you just put it in your cd drawer then boot up the pc from the cd and choose to run the linux cd, you can then test it out and see how it works on that pc, you can try your wireless and see if it finds it and recognizes it, some distros like Mepis have a special built in assistant to aid in things like that. If you like it and everything works well while using the cd you can choose to install it to that pc. But if you decide you did not want to all you have to do is hit shutdown on the pc and remove the linux cd from the drawer, next time you reboot it will be back using your windows. Nothing was changed while using the cd. Here is a site with lists of many linux versions and links to where you can buy them for a few bucks. Linux At the very least I agree with mxyplx get your IE updated or even better go get the firefox browser and use it instead. Firefox Also check the manufacturers site for your wireless card many do offer windows 98 drivers but you have to go get them and install them, did your paper work for your card mention anything about windows 98 drivers?

Call your isp support line. They should be happy to talk you through setting up the connection. I assume its a regular dial up account ... just plugging the laptop phone wire into a phone jack may pop the windows dial up connection wizzard. If not, its accessable in IE tools, internet options, under the Connections tab. Set up a new connection! You'll need the dial up phone number and your user login name and password.

Oh Kat , your a funny bunny. It does not matter how slow you go, as long as you do not stop. Confucius My dd for some odd reason thinks it's funny to sit in the backseat as we drive along the road in the city and read off all the unsecured internet names that pop up on the laptop. Laughing at the ones with silly names. She is such a nerd. A cute nerd tho.
