Would this solve the probs.......?

David, try running the soundcard setup file from the disk using administrator (run as administrator).  Don't let the cd run automatically but find the setup.exe file to run from explorer.  Running setups as administrator often cures problems installing stuff.  I know you are probably set up as an administrator account but that doesn't work the same in Vista as it did in XP.

[David]

No CD Alf thats why I thougtht replacing the card may do the job as I would get a CD I would presume.I got too invloved yesterday and was still on the thing well into the wee small hours (its my nature not to give in)I think the key is vista v xp I will switch the thing on in a while and try again

Thanks Alf

Any idea why this is on my boot up screen ?

The DHCP is a spinning bar

It just looks like an information message, David. Does the boot proceed as normal?

[David]

Yes no problem there at all just wondered what is..........I feel a trip to Maplins coming on 

[Rik]

Should have gone to Specsavers.

[David]

  Its pretty though you must agree

[Steve]

As Rik its just a bios info screen relating to the network adaptor


PS My first on a Macbook,its going to take some getting used to

I've seen that on my machine, when it's booting, when looking for a boot device it's trying to see if it can boot from the Network, David, you can stop it from trying but you would need to go into the BIOS to do it.

Keep us posted, Steve.

Suits me Ray I like it in there 

Do you know what area of the bios I need to adjust ?

[Rik]

Look at boot devices, David.

[Ray]

What Rik said David. 

[David]

  both 

[David]

But will a new sound card rectify ??
No point asking in Maplins I will come out with a set of speakers 

[Rik]

It won't rectify the boot message, it should get round the sound issue, but remember to disable the onboard adapter in the BIOS.

[David]

Thanks...............I will have this as a signature soon 

[David]

Changed the bios setting and that sorted out the spinning 

Now for a new sound card.....hope this sorts it out
