So in effect after looking on you tube I can take the card from a spare defunct machine and just swap it over then ?


No more questions promise

Well these is one last one which I am confused about .................when I plug the now new card in will the back of my macine have in effect 2 ports for ethernet cable as existing one seems intergrated to the mother board and I am assuming when I plug the one I am just about to collect from Maplins into the white board inside it will overide and connect up but appearance wise the machine will have 2 plugs showing if that makes sense
Best get some cat5 whilst over there ...................

The machine will indeed have two ethernet ports, it will not override  the original ethernet port, it will be separate.

I have a question for you then. How do I remove the Metropolitan Police virus from an XP laptop without rebuilding it? I've followed the guides but it seems to have morphed a little since they were written.

Can't access the desktop, can't boot into any other mode - blue screens, can't run malware programs when the drive is slaved into another drive. I've been trying to fix it for the past 4 hours  :hairpull:

Thanks Rik I have got the new part now as I said and catching up on work before I turn it off as I need this one but nearly there then no presurre to get things done then I will power this down and fit this card and it comes with a disc so will read the manual first I thought the system would detect it but I will read the manula first for once  ;)
I know I joke but really do feel an idiot at times for not knowing these things even the guy in the shop said its the easiest job in the world !!!! thats like saying understanding ISO is the easiest thing ..... only if you understand it  :)
:thnks:  All its appreciated more than you will know

It really should be straight forward locate the card and boot the PC, Windows 7 should self install the drivers for the new hardware without your intervention.

Thanks Steve the unknown can be scary but lets hope the change of card and the cat 5 lead solves it at last

After this, though, David, it will no longer be the unknown. ;)
