Good, at this stage it's re-activate (if you need to over the web)
Install AVG Free - by the way untick Perform daily scans during install during setup.

Do all the hundreds of Windows security updates.

So forth so forth

Install your firewall

return your backup

and this job is solved !

I hope you have found the service from TechSpot satisfactory
 
I certainly have, and thank you for your patience.

I know I've taken a lot of your time, but one more question please. . . I see that I have a LAN or High-Speed Internet 1394 Connection that is "Connected." It says the Status is "Connected", the duration is 15.31 and counting and the speed is 400.0 Mbps. But there is no activity no packets received.

Yet I can't connect to the internet. Am I supposed to do someting else.
 
Back again !

How are you connecting to the Internet ? Ethernet ? Wireless ?

Usually on broadband you just Open IE from a clean install all should just work
 
yes, dying to put Zone Alarm and AVG on the laptop (I've already downloaded them to the desktop computer).

Wireless. We have a linksys G in the office that my cell phone, Dell Axim, and laptop connect to. But the laptop says no connection to the internet is available. I recall the laptop searching for a connection when we first got it and it simply asked for the security number (if I recall correctly).
 
Ok

the wireless usually must be set up with a WEP number, or at least the the laptop mac address allowed in the office router. Are there any support people there, as I do not wish to upset your office network.

Possible someone has created a network floppy disk or usb drive that sets up all computers individually.

Actually, have all the drivers been loaded ?

Please look in System in Control Panel
Go to HardWare then Device Manager
And confirm there are no little yellow querrie marks

It there are, then you may need to put the Restore disc in, in Windows.
This may have a startup screen saying install drivers
 
no support people here. . . this is my home. My sole support (my wife) has been complaining that I've been messing around with the computer to much :).

I do have the Wep code as I've had to enter it on my Dell Axim to allow it to connect to the internet.

I check the devices and there are several yellow question marks under "other devices" which include:
Ethernet Cotroller
Mass Storgae Controleer
Multimedia Audio Controller
Network Controller
PCI Mdem
Video Controller
Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
 
Well that aint good !

All those drivers need to be installed
Do you have other Driver discs ? or as I mentioned before the Restore Disc in Windows, maybe it pops up a message to install the drivers

Basically the motherboard Disc

No, the only disc that came with the laptop was the system recovery disk. My desktop came with several discs (OS, applications, and a drivers disk).

And I up the creek?

believe it or not, had (have) trouble finding it (or which one it is). It's either
1MA20000949 or
BMCW538061L or
T3659K1006815 (I think this is it as the link you sent said something about either 10 or 13 digits.
 
I downloaded the packet it gave me and put on my desktop. It says setup needs .net framework. I'll do a google search for this.

I assume they mean version 2.0?

O.k., I will.

2.0 just finished now. I'll get the rest now.

Once these are installed, should I just be loading the driver for the internet or all of the drivers (I don't know if the group Gateway gave me might have updates to my old drivers?)

1.1 wouldn't install (perhaps b/c I had already installed 2.0).

3.0 wouldn't install because it kept trying (5 times) to "re-establishing connection with the server."

As I said, 2.0 installed. After that, the Gateway driver pack did open and it said it installed. I'm not sure it installed drivers. It may have only install something called the Gateway assistant?

I'm on!

I downloaded the individual drivers and after the installs I was able to see available networks and connect and enter my Wep ID.

I wonder why they didn't intall with the disc. Oh well. Thanks so much. Really, I greatly appreciate the amount of time you spent addressing my numerous issues.

At some point, I may post a question about my desktop hard drive C: H: drive swap. But I'm worn out and I know you I certainly took up way to much time. Thanks again!
 
There has been some concern put to me on 75 Posts but I believe everyone is valid

Basically you have been walked through step by step.
This takes a long time.

I think though this thread should close now, any further issues, just create another one.

That was fun :)
