So basicly i've got 2 questions.

1) so i'm buying a notebook today, it doesn't have wifi built in, but has wifi capabilities. so, my buddy has the little usb-port wifi cards. its 802.11g, by linksys, i might buy it from him.....what i'm wondering, is......is there a noticable performance, or any diffrenece between the small usb-port wifi cards, and the larger-notebook specific cards? like will i have less of a signal? or slower performance? bascily, anything between the two?

2) if i do end up buying the small usb-port wifi card from him. he says he doesn't have the disk anymore. Do i HAVE to have the disk? to get started? or can i just plug in the wifi, and it'll hook up to the internet and just download it.....bascily, anyway around not having the setup disk?????

thanks

What I mean is, can you clean your LCD screen without worrying about damaging the LCD since there might be a screen in front of the LCD itself?

Well, for starters I'm a Comcast customer from Northern Colorado. I've had this service for two years and all the while it's been excellent and I've had no complaints regarding speed or accessibility. As of last Friday, however, I've been having issues with internet slow-downs that cripple any chances of so much as a pleasant internet experience. E-mail accounts that take 10 minutes to load, movies that will not even start, 10 mb downloads taking 30 minutes. I'm a highspeed internet client with a very fast connection. I tried fixing it myself by resetting the router. This seemed to fix the problem! But a few minutes go by and I'm back down to 9kb a minute. It's painful. Does anyone have this problem? Is it a router problem? I'm connected directly to the router and the router itself is secured with WEP encryption, I've checked the client list and it's just me on it, also shutting down all other pc's on the network and power cycling the entire thing fixes the problem only a few minutes..

pls help me - when I log into my yahoo I keep getting this message. I have looked for help on the internet but it is all complicated. Please can someone help me fix this but using "Laymans" terms ( I am not a website deisgner or neither do I understand source codes etc) Plain and simple English will do...thanks

My Yahoo page is fine and then I log into Yahoo and it is all over the place with little blue blocks everywhere (everything is to the left and doesn't look like it normally does)

and the font is also different and things are all over the place. From what I can figure out it is a Java script error (have no idea what this means) but that is just a guess. I have te re-submit my question because the "edit" function is not available on the messed up page. It is driving me mad!!

I am trying to connect to my wireless router. It is my friend's router. He just moved in and we got set up with DSL. The router was set up on his computer. There is no encryption on it. My friend can connect. I cannot. I am sitting right next to it and there are full bars but when I try to connect, it says the network is out of range. What might I do?

I have a wireless network set up in my home and it keeps crapping out, but only on one of the 4 computers connected, what's wrong? The spped and signal strength are as strong as possible, but the connection still breaks, usually every couple minutes. The microwave breaks the connection, but the connection breaks even when the microwave is off. This problem has only started occuring in the last 2 months. Do I need a new wireless card for my PC? I have tried rebooting the modem and router, but that has neither helped nor hindered the performance of the internet on the computer. By the way, this computer is closer to the router than any other computer in my house so that makes the connection issues that much more baffling to me. Please help.

I have a document that was programmed to work only with IE 5.0 and later but I know I've downloaded an add-on to Safari (Mac version) before that allowed me to view documents that were restricted to IE browsers. I can't remember what it was an where I got it. I'm certain it was for Safari although if anyone has a suggestion for Firefox, I'd be open to that. Can anyone help?

my computer says it has spyware and the guy that is fixing the computer said the infected file is csrss.exe. What file is that? He says we should put Kaspersky on the computer because it's the best antivirus software. Is it really and if it's not what is the best antivirus and spyware software? Preferably inexpensive software. Thanks...

There are tons of competitors out there. Yahoo Messenger, AIM, Skype, Webphone, the list goes on and on.

What's the best PC to PC calling service that also can integrate with making calls to and from the regular phone network?

Criteria to consider is popularity, cost, ease of use, cool features.
