Computers & Internet - 22 September 2007

I didn't have the start up disk. At that point I should have just took it in to a shop or found the right boot disk,,,anyway I I installed another copy of WinXP that i had for another computer. Now I can't find my wireless modem or any of my drivers. Can't even watch a DVD. Will the boot disk help at this point?

it says that windows has detected spyware infection and it recomends that i click on it to download appropiate antispyware software.

in my experience this always opens up a can of worms and generally buggers the computer up. does anyone know of any free antispyware removal programs that will deal with this?

I have a DSL modem that can only connect to my pc via USB. However, I have a wireless router from Netgear that I want to use to go wireless. It only has ethernet ports so can I share my internet connection from my pc wirelessly by connecting the router to my pc's ethernet slot?

i.e. modem to pc (via usb), pc to wireless router (via ethernet)

After upgraded from XP to Vista I can't seem to make my TV show my laptop screen. (Fn+F7 does nothing)
