I cannot start up or get wireless broadband working on my now 4 month old PC and two year old desktop. Both run Microsoft windows. Laptop is Vista and Desktop is XP.

I have tiscali broadband and that's okay.
Wireless is for the laptop but I cannot get it started either with a router or with a modem and router.
I cannot get the desktop to accept modem/router or router alone.
Nothing works.
Yet Currys tell me that they work and are used by households.
The laptop is useless without the internet and I am not sure what is going worng.
Installation works on the desktop but will not work afterwards.
Installation will not work even on the laptop.
Anybody able to help?
Technicians gave me such a labryrinth of explanations that I returned their make.

I'm sure people can think back to when their 14, where your stressed and got tons of hormones racing through you. The problem is; the only way I can really relax is looking at stuff online. I've heard it's addictive! so I only go on about twice a month 3 tops. I know my Mom and Dad would be angry as hell if they found out so how can I makesure they don't find out. I have my own computer, but is there any other way of finding out?

Thanks and oh! please no negative answers.

I bought a laptop screen off ebay. The guy claims it worked when it left his place. But the first one I got was cracked easy to tell. Mine is cracked though and it still works. Cant see very good though that is why I bought a diffrent one. I didnt want to spend 250 for new one so I matched up the resoultion and the size. He claims he does it all the and they work fine. I have asked firedog, geeksquad, computer friend nobody really seems to know this answer. I have read that they are not interchangable. They manf. do this on purpose so you will have to buy there product. I also know some are interchangable. Any help would be great. Thanks Drew
