as not online yet, and when i get to a stage of the instalation process it says please insert driver disk so i do and it does nothing.
then after that i tried to play a DVD just to see if the drive works
looked on media player and the DVD is nowhere to be seen

If I buy a wireless router from BT (which is what broadband I have) can I just plug it in to my desktop like my current one is and it will work? Or do I need to connect the laptop and router up? Will my monthly broadband stay the same or will it go up? I'm very confused, please help.

My son spilled green tea (without sugar) on my brand new hp pavillion. I've cleaned all the tea with toilet paper and then blow dried the thing for 1/2 an hour. Previously I took the battery and the sd card without using "safe to remove". The laptop is now, apparently, working in full order but it keeps saying that my sd card is still attached. I "safe remove it" as if it would be there but soon it appears connected again. Do you think this is related with the "unsafe removal" or has my laptop short-circuited? What should I do? Thanks for any help I can get!
