I just got a new (used) laptop from ebay. it's a dell latitude or whatever and it's from 2001. Anyway, it doesn't have any word programs on there (except for wordpad - which isn't too great)
and I'd like to get word perfect or open office on there. The thing is, I'm trying to copy it from the PC to my USB data travler thing to my laptop and I can't do it! Open office is free, but I'm having trouble getting the laptop to take it. HELP!
oh, it has wireless, but when I went to the connections part there was a red X over it. Is that because I'm not in a wireless area?
then, I hooked it up to the the PC's DSL cord and it wouldn't go on. It said that I needed to make a new connection and I tried to, but I couldn't make that work, either.
Thanks for the help, it's really appreciated. I mean, I'm a English major (so the laptop is a great thing) but I'm not as technologically advanced as some.
THANKS AGAIN!
ps - the USB works just fine otherwise so that's not the problem
