*glares in the direction of the broadband router*

I'm afraid I won't be around tonight guys - the router has decided to pack in again, and Dad had already gone to bed before I fired the laptop up - so I can't get the damn thing rebooted.

I'm currently on dial-up (had to sign up to a new account, as my old dial-up has expired for lack of use) and I really don't like being charged by the minute anymore, so I'm not sticking around.

Catch you guys tomorrow!

So I didn't get to sort out my computer in the end...

I spent ages wiping the hard-drive and installing Curtains 98 SE in place of plain ol' Curtains 98, and then tried to install the drivers for my wireless network doobrie-whatsist. But what ever I did, it's not recognising the usb device...

This is so getting on my nerves...*sigh*

It's an improvement though - it wouldn't even let me install the drivers before!

I'd put XP on the system, but that's an extra £90 I can't spare, and it's an old PC - Pentium II with a 4gig hard-drive and just 64 meg of ram. It did have 192mg - but that's a whole 'nother rant that I don't want to get into...

And 'sides, I don't think my scanner is XP compatible - the graphics software that came bundled with it certainly isn't.
