Old Asus Laptop Causing Problems

[JBRONCFAN]

I used to have one of those small, shiny black ASUS 1000He eee that ran WinXP and it rocked for it's time. I really missed that thing and for Christmas I got a replacement battery for it and I am so happy. That is until I deleted something I shouldn't have and now it's not making a wireless connection anymore. I'm am fuming mad!!!! Normally I would just reformat but I have no access to a 3.5 drive.

It's showing a red x on top of the tiny monitor in the bottom right corner like I am missing some drivers or something. Any suggestions would really be appreciated.

Download and reinstall the drivers? Put it on an USB stick or something.

Been trying to do that but with no success. Probably not downloading the correct drivers.

I GOT IT WORKING!!!!! I went into BIOS (pressing the F2 button) and for some reason the WLAN was disabled!!! Went in and changed it to enabled and VIOLA!!!!! It hasn't been used in 8 years so maybe it reverted back to it's stock settings......who knows but we are up and running!!!!!

Of course the smartphone is the most convenient but after a while your arm begins to hurt plus it's a small screen. A laptop is a little over the top especially when you have to drag it around with you. Netbook seems to be the perfect size.
