Careful with the "f bombs". If you really want rid of the system, you should be able to sell and get a few bars of silver (whatever your currency denomination is) for it and you can put towards a new rig. Installing the Realtek driver for the wired Ethernet adapter will allow you to get on-line, by the way if you can physically connect to your router.


Thank you for your time and consistent effort to help me, but..

I'm done with this pC. This is going out the <<edited by moderator>> window. Time for a long overdue upgrade.
