AskWoody LoungerWhat are the model numbers for the router and card?
Is the router set to send G and B signals?
Is your laptop’s adapter set to do the same?
Does your laptop/card work at your mother’s house? -

AskWoody LoungerI’m not sure how the Add New Hardware wizard knows for sure what driver it’s looking for.
I’m a little confused – you purchased a different card (that worked), but took it back because Hawking wouldn’t take their card back?
I’m going to try to do some more research tonight, and will see if I can come up with anything.

AskWoody LoungerI just downloaded the fe1200.exe file. Saw numerous directories and a handful of files, just like you said.
Let’s assume you’ve extracted all of the files to a diskette. What happens if you insert the diskette in your computer and run the INSTALL.EXE file? -

AskWoody LoungerWhat model is your Ethernet card? I’d like to download the drivers for myself and take a look at the files that are included in the download.
You’ve probably already tried this, but I thought I’d mention it anyway: if there is any sort of ReadMe, DOC or TXT file on the diskette, you might want to see what it has to say. Could contain directions for how to install the card/drivers.

AskWoody Lounger1) Right-click My Computer and choose Properties. Click on the Device Manager tab, and click the + next to Network Adapters. You should see an entry in the list relating to your Ethernet card. Click that entry and click Remove. Restart the computer and it should recognize the card as new hardware once again.
2) What kind of files are on the disk? Perhaps you have an EXE file that decompresses the driver files to a location on your hard drive. Perhaps you could download new drivers from the PC card manufacturer’s web site.
Good luck!

AskWoody LoungerIs there any chance you could explain the sequence of quotation marks? I understand the shell statment is looking for a string; Is it that preceeding a quotation mark with a quotation mark will cause the 2nd quote to become part of the string? (am I making sense?).
Thanks,

AskWoody LoungerThere is a way to do a soft (refresh?) install of Windows.
Have you tried removing/reinstalling the printer? How about with newer drivers? If you have more than one printer installed, do they work as expected?
Thanks,
