I'm a total newbie here - hope someone can help me:-)
I have a laptop running XP. I generally run it wireless, acessing the internet via my Emac, which has an internal router. My wireless card is a D-Link DWL 650+.
A coupl eof weeks ago, I noticed that if I was browsing the net using IE, it would drop out after a few minutes. Re-boot and I can browse again, but only for a few minutes again. Closing IE and reopening didn't fix it.
I though it might be the browser, so I downloaded Firefox, but it behaves exactly the same. MSN Messenger runs throughout, even if th ebrowser has stopped.
Not sure about email, since I don't use my laptop for email.
I then though it might be a wireless problem, so I connected the laptop straight to the modem. Same problem.
So I'm stumped! I'm loath to reinstall XP, because that's going to cost me to pay someone to do it, since I don't have any means of storing all my data while I re-install.
Any ideas anyone?
Many thanks
Philip
