Hello! I was hoping you computer geeks could help me with something. Preferably somebody with experience. Tonight, I decided to help my friend out by taking her computer home and putting a fresh install of windows on it.

Problem? Her wireless card would only work for a certain amount of time, before the computer crashed and when you turned it back on it showed up as not installed in the device manager. Sometihng else strange I noticed was the IEEE 1394 host controller was giving a yellow explanation mark – error code 10.

So I decided to try to reinstall the network card drivers, the same ones I used before, and guess what? Pretty much said they were the wrong drivers! They definitely weren’t. I’m not retarded, but I could really use some help with this.

Also, I’m not an expert, so wondering.. Are IEEE 1394 host controller and the Wireless card connected?
I shoulda mentioned all the drivers are fully updated.. =\

it uses 802.11b/g WLAN, it finds networks available, but when I click connect, it states windows is unable to connect to the network…why??

I was wondering if it is difficult to upgrade memory on a computer because I was thinking of upgrading my computer’s memory?
