New computer blues

Well, it got to the point where we could get no access to the Internet on the old tower due to a recalcitrant Motherboard, so we decideed to bite the bullet and go for a new tower. You would think that the trouble would be over wouldn't you? WRONG The troubles were only taking a different turn.

Seems that the old Dynex wireless access point wouldn't play nice with the new tower, as it runs Vista as opposed to the old tower which ran XP....and the company didn't have any drivers to make it run on Vista...soo...off to the local rip-off joint Bestbuy to buy a new, compatible wireless access point....at three times the cost of the old one..oh well, that's life.....get it home, go through the steps to install the driver and hardware in the right places and get on the 'Net, right?

WRONG
Seems that the WAP couldn't find the router that was only 35 feet away in favor of someone else's wireless net..but at a signal strength that wouldn't allow access. (bad enough to be stealing piggybacking on someone else's net, but to not be able to get access too?!? )

Got a Geeksquad guy coming on Friday to try to get things straightened out (you'd think at the prices they charge, you wouldn't have to wait three days to get shorn of your hard-earned cash) I just hope that he can get things running as they should. Otherwise, we blew a lot of money for a fancy way to play Solitaire and Mah Jong, and the old stower had better versions of those in any case.

It really frosts my non-technological ass to pay good money and STILL not have a functioning piece of gear.

Gotta go, my 30 minutes on the Library computer is up.

1 I'm living the dream. Had to get a new tower last week and voila . . .the printer isn't recognized. Vista. What a racket.

2 my laptop has the Vista..I like it but it ain't compatible with my printer and scanner.. My tower with XP is going on three years old..I just hope it last another year or so..the damn things are just to high dollar to be replacing every year
