i reformatted my hard drive the other day.everything is fine.but when i try to install broadband again it just freezes.is there anything else that has to be done after a format??
what type of broadband as in dsl or cable & how does it connect to the computer by usb cable or network cable??
What were you installing: Modem Drivers (if you have a USB Connecting Modem), Network Drivers (if you have a Network Connecting Modem) or the pants software that the ISP gives you. Dave
im installing network drivers.its eircom wireless broadband so it connects to my pc with a network cable.and when i say install broadband i mean putting in the cd and installing the software for the wireless modem
Did you get your problem sorted yet Pontius ? I had a similar problem about a year and a half ago with the Eircom broadband. If I remember correctly, when you put in the software cd, you get two options, something like "Wireless" or "Ethernet", something like that anyway. So as Eircom say this is wireless broadband and if I remember correctly they supply you with a netopia modem. So as you would, I selected "wireless" when installing and and the software would install some way and just stay on 50% until I knocked it off. This had me puzzeled so I rang Eircom and they said I must have a wireless card in my pc which I didn't when installing as I planned on getting one the next day. This is supposedly the reason why the software wouldn't load. I selected the other option and the software loaded and I just used a long ethernet connection and it worked fine. Eircom are thiefs with the price of their broadband. I got away and am with magnet now and am very happy Don't know if this will help, but hopefully Sandisk
