my friend has bought a new computer today from Currys. It has Windows Vista
on (I don't know which version of vista) She has 160gb Hard drive, 1GB Ram not sure what processor. When she tries to install the Virgin Broadband software/disc it tells her she has no ethernet card. I checked for her that her ethernet port not only showed in network connections but was enabled but still no joy. Virgin are no help as they say it is a hardware problem and not with theirr broadband. I know I haven't given much info but any ideas would be grately appreciated! Thanks In Advance Maria x |

You don't need to use the virgin broadband disk to use the service
Just make sure windows is set up to auto detect network settings and it should work fine "mariaw04" wrote in message ... my friend has bought a new computer today from Currys.
