Glad your new laptop is working out for you Bob.

One thing I find though with it is in the network icon that you click on the desktop my gaming PC does not show up all the time.

Right now the only PC listed under the network screen is the Dell.

Then sometimes later it will say Corey-Antec the name of the gaming PC I built.
I can not figure out what that is.

Also I installed the Yahoo Widgets this morning, as I run it on all my PCs for the weather widget.

It is crashing when you come into Windows Vista, and shuts down.
Sometimes it works.

Just got back from my friends to show him my laptop, and it worked perfectly over there.
Come back here and Yahoo Widgets shuts down.
I saved the error text, I will submit it to Yahoo.

Oh, I am not into hijacking other wireless setups either, but when I took out the laptop over there he asked me if I needed a cat 5 cable to hook up to his router.
I told him to hang on a second...

I scanned the wireless network and it found 5 connections in his neighborhood, 3 were unsecured.

Connected to one of them right away at 6 megabits per second, which is darn fast.

People really need to setup a password when they create a wireless network in their home.
