So I picked this up for cheap... should have known better

I've had it for three months or so and have only got wifi working once, only to cause a fatal XP error. The installation CD seems to be missing files; online research has given very little helpful advice. I'm pretty much convinced this thing is junk, but if anyone has had any luck with it, please post!

Gambia, The
first you install the programm on the cd, then you plug the dongle in.
after that another install window will pop up and asks you about the drivers. Now you have to pick them manually
out of the cd driver directory and THEN it should work.

It is all explained here: http://forums.driverguide.com/showthread.php?t=26010
I had the same problems but after some tries it worked.

if its 11g..i read somewhere that DS uses 11b and you need a 11b or 11b/g adapter, not one that is 11g only. That could be the issue with yours. I've got an 11b/g and i still can't get it to work myself.

    now, back to what I was doing last night: going insane because Firefox can't set the new tab page to your custom new tab page-- apparently as a security issue
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yes that was also mentioned in the links I posted
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    @ZucchiniMaiden No no, it was a blank install of XP, I installed the software afterwords lol
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I would not recommend using a product key generator to generate keys, you can find em on the internet relatively easy. And as for Windows XP keys, a certain GitHub page has them. :P

    Now, hmm...
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Is there a Firefox feature in like maybe about:config to change the new tab page to the home page?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Settings > Home > Change 'New Tabs' to anything.

    "New Tabs" only has Firefox Home or Blank Page
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, There's the Windows Genuine Advantage that got implemented in SP3 if I remember which checked the license of your Windows installation to see if the key was either pirated or whether it's been activated.

    It got a lot of controversy because it acted in a way like spyware, but really who cares, Microsoft likes to spy on you.

    If you can't download windows directly from Microsoft always expect risks never know what user could leave out during re-upload

    Unless you got a physical copy of a os which can be found at thrift shops
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Always expect risks on outdated versions of Windows, there's probably a dozen or more vulnerabilities for XP that haven't been patched after the EternalBlue exploit that got leaked from the NSA.

    I get the retro vibe of it but he's using a vm worst case just right click delete kind of crazy not to be using up to date software if your system can handle it

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I'm running it on a VM, but it's more up-to-date with the latest security patches. There's not a single Wi-Fi adapter connected to this VM. And just to make sure nothing bad happens, I make daily snapshots.

    speaking of retro vibes, what are your favorite keyboard shortcuts to get around your favorite apps?
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I feel like if I learned the shortcuts, browsing could be way more efficient

    Playing with old os is fun in a vm only os I'd actually dual boot is Linux and call it at that

    That's how I got started with Linux. Ran Debian 12 in VMware Workstation to test something out.
