Just double check on the Dell site that the drivers are there for XP, they should be but just in case. My HP laptops graphics card is Vista only

I installed a Sky router t'other day, didn't even unseal the envelope the CD came in

Can signon without the software on a usb modem as well as long as you have a PPoE driver for it

generally most of the AOL problems i've solved for friends are down to the software rather than the service.

I hate the aol software prefer to use firefox
but AOL Helix is good IMO.

Thats the only norton I like

[lostandconfused]

nothing ever comes for free, especially from AOL!

it may look at like a good deal, but you will pay for it as you would have an extended contract etc and higher prices over the course of the contract.

I would use a cheaper ISP and buy a cheapo laptop seperatly

That’s about right I'd say the cost of the laptop is factored in
