Hi tapia99 and welcome to the forum 🙂

This sounds as if you didn’t delete the existing partitions during the install process which is why there are still files hanging around from your previous installation. You have reinstalled XP because of a viral infection, so I would say it’s essential that you reformat your drive.

There’s an excellent guide to clean installing Windows XP by the Elder Geek, but to summarise and with grateful acknowledgement of his images:
[list=number]*When you get to stage where you’re shown the existing partitions, ensure you delete all the existing partitions:

*Next you will be asked to create a new partition. Set this to the maximum size to use the whole disk as the XP partition:

*Lastly you will be asked to choose the file system. Select ‘Format the partition using the NTFS file system:
[/list]

Once you have reinstalled Window XP on a clean reformatted HDD, you will need to install the wireless adpater’s driver from the other Samsung CD – the Samsung System Software Media disk which will look something like this:
.

Hope that helps 🙂

Welcome to the forum, unkreative, and thank you for sharing your review 🙂

I also use FF on a 50 Mbps line and it’s quick enough. More importantly, it has Adblock Plus and on my Sammy ‘MinuMenu’

Great signature – have you PM’d Jez to get your username changed?

Download, install and run CCleaner, DriverMax, Update Checker, Defraggler, and then ask us again.

Until you clean up and update your system and unless you provide more information, it’s really difficult to help you.

Sorry if that sounds tetchy – it’s been a long day 🙂

How about WD40?

[TCMuffin]

Note to self – must run Microsoft update 😉

Well handled, jeepers01, nicely put and the public rebuke is a useful reminder to all forum members 🙂

I’m running W7 Ultimate on my NC10 and it’s fine.

Unfortunately you can’t boot from an SD card.

I did find a clip to link to, but although it’s old it is not suitable for this forum

Oh go on. You’re amongst friends here. I promise not to tell anyone. Go on, Tony…..or send me a pm?

[TCMuffin]

Congratulations, Gerardo, you must be very proud 🙂

Right again, jeepers01 🙂

There must have been a problem with the 8.0.0.171 driver as this will not install under XP. So, I’m running 7.7.0.259.

I’ve just logged into my NC10 under Windows 7 and this driver is 8.0.0.171.
