The problem Im having is that I bought a wireless USB adapter..when I put the
installation cd in..the computer tells me that windows in not compatible and
it wont let me download the installation..the computer runs fine but its so
old it doesnt even have a ethernet card in it so I cant even just plug it in
to the router
