Hi,

This is a repost. The original post received no replies. I'm ready to
throw this computer in the trash. PLEASE help!!...

I am running Windows XP on my laptop, and I have a couple of cards that I
use for internet. One is a Motorola wireless adapter (because the computer
does not have built in wireless), and the other is a Verizon Air Card (for
mobile internet). The problem I'm having is that I have to keep reinstalling
these cards (using the driver discs) almost every time I switch from one to
the other. I never had this problem before. I just wiped out and reloaded
(with the stock restore disc), and it has not helped. I have also had
problems with a GPS device that plugs into the USB. I've had to reinstall
this a couple times too. The details are below:

Computer: Panasonic Toughbook CF-51
Wireless Adapter: Motorola WN825G
Verizon Air Card: Qualcomm PC5750

If more information is needed to answer this question, please let me know
and I'll get it ASAP. I don't know the type of card slot this is, but I know
it's the wider one, not the newer, skinnier slot.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

Thanks in advance,
Jason

Bear with it Jason. Multiple posts is just going to turn people off.
If anyone knows what to do they will respond. Remember, this is a
spare time, no charge job. Everyone does it for fun. So its Sunday
and mother's day in the US at least. So that might consume a few health
people.
