If you can still get onto the internet you can down load all the drivers you need from the BT web site.

Hi, I have the Advent notebook 4489 and I have problems connecting to my Sky wireless router. There is not a problem with my router as I am on my other laptop fine with it!! I have done the FN F11 function and its switched on! I have no idea how to get the computer to find the router! I clicked on “view available wireless networks” and I got the message “Windows cannot configure this wireless connection” i ahve no idea what to do now
ive NEVER had this problem with any other computer! Someone please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am assuming the laptop has wireless here. First you dont need the BT software, just note the SSID and the Passcode from the back of the bt hub. Set the wireless to search for a network to connect to. Click the one that matches the SSID you noted, put in the passcode and voila you should be shortly on the internet.The BT software is really not needed but if you want it you can now download it direct to the laptop. If you dont have wireless then get a network cable connected to the hub and you should be able to connect to the internet without any problems with the default setting of the hub and network card.
Using another PC, copy the CD to a memory stick and copy to the notebook from that.
You might copy the files to a memory stick. I would go ahead an get the external drive. At some point you will need to reload the OS
Option (1): Goto the AOL website to download the necessary setup program directly to your hard drive and run from your hard drive.
Option (2): Copy the setup program to a USB thumb drive and run from the USB thumb drive.
You could do what the last person said to do by also going to a hot zone and doing your download.
