I very successfully added a wireless program with a token that plugged into the USB port on a laptop running ME. It worked well until the old laptop died.

I lost all my folders that was on the left side of my Thunderbird screen. Such things as inbox, outbox, sent etc were there. I did an unexpected left clink in the folders area and everything disappeared. Thanks for any help!! Jane

Hi, My sister in law has a pc running windows me, how can she upgrade to windows xp to make use of her wireless internet connection, which will not work on me. As she is a pensioner she is looking for the cheapest way to do the above. Regards Frank

Are you sure that her computer has a Wireless device in it? If, not, then the upgrade to XP will not work. As far as I can remember that Me did have wireless capability, but one needed to add a wireless device.

Hi Joe, If I understand you correctly... If you were able to copy the TEXT file over to the Flash Drive then it is not a "Write Protect" issue. How are you trying to copy the HTML file? Is it the same way you copied the Text file ? You should be able to use Windows Explorer and just drag the file from your C: drive location to the Flash Drive. Regards, Kevin.

How do I find that out? I did paste the plain text file to the flash drive if that tells you anything. I could get the "view source" of that file, and could make changes on it, but could not save it.

It's not hard to find a brand new copy of XP for not too much money. I'd suggest she get someone knowledgeable to install it for her. A simple upgrade should work fine, but if she has someone else do it, she can ask that that back up her data first, just in case.

View source is not an editor. You need to open the file with a plain text editor or a HTML program. Then make changes and then it can be resaved. To view the file as a webpage, you would open it using a browser.

How does one copy an HTML file to a flashdrive? I have tried using "copy and paste" but the "paste" is greyed out on the flashdrive. Can't find any other way. Thank you.</HTML>

Did you try pasting it to Notepad, renaming it ____.html and then uploading to flashdrive. Unless it is on the ftp server you cannot "update" it. You can save it on your C drive and then update it but it changes wont be made unthe file on the server is updated. But, I guess you are aware of that. =========== How does one copy an HTML file to a flashdrive? I have tried using "copy and paste" but the "paste" is greyed out on the flashdrive.

Thanks for the reply.

The problem isn't the computers she owns, but with an unsecured wireless connection, anyone can use HER connection, and it will get traced back TO her. So hacking, piracy, child porn, or anything else someone does will be seen as something she did, and it's darned hard to prove otherwise.

The line to my computer was broken by snow falling and pushing it off the house. I am now using my daughter's wireless connection. It has no password. I do not intend to use this very long, but it brought up  couple of questions.   The wireless connection is connected to a box direct from the provider, and is in use by her sons. She uses the direct box only. The question is - - - is her connection secure with just the usual windows firewall & anti-virus. How safe are the computers connected to the wireless?   Bea
