yes sorry i just thought about that lol

erm....
well it came with a disc (obviously) but the disc dosn't want to boot no matter how i try to boot it (through control panel, through 'run', through 'my computer' etc)

I tried creating a wireless network but that dosn't show anything once it's created (nothing in the internet/network connections folder either)

when you plug the adapter in it does nothing and we have tried everything to get the CD going. The only problem is how do i google it if he hasn't got the internet. Would i work if i googled it from my comp and saved it to a disc then put it on his?

sorted now. I got it installed typed in the ssid and the WEP and it now works

it was on xp by the way

Anyway i now have another problem, i need the graphics driver for the laptop, but being the idiot my mate is he has lost the disc and dosn't know what the make of the graphics card is. I think it's an on-board graphics, but i don't know what make the motherboard is. The laptop is a samsung A10
