    Hi Guys, just to let everyone know. I had to do a fresh instal of XP b/c of a trojan virus had crippled my system. Anyway after the install I was installing the drivers on the XP cd that came with the machine, and I made the mistake of not updating XP. When I got down to the WiFi driver it would not instal, kept giving me an error like (devices not reconized in registry). I went on my main system and googled it and a few people out there had this problem, but I could not find a real solution.

    After a few hours of messing with it I decided to reinstal XP (again) but this time I wired up to the net before trying to install the drivers and downloaded every update $Microsoft$ had to offer. Then installed all the drivers on the disk from top to bottom and walla I had WiFi.

    Just wanted to let everyone with a new Sager know to be very careful when installing your drivers after a fresh install.

    What do you mean by not updating XP?
