    oki with my mams laptop she has to press a button once's windows has loaded to enable the hardware radio (built in 54g wireless) I thought I'd be better if that wasn't the case.
    Like if it would just connect on start up, So anyone know how to make it do this? :)

    The button used to turn on the WiFi is probably controlled by a small application (possibly running in the taskbar) - there should be an option within this which will turn on the WiFi at startup.

    Just out of interest, what make/model laptop is it?

    Hey :) ,

    It's a Advent 7083
    I've made it use The RaLink software rather than, windows, Wich is lots faster to activate.
