Hey guys, he got the PC today! For some sucky reason (not the fault of PCS) the wireless USB wont work properly so he can't get it online >:

However, here are some pics to make you smile

Looks great! Need any help with the wireless?

I'm honestly not sure what up with it. I plug in the USB stick (I've tried this with 2, I used to have one for my old PC) and the computer does see it because it's in the device manager. When I try to install the drivers it asks me to plug the USB stick in, when it's already in, or I can't continue installation.
Also, it makes a noise as if it recognises it but then doesn't. For example, when you plug in a device it makes a sound (DUH DUH). But this goes (Duh duh duh) really quickly. I remember this happening on my old PC, not sure how I fixed it. I've browsed the disk manually to try and install it, but the same thing happens. Would love so help, if you have any :)

Hmm, is the stick compatible with Windows 7? Maybe it's a loose connection from being interted/removed often, and might need a little pressure on either side?

Lol. I'm not sure. But I know I had the same problem before with my Vista PC. Tried all of the above. I think it's best to get a better one anyway,

are you plugging into the front usb slots or the back, if I remember correctly the front ones get worse power supply (dont know where this came from) and the back ones are more reliable...

Alternatively it could just be a window'ism whereby it will only work in one of the USB slots and you need to find which one, I had this on my old PC with my usb keyboard and mouse, I unplugged to clean my pc and neither would work again after (even following 2 reboots) until I juggled them around the slots until they were in their 'original' slots and everything worked fine.

Hmm, maybe that could be it. I tried front and back, but not all of them. I'll try that out 2morrow, thanks.

Also, I would try to begin the software/driver installation without the USB Stick in. Then when it prompts you to plug it in, do so, rather than have it in from the beginning.
