You can't expect to treat any computer like this and expect it to function properly. Win / linux, it doesn't matter: If you haven't completed the install, it ain't gonna work. Get a grip, and reinstall, properly. |

You may have downloaded DVDs, but there'll probably still be updates (released today/yesterday) that it wants or needs to apply. "Unplugging ethernet" because you are impatient doesn't help. Quote:
Then configure the wireless interface. And please correct your punctuation. Lazy txt spk psts are annoying. |
Got it to work, reinstalled windows for Saturday (when i really needed the computer). On Sunday i tried again and it worked right away even without ethernet plugged in for the install. I ran the updates after the install and it told me to restart which I did and now everything is running perfectly. Sorry about bad punctuation.
