Should I download this for my laptop? (Toshiba A505 S6960)?

Last night the blue screen of death appeared on my computer screen and I wrote down the error code. I called Toshiba support center and they told me to turn the computer off restart and continue to press f8 and click on last boot configuration or something like that. The computer works fine now. However the woman I spoke to said that she doesn’t know why my computer crashed in the first place. So I called the IT help desk at my university and gave them the error code. They told me it meant there was a problem with the network drivers and I should install an update I did as told and received the message that my computer already had the best possible software installed and so the helper told me that there must be a problem with the actual wi-fi card and that I would need to send the laptop in to either best buy’s geek squad or toshiba. I live on campus with no car and best buy is far away, classes start wed. so I don’t have time to send it into toshiba and wait for it to get back. I can’t afford to be without a laptop, anyways I went onto Toshiba’s support website typed in the make/model: Satellite A505-S6960 and found a support bulletin titled: Wi-Fi data transfer may stop temporarily, “Copy File” error message. It basically said to download this Atheros wireless LAN driver thing. Here’s the link to the bulletin:

I really don’t want to download this and get even more problems so if someone could read the bulletin and tell me whether or not this will solve my problem that would be helpful. Also, the error code I got on the blue screen of death was 0x000000d1 NETw5v64.sys if that will help.

Do you think this is all ill need for this much of a basic video editing pc?at would you like to ask?

All i want is to use is windows xp home for the widows movie maker with “video capture” option… and some basic dvd burning software… i guess you can call them “home movies” basic… so basic it would make a quad core user cry… i dont need the bells and whistles… its for basic church video dvd making.. would this work… im more for high end stuff but would http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4360082&sku=V133-97000 I was told that if its not a 64bit OS a dual core will run like a single core… is that true? and would windows xp media center have the same version of movie maker with the “video capture” option” ohh and would it work with that pc?

im doing something i normally dont do and im making what i think is an impulse buy… would xp work on this or is it made for vista?

Can you give some tips on how to solve this problem using simple c language?

You are to create a software called Font MAcKER which can display letters on the screen following specified characteristics given by the user. The user inputs 5 capital letters, the height desired in terms of number of characters (from 5 to 12), the color desired (allow 5 color choices), and the horizontal justification desired (left justified, right justified, or centered). Then the letters are displayed vertically centered.

Complexity of the font type will be considered in grading. Your software should be able to handle the following letters: A C D E F G H I J L N O P S T U X Z

All user inputs should be validated. Relevant user prompts & messages should be provided.

You are to design based on your creativity 3 main screens, namely Introduction Screen, Main Screen (min size = 20 x 70), & Closing Screen. You are required to use colors in your displays. Note that screen displays may vary depending on terminal settings.

This is my story What you think?

So ive decided to wright a story to help other teens not make the choices I made when I was going through a tough time.
Dont correct me on typos or fragments, just tell me what you think of the introduction. (overview)
Thanks for your help.

My name is ————–, I am sixteen years old and I live in Bixby Oklahoma with a total population of 20091 people. Im writing this story because I want parents, and other teens to know whats going on with an average teenage male.
I was born in chatanooga, Tennessee where I moved to Edmond Oklahoma before I was even a year old. I quickly moved from edmond to the Bixby area in oklahoma. Life was great, picture perfect, one of those families like you see in the old movies. With the wife cookin dinner, kids playing, and dad just coming home from work. I lived in a blue, two story house, my room was downstairs next to my parents, and my younger sister lived upstairs. My room was filled with dalmations, as a kid it felt like I owned every stuffed animal dalmation out there. I could hide in the large pile of dogs, and my mom “couldnt” find me. All of the memories in that house were good, I had a rowdy neigbor about my age that would come over and throw rocks in the street with me, and I also had another neighbor that I would peak over my fence and spy on them. When you walked into my blue house, there was an old couch with a quilt (That I could never find out where it came from) hanging above it. The kitchen was connected with the living room and a halway which led to my parents and my room. One of my best memories was waking up at one in the morning and going to look at the rubber lizard that I had put in a bowl of water and the package said it was to grow up to two feet. I loved that house, there were only two bad memories. The first was when I was spinning around in circles and hit my tooth on a chest my parents owned, the second was when my mom got super glue in her eye and my dad was gone so we had to ask Mr. bush (Our neighbor, also a preacher) to take her to the hospital. Those were absolutley the favorite times in my life that I will always miss.
When I was in kidergarden (with the best teacher ever I might add) my parents bought a lot about four miles away and planned to build a new house. We sold “Big Blue” and moved into a rental for a while. Kandace, my little sister, and I would always go to a day care center called childs play while my parents when out to dinner, every Friday night. When our parents picked us up from the center we would always be expecting some kind of reward like we deserved it. One time we got a trampoline, and the other we got a white dog named Daisy. Finnaly our new house was finished, our new neighborhood was called Stanfordelm and we were only the second house in our coldisac. I didnt like this house as much but it was okay, my sister and I got to stick our hands in the concrete, that was cool, but it was different. It wasnt the place that I called “home” but my mom loved it so I went along with it. This house didnt bring memories, or friends, or anything like Big Blue. We slowly stopped talking to people and it seemed that all our family cared about was my dads job. One day I came home from school and everything was like normal, but later that night I remember seeing my dad crying and I didnt know why. Apparently my dad had stolen software from a company that he quit, leaving my family with all kinds of Lawyer stuff. My parents owned the resteraunt guide for a while, then it went under. I always wanted to know what that ment but everytime I asked a “stupid” question, my mom said I would get a “stupid” answer.
When my dad had to sell his buisness or whatever he did with it he got a new job, but it ment he had to live in texas. So for a long year my dad would commute from Texas to Bixby every weekend. My parents seemed to be fighting more, over stupid reasons I didnt understand. On my eleventh birthday night, I came home while my dad was out of town, to find my mom drunk and passed out on the floor. I then dragged her to her bed and told her goodnight. That day changed my life, and from that day forward, it would never be the same.
