I got my new computer all setup and evreything works fine. But i went to put in my disk to install my dsl router and it wont read my disk, you can hear the disk spin and see the light flash for like a minute and a half.

Ive put in cleaning cds and evreything and it would play the cleaning cds audio and read the disk in windows media player. but i put in my router disk and it does nothing. Its not the disk there isnt a single scratch on it so do you know of anything that may be keeping my drive from reading the disk? thanks

Why do you need the router disk? You should be able to manually configure your router..

Do you get any error message?

What kind of router is it?

If its a linksys (without that button) I understand what you mean, because my linkss stuff wont work right without their stupid programs.

edit: but thats wireless stuff. so, what kind of router is it?

shit i never used those on the linksys i set up...

What brand is it? There should be an IP you can just enter into IE to access the routers config page...

if its linksys 192.168.1.1

For my card, it wont work right unless you install that stupid green program. It makes it a lot easier too though, but that program crashes a lot.
