Much of my work this quarter has been simply fixing simple malfunctions as they arise and occasionally setting up new printers and other equipment. This week, though, I ran into a persistent problem with one of the Dell Latitude E5400 laptops.

Mr. Wood reported that one of his computers was not connecting to the wireless network, so I had a look at it. My first instinct was to check and re-install the driver, since I couldn't find any other problems (the connection manager picked up the CPS network just fine), but I received an error when I tried to install the new Intel driver, and when I tried to re-install the Dell wireless utility. Both errors reported not finding compatible hardware on my system, so I cleaned the registry and scanned for malware but wasn't able to find a definitive solution.  I'm not sure if anybody else has had this problem, but if so, were you able to solve it?

Also, I talked to Mr. Wood about getting some windows XP discs to do a few re-installs, but he doesn't know of any at Dulles. Does CUIP have any that could legally be used on the CPS machines?
