Hi Eleanor

My understanding is that there was no real problem at all to just go
through the initial Windows questions such as name and keyboard language
during setup.  I'm not aware that anything asking for registration
appeared, and certainly hasn't since I've been using it.

I hope you get up and running soon.  I sympathise greatly with your
frustration at not having sighted assistance around.  I copped out of
touching mine for the weekend when I bought it, and waited until I took
it into the office.  I didn't see the point as there was nobody around
to help, and I couldn't guess without risking a right cock-up occurring!

Fair enough James.  I wonder if anyone who has had theirs set-up might
be able to tell me.  Otherwise I will have to wait until tomorrow and
then I'll get it sorted.

Hi George,
I doubt this is the case, I've found that I've never had to activate
Windows if it is an OEM copy, as the maker of the PC has always
incorperated the serial number or activation key into the install of
Windows. This is usually because popular manufacturors of PC's like

HP,

Del, Samsung etc only supply you with a recovery disk, not a full

Windows

CD. I could be wrong, but something tells me that XP will not require
activation by the user on the NC10.

It's very likely to be either the Windows Registration for or the
Windows Activation form.

Pity the guy in the shop didn't follow this through.

George.

Hi I decided not to go for the Tosheba in the end but for the NC10.
Last
night I was very disappointed as I could not see a power light on and
decided I would have to take it back to the shop today.  I did this
afternoon and immediately the man plugged it in and showed me where
the gren
light was.  I could see the light.  I then asked him if he would go
through
the set-up bit and he very kindly did.  It took about 15 minutes or
thereabouts so I went off and did my shopping and then it was ready.
Now I
have it back home I still cannot see that green light but have tried
without
the battery and yes indeed the power is coming through.  Now there is
some
form or something coming up after Windows has booted up.  What would
that
be.  I tried using the voice thing, I forget what that is called,
Chris
recommended it to me but it was and is not making enough sense to me
to know
what to do now.  I will have no problem once someone who can see is
around
but if anyone can tell me about this then I can move on another pace.
In
the meantime at least I can leave it  charging for the next 6 hours.

Hi,



If it's anything like the Advent 4211, it's configured to the point

where

there's various data you can put in, but I know that certainly some

(such

as keyboard) can be done later.  It may be that it all can, but I

wouldn't

say for certain.  I had sighted assistance just to get through those



screens, but it doesn't really need to be anyone who has great

knowledge

of computers.  It's all pretty straightforward stuff.



Hope this helps a bit.

Hi Eleanor,
I honestly couldn't say, if it comes with a regular install of XP

then

yes, as there's a lot of steps to go through. However, if you can

turn it

on and boot into XP straight away, there's really no need. I can't

find

any info online about how XP comes configured on the unit

unfortunately.

its
paces.  Then he said about username and password.  Do I need to put

these

in?  I can of course.  Would you recommend me getting someone who

can see

to
set all of this up for me?  Once that is done and Supernova goes

on, I

would
then be more in control again.

Hi Eleanor,
2 things about the Toshiba: The keyboard is very small, and it is
designed
to run Linux, not Windows. Of course, it does run Windows very

well, but

if you're looking for a netbook, the Samsung NC10 is currently the

best

all rounder, meaning that its price and features are good and
well-balanced.
