The card would be inside your desktop. Not a slot like the laptop. :) Your computer is new enough it may just have one installed.. but I'm not sure.. check device manager maybe it'll show it in there.. just be sure to click on view/show all devices since you are using XP now. :) Tee \\ ----- Original Message ----- From: CRAZYDOVE@xxxxxxx To: computertalkshop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 4:55 PM Subject: [CTS] Re: True Mobile Card Ok..let me esplain Luuucy..this flat True Mobile card came with my Dell Laptop, it slides into a slot on the side of it. I finally dug it out of it's box today..and put it in..*blank look*! My desktop, doesn't have one of those "slot" thingys..so I don't know what to buy or install to work with the Lan card from my Dell Laptop!! Both pc's are running XP, but my desktop is 5 or so years old, maybe more. I don't know where or what I would put in the desktop to work with the laptop thingy. Got that???

You said you had a wireless NIC in the laptop, right ? And the desktop........ you need a wireless NIC in that too. No slot ??? You mean no empty slot ? What's eating up all your slots ? Anything that can go ?
