As I said SP1 is ok,install chipset drivers as well.My graphic drivers require .net which I dont trust either, until I have Gnucleus working first.Even with broadband u will still have to wait a little while for the symbol to go green.This is the third time I have been unable to connect after removing Gnucleus & trying to reinstall w/out reformatting.
Preferably,minimum drivers is best,chipset,modem,Gnucleus & obviously after update, no music searches until the rest is in place.
