Sounds like you've got a 'extra context menu' that's linked to program that doesn't exist on your PC at the minute...
Two ways to hit this one:
1. Have you got a scanner? If so, the disk it's asking for might be your scanner driver CD. Try putting that in, and if it still doesn't work, put the disk in normally and see if there's a progrm called 'omnipage' on it. It's an optical character recognition app for scanners that is often bundled with the scanner itself. Install it, then uninstall it from add/remove programs if you don't want it on there. If you can't can't find the omniscan prog, then...
2. Download this program, 'hijack this' - http://www.download.com/HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10227353.html
Run it, click 'ok' on the warnings, and select 'run a system scan and create log report'
Copy and paste the log report here (it's a text file), and we can take it from there

Yes, a mac compatable wifi card is all you need to share your internet connection.

Yup, built in wifi would be fine
802.11b supports a maximum transfer speed of 11mbps, 802.11g supports up to 54mpbs so both would be fine for your 8mbps broadband.

thanks a lot, 1 more question.
at the moment the router is in my bedroom, i want to move it to the hallway of my house so that the signal is better,
A) is it possible to get a longer, about 15 meter etherent cable and a the cable that conects to my phone line?
and
B) if it is possible will the extra about of cable slow down my internet conection?
thanks so much |

Yes, you can get made-up CAT5 ethernet cables in various lengths, the longest ready-made one I've ever seen is 30m but I'm sure you can get longer. Likewise, you can get ADSL phone cables in a similar range of lengths.
It is true that your connection speeds suffer when using longer cables but as long as you buy decent quality cables and / or connectors and you use the shortest possible lengths of cables, it's doubtfull that you'll notice an appreciable difference in performance.

Yes, the airport extreme is a wifi adapter and will work with a standard wireless router

@p900
a longer ethernet cable wont slow it down but a longer cable from the router to your wall will slow it down (but not by much, it can create alot of noise on the connection if u use a low grade wire, as i found out the hard way!)
