Help Needed to Load new Wifi 802.11 standard USB Adaptor software onto sons HP Mini 5103 laptop that has no floppy disk drives

Rick from Hauraki

I have downloaded the adapters driver files from the suppliers website (wavlink.com) but when I try to install the driver files, I get the message - "Extraction cannot be completed because the destination file could not be created".
I have tried to email across from one of my PC's using a site that allows you to transfer up to 300MB but it doesn't work because I cannot encompass all the individual files.

It should be possible to cable from PC to HP Mini 5103 laptop but I have no cables or the program needed to transfer that way. Root problem is that the HP Mini has no floppy disk portals.

I used to own a company in Australia that manufactured Povidone Iodine products eg Betadine type products and may be able to suggest how the usuage of such products could enhance your safety during this coronavirus crisis. Rick, Hauraki Corner

Say goodbye to tyre waste

Tyrewise

About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.

Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

Find out more about the scheme online.
