You haven't actually programmed anything here. You need to set up a permanent connection on the D-Link to the Huawei (WLAN), because from what I can tell, you're just using it as a wireless card.

Basically, the D-Link manual should tell you how to log into the management interface via a web browser. Once you're in, you'll need to configure the operating mode, select the network it's connecting to (the Huawei), and input the access credentials.

Look, if you just drop the IP address for one of the devices on the network, we might actually pin down what's going wrong. IPs basically just tell us who's who and who's actually present on the network. Since you're running that Huawei gear from AT&T, your network should be sitting on 192.168.1.0... which means your devices ought to have anything from 1 to 254 instead of that zero. Check if that's the case.

Got any IP addresses for the gear involved?

Hmm, looks like you need to set that drive to slave mode and then put the other one in master mode. Not entirely sure if you have to jump in there and do it physically since they aren't the same type, or if just tweaking things in the BIOS does the trick...

If I'm reading this right, the Virtual Windows XP mode is missing Service Pack 3, which is probably why the install keeps failing.

Not really sure what's going on here. I'd need to take a look if you want any chance of fixing this... maybe I can jump on TeamViewer and see what's up if you're down.

Looks like the screen isn't being recognized properly. Try hunting it down in Device Manager and just nuking it from there. Then see if the system picks up the right one.

But hey, this is all just guesswork... no telling what'll actually happen next. 🤷

Just set that resolution to 1600 x 900

From what I can tell, you're looking at a DVI-I connector. Just Google the different types—the I, the D, whatever... look at the pictures and you'll see how they differ 😉

You’re gonna need a female VGA to male DVI cable or some kind of converter...

Of course you can. Any card with the right outputs and driver support for the OS will work. Since you mentioned Windows XP, you'll definitely find drivers floating around somewhere online...

Swap out the GPU, it's the biggest variable left. There's a chance Windows just decides to go rogue and install some busted driver on its own...

You wiped the driver, so that's why the graphics tanked... Not sure what happened with the ghosting thing, probably just some data refresh issue.

The only way to know for sure is to borrow someone else's basic GPU, or find some old working card and swap it in. That’s how you figure out if you're looking at a dead PSU, a fried card, or just a bad Motherboard...

Alright, looks like the GPU is acting up. You checked Event Viewer yet? Any BSOD info? Might be worth running WhoCrashed to see what's actually going on...

That card is plugged into the monitor, via that cable.

What else is in the build? And did you actually check the cable? Make sure it isn't half-unplugged or just trashed somewhere...

Check that shit and drop the specs here. Then we'll figure out what's next.

Did you actually install Java AFTER you enabled NPAPI? If not, just do that and give it another shot...

Did you try running Java on that verify button? Did it actually kick in for you?

Might be worth just restarting your browser or even the whole PC if you see that Chrome plugin installed successfully.

Hit this link chrome:/#enable-npapi and find the NPAPI section. Flip it to enable, then just click the relaunch button that pops up at the bottom of the window...
After that, get a Flash player install and Java set up. Then head over to chrome:/plugins and set both Java and the Flash player install to "always run." That's pretty much it.

You can also just right-click "This PC" and hit manage—or just go straight to Device Manager. Look under sound devices. Make sure it’s actually enabled and doesn't have some stupid yellow warning icon next to it...
