The orange bar goes from side to side then from left to right loading. Just before the completion and error message flashes on screen too fast to read properly. I have filmed this with video camera and downloaded to Adobe Premier but the message only occupies two frames and is very blurred. It says firmware file ***/***.fg not found. I can also read Linuxwireless.org/??/users latest firmware version ?? It works on my older laptop running Windows XP but not on my new Dell desktop running Vista. Please can anyone help.

It sounds like there are some hardware on this laptop the liveCD
cannot understand. It may be too new or just different.
Try selecting to load with the simple loader, not the LiveCD type.
This may work but it may not boot up with an image or sound or something
that is causing the trouble.
