Hello, my son had a advent netbook 4211c that became virused heavily, i have installed windows xp pro, but now i (he) doesnt have a wireless adaptor or any of the features assosiated with the netbook to operate as was previously, can anyone help with the missing files/programmes to help get back to 'as was' ?
Thanks.

If the version of XP Pro was already registered it won't make any difference, because you won't be able to activate it or update it. Also if this version of XP has been registered and activated you won't be able to use it on the netbook. You will also need to find all your device drivers, applications and reinstall them if this is a valid version of Pro.
