At least the Nvidia GeForce GTX560 Ti is showing up in
my Device Manager.  I'm guessing there may be a hardware
problem of some kind, but I don't have a lot of other
evidence of that.


> What shop you mean ' no home network'? I've got an entire home LAN setup. Windows and Linux. It's not out of the box however. You will need SAMBA for that. At least for seeing/interacting with Windows machines. It's really not that complicated to get that setup. I, or anyone, here can probably walk you through that.

Yeah, I just meant I could not connect on my wired
home network.  It saw the internet and had an icon
that said Windows Network, but it gave that error
"unable to mount location" no matter what I did.
It might have been as simple as changing the workgroup
from Workgroup to MSHOME, but I couldn't get that
done either.
