Have an IBM Thinkpad 600x running Windows 2000 Professional (long story, wife inherited it from a prior job and I'm trying to resurrect it for a spare laptop around the house)

Trying to install a Linksys 54G wireless card. Installation failed - system said it could not install ikernal.exe (I think) - did not have proper permissions (I think).

Any ideas on what's going on and how to fix it?

Also, battery doesn't appear to hold a charge. How can I tell whether its the charger block or the battery, short of buying a new battery.

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!

TIA
