Ive got a small problem...
Tuesday, December 9, 2003 by EventHorizon | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
...with my wireless NIC on our laptop.
After it (the computer) boots up, I plug in the card (it's PCMCIA)...it warms up...then, right after the little speech-bubble saying 'wireless connection found' (or whatever)...the computer freezes...So, I pull the card out and it works...for about 5 seconds.
Then I get WinXp's modified version of the BSoD that says something like , Windows has detected an error, and has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer... It also says something about ndis.sys in the technical info.
It used to be just every couple times or so it did this, but now its invariable, and makes checking email impossible...Or close to it...luckily, Ive got a wired 10/100 Nic that doesnt freeze the comp, but (for various reasons) this is only a temporary solution.
Ive tried re-installing the drivers, but this doesnt help...

you've removed the nic, not just the driver from you contrl panel/system/hardware settings and rebooted without the nic, thne shut down and then booted up with the nic in the slot so it id's it and reinstalls the driver ?

Travis, yeah, I was/am supposed to be on 200 - 250 milgram Trazdone
but even then I do not sleep all that well because it causes vivid dreams 90% of the time...
all the others don't work worth a flying ahhh, well don't work

Iplural, the problem with all sleeping pills is they give me bad dreams, or at least they used to.

All right IP, looks like its getting better, but still not there yet...
Found an old 'network adapter' that seemed to be causing a conflict...deleted it and popped the Wi-Fi card in... It worked for about 30 seconds and didnt hang...but I got a new BSoD that said IRQ_LESS_OR_NOTEQUAL...
just restarted...

I can beat you in processing power (900), but not in memory. (128) The bad part about it is that its shared ram, up to 32Mb...So, running XP with around 100mb of avaliable ram...Its not pretty.
