Windows XP Home version freezes when WiFi Network card is
inserted. Everything was working as I left the laptop run
the other night. When I got up in the morning, everything
was frozen. When I tried to re-boot, the system freezes
while loading if the card is in the PCMCIA card slot. If I
insert the card while Windows is running, upon trying to
access the internet, the system crashes again.
We are talking a completel system freeze with everything
coming to a halt. CD, mouse, everything. Using Escape or
the 3 finger salute doesn't get any responce at all either.
As I said, everything was working one night, and the next
morning it wasn't.
I've done a complete scan for viruses. The drivers have
been un-installed and re-installed. I've tried 2 different
locations with different receivers with the same result.
I have Norton Firewall and virus software. I have tried
disabling it and still got the same result.
I also tried adjusting the firewall to allow some things
and notify me when it happened. It reported a scan and
blocking of the UPNP 1900 Rule just before it froze up
again. I don't know what this port is or anything about
this rule.
I don't think the firewall is the problem since it still
froze with the Firewall disabled. but I don't have a clue
as to what is causing this.
Any ideas?
