    I bought a Pcmcia Adapter (d-Link g dwl 650) and installed and worked fine , Then I reinstalled Windows XP from Origional Disc ,
    Then when I installed the Drivers and Pcmcia card the Computer Froze ( only thing to do was remove card and Restart from On/off Button)
    I have tried reinstalling Drivers from Disc, website
    I tried Updating Bios ( was already updated )
    I tried Updating windows
    the Device manager says the Pcmcia slot is ok and Working fine .
    I even took the Adapter back to the Shop and Changed it to A Netgear and same thing happened , seems to freeze on last few seconds of installation
    I follow Instructions of Install , but also tried many ways , Inc uninstalling in safe mode and Reinstalling .
    Computer has no Problems connecting via USB adapter or cables
    So if anyone has Any Ideas would be Great
    I have seen this problem all over forums and Internet but no solutions
    (I am using Compaq Presario 1500 )
    Thanks for help

    It's a Laptop , So no I didn't can you just remove the Modem card easily in a laptop or would I need to just uninstall it in Device manager ?????
    The wireless PCMCIA card actually was wourking for 2 weeks then I reinstalled XP Operating system from origional disc I used Before ,and the first thing I did was try the Wireless card thats when the Problem started ???

    Thanks Mark

    Try installing the [link=http://support.dlink.com/products/view.asp?productid=DWL%2D650%2B]<<<latest Drivers>>>[/link] and see the manual from D Link's website......I should have seen it by myself but my computer is restricted and I cant download anything on my computer........ There are some faqs at the bottom to look out. If it doesnt solve your problem then there is a link on the right hand side to email to tech support, use that. Hopefully you will get your answer.

    Thanks Mate but thats the first thing I tried , I have downloaded the new drivers from Website , and also talked to D-link myself ( as usual tech support has no Idea ) and tells you to do the stuff I had already done )
    So if you have any more Ideas ??
    Thanks Mark
