XP_BanDit Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) Hope I am posing in the right spot. Ok here it I was given on older panasonic toughbook model CF-27EB, I have Xp Pro. on it since it didn't have a nic, I bought a Linksys Wireless-G PCMCIA card Model WPC54G ver.7.1 But now when I try to install the driver that came with it, it freezes my PC. So went to Lynksys downloaded the newest driver from there and does the same thing, it freezes when I remove the card it usually unfreezes.Getting fed up with this, has anyone else here had this problem and could there be a work-around or anything to fix this?

XP_BanDit Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 No haven't tried it on another laptop and yes only with this card. Just will try a usb card hopefully will do the trick. Thanks for your eyeball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 hi,i wasnt suggesting using a usb wi fi card but that may be one way around it.i asked if other usb devices worked only because there is a part of the registry that controls devices and i find it is rather prone to corruption thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XP_BanDit Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share Posted September 10, 2007 Oh ok misunderstood you, but yes all other USb devices are working or work well everything just freezes with this particular PCMCIA card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
