Hi.

I've a conceptronic c300ru wireless adapter connected to a pc with XP, but the adapter is behaving oddly. The drivers have been installed from the CD but the response from the system tray utility is odd. The utility sometimes shows up in the system tray and when I try to connect to the wireless router (also conceptronic) the utility attempts to connect, but then quits. I tried getting XP to handle wireless connections but its success is sporadic at best. Sometimes XP makes the connection (manually) and sometimes it refuses to connect. The only answer in such circumstances is to restart XP and attempt a fresh manual connection.

Any ideas?

You haven't tried drivers from the web site? Give those a shot. Don't forget to unplug and uninstall first.
