Wi-Fi adapter for XP

[justacruzr2]

Anybody else have the problem of installing a usb wi-fi adapter in XP?  After the install, with the RealTek software, the BIOS screen locks up on boot and restart.  I have to remove it from the usb port to get past that.  And when windows starts up there is about a 2 minute delay before Windows is functional.  I'm running XP SP3.  Have tried letting Windows install it without the RealTek software and it does install it but something is missing as I cannot connect to the server.  Have tried 3 different usb wi-fi adapters but the results are the same.  Anyone know what's going on?

I've never had any issues.

I have four usb wi-fi adapters from my XP days and all four worked first time, no issues whatsoever.

Although I **NEVER** install "software", I install **DRIVERS ONLY** and no bundled "software".

Not sure what you are calling "RealTek SOFTWARE", but you don't need SOFTWARE for an OS to load a DRIVER.
