I just formatted my dads laptop with xp sp2. Everything runs good until I pop in my dads linksys wpc11 pcmcia 802.11b card. Sometimes windows will freeze and it never seems to find a connection. Whenever wireless zero configuration service is enabled my computer will freeze right away once i plug in the wireless card. If i dont plug in the card its fine. If the service is off I can get a wireless connection but my dads laptop is freezing frequently. Is there some kind of bug with wirless and sp2 that causes freezing?

Call MS. Pick their brains for free since they're offering free phone support - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=windowsxpsp2

Then when you figure it out, post the fix here so that others will know as well

hmm i was hoping someone else had a fix for this issue:( I dont know if i can call ms anyways, the pc its on used to have a legit copy of xp home, but i loaded pro on it.. If anyone wants to help me out or see if they have this issue? I still get wireless connection and everything on the laptop but it has freezed if the card is in while booting or during windows.
