Title: Computer crashes when disabling wireless card.
Post by: notme on October 02, 2008, 02:25:56 PM
When I disable my wireless card or repair my wireless connection (which involves disabling my wireless card) my computer sometimes freezes which is rather annoying. I often have problems connecting to my wireless and it can usually be fixed by clicking repair but recently my computer seems to crash.

Running Win XP SP2


Cheers

It's not a laptop. A desktop - from a computer shop, built by the computer shop.

Eh? So you're using wireless instead of an Ethernet cable for your Desktop?

Try reinstalling your Wireless card drivers.
