Yeah, use PCMIA slot. Any card will do.

    So here is the deal, I REINTALLED EVERYTHING like you told me to. No problems during installation by the way (Weird I know after all the trouble installing and unistalling the software/drivers) The Intel Software that came with the Drivers HAD to be installed and running. The only difference is that I am using an Apple router with WPA2 security which Intel on the card doesnt even give an option for when setting up to connect to a network, (only WEP and something else; not even sure if 128 bit excryption is an option; 64 bit at best). Especially setting it up with the password and what not. SO....I enabled Windows Wireless Config to take over the control of the Network Connection and put the password in. I guess The information got tranferred back (Somehow) to the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200m B/G Network Connection because it is showing a connection status on my taskbar. The problem before was that I had uninstalled the Intel connection software (but kept the drivers giving me the BSOD) but let Windows Zero Config do the job of the Intel software. This time around I have kept the software intalled but let Windows Zero Config take over control of the router but still kept the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200m B/G Network Connection program installed and running at the SAME TIME. They both show different connection qualities (Excellent under Windows Zero Config; Good Under Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200m B/G Network connection on my taskbar. I still have Windows Zero Config enabled but had Intel running at the same time and I haven't had a BSOD all night and I just woke up (Which is A FIRST FOR THE BSOD) so finally it works with no problems AT ALL (fingers crossed)  ::) Thanks again BRONI because without your help I would  have  tried to reinstall windows but would have still ran into the same problem after trying to install the internal wireless card drivers from the ACER suport site. YOUR AWESSOME BRONI and without your patience this laptop would have been in the garbage!   ;D
