Vista - Wireless Adapter is preventing vista from booting!! Help

10-19-2007

Hey all,

I have a Dlink Dwl-G520(B) adapter installed with vista 64 and had this card
working fine before I updated windows when i first connected to the internet.
now the system wont boot into vista at all unless i go through safe mode
disable the card and reboot then enable it in windows (have to do this every
time). It works fine when in windows (although i cant connect to a hidden
ssid).

Would any body be able to help? cause it affects the experience of vista and
a new comp.

Thanks in advance

Before you updated windows? Exactly what update are you referring
to? Windows Update installed something that impacted behavior?
Uninstall it or uninstall the last set of updates and test to see if
things work. Then reinstall them manually one at a time to see which
one breaks things.
