I got a Dell inspiron, 2.4 GHZ , 512mb, BRAND NEW 60 GHD. I installed my fresh new XP PRO O.S. using my reinstall disc with no issues. Immediately after reboot I ran the disc for my 802.11 b/g/n USB wireless network adapter "windows xp compatible" manufactured by "REALTEK" ( Model : Realtek RTL8188SU ) and installed my hardware with no issues. I rebooted, and connected instantly to the internet! I completely updated windows ( for about an hour ) and after reboot, My network adapter could no longer connect! it was noticed, and could detect networks available but that was it. I uninstalled, and reinstalled , and browsed the manufacturers website, and adjusted settings, and REINSTALLED AND UPDATED WINDOWS TWICE , WITH ALL THE UPDATES, and still, once updated, no more net! NOW, I simply reinstalled my old network adapter, 802.11 b dlink 650 dwl and EXCELLENT connection !no issues!! I first thought that my realtek adapter was broke, but since it did the same thing twice, and stops working once I update windows, Im hunching that there has got to be a fix. I gotta go door to door on this one, please help!1 person needs an answerI do too

HiMake sure that the New Wireless USB does not install the vendor's Wireless manager, and it runs togather with Windows WZC.Maybe this can Help, http://www.ezlan.net/wireless.html Jack-MVP Windows Networking. WWW.EZLAN.NET
