Intermittently losing WiFi connection. XP Pro, Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG
I recently recovered from a nasty virus and my computer seems back to normal except one annoying problem. I periodically lose my wireless connection. It happens on multiple networks so I know its the computer. I have updated my drivers (all that were on Dell's support site specific for my service tag) and still not fixed. I used to be forced to reboot but now (after driver update) I can use device manager to disable, then enable the wireless adapter and the connection returns every time... but its obviously annoying.Any suggestions would be helpful. I have a Dell Latitude D630 running XP Pro. Theadapter is an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. Thanks in advance.1 person needs an answerI do too

Hi, There is a possibility that another 3rd party installed program or application is causing the conflict with this Wi-Fi.You are required to perform a clean boot to find the program that is causing this and then disable or remove it.How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" statehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353/en-usNote: After you have finished troubleshooting, follow the steps as explained in the article to reset the computer to start as usual.Also I would recommend you to install the Windows XP service pack 3 for better stability of the operating system.Microsoft also offers free anti-virus program Microsoft Security Essentials which is easy to install and use.Hope this helps.
