| 617245 | 2007-12-02 02:39:00 | I just got a new PC and have spent the afternoon installing all my favourite apps, when windows XP decided it wanted to install an automatic update. I had been connected to a wireless network through which I was accessing the internet with no problem at all. After rebooting and installing the updates, my PC would start giving me the blue screen of death whenever I would connect to the wireless network (immediately after connecting). I would get a DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error, saying there is a problem with the vnetusbr.sys driver. Anybody have any ideas? Many thanks, Jon |

| 617246 | 2007-12-02 02:48:00 | Oh, I failed to mention that I am connecting via a USB wireless adapter. I have just tried (after hours of messing round beforehand) plugging the adapter directly into the PC rather than via a USB, and voila, it works. Still, it would be nice to know why I cannot connect when it's plugged into a hub :mad: | Halfpint (13084) | ||
| 617247 | 2007-12-02 02:49:00 | Reinstall the wireless drivers. Sounds like theyre corrupt. Get the latest version off whatever site. You'll have to go to whoever made the computer / their site and search for the model of your PC. (if the wireless is onboard), or the site, whoever made the wireless adapter. I think vnetusbr.sys has something to do with the wireless Whats the brand / model of the wireless adapter if it isnt part of the computer? Not all USB devices like hubs. If it works in a USB port and it doesnt crash, I would leave it there. |
