512638 2007-01-04 09:08:00 Tried to install the driver for this D-Link USB wireless adaptor to my XP machine with SP2 and all the updates. Strangely, halfway through the installation, a warning windows pops up saying that it requires either Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows XP SP1 or I can download some kbxxxxxxx windows updates in order to avoid clashes (not the exact words but something to that effect). Then I have the option whether to continue or cancel.

Considering the fact that I already have SP2, I clicked Continue. After the installation has finished, it asks for a restart. I clicked OK and the system shuts down and it restarted. But it hang after POST and the monitor screen went black. I could hear that the HDD is running and the HDD LED ligh is blinking. After about a minute, I turned off the power and rebooted the machine. This time it Windows loads up OK butthe Screen Resolution has been changed to a very low setting. I reset the resolution and restarted XP. This time everything went smoothly and the wireless adaptor is also working properly, too. Hope it will not generate any problem later.

Has anyone else ever encountered this problem? Clearly, this driver has some bugs; or, I have done something wrong! :confused:
