Belkin XP Wireless router problems - death screen

[Graham07]

Hi,

My machine refuses to boot up first time and I always get the blue death screen. It continues to do this (restart etc) for upto 10 occasions before it finally starts. It wants to send an error mesage to Microsoft but says I can't connect to the internet (although it is).

When I remove the Belkin XP driver it starts normally.

I can then install the driver again and it works fine until I switch off and the same thing happens again with the death screen. Any ideas please ?

Thanks

Graham

Well, this certainly seems to be a Belkin driver issue, what do they have to say? Have you considered a different wireless NIC? I prefer PCI wireless NIC's to USB. USB is frequently problematic for networking.

Forgive my ignorance, what is NIC please ?

Thanks

Network Interface Adapter, your Ethernet card.

Thanks. Any suggestion with the missing .dll files ?

Thanks

You should get an error message if missing DLL's are encountered. I have no idea what to expect, since I don't know what caused any of them to go missing in the first place.
