Have you considered using windows to configure your adapter?

You say you are using SP1 -Windows XPSP2 has an improved wireless
experience, plus using XPSP2 is the only way to keep current on security
updates.

Vendor utilities might be necessary to get special functionality that only
their own application can provide, but if that's not the case, you don't
need the DLINK app.
