Windows Explorer stop responding after is senses a connection on the onboard
NIC. I have removed the drivers (Intel Pro 100) and install them again. I
have disabled the onboard card and installed a Cardbus NIC with the same
results.

History:
The computer was working fine until I tried installing a Dlink DWL-G650
wireless network card. I have removed all hardware and applications that is
associated with the card.
I have rolled the registry back to a date prior to the Wireless NIC install
with the same results.
I am about to reinstall Windows Me, but I thought I through this problem and
see if any one has experienced this problem.

Thanks,

J

My only suggestions would be

1)
reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager
Remove ALL NIC devices, and associated drivers, etc
Remove ALL 'Other Devices' if present
Remove ALL error-flagged devices
Reboot to Normal Mode, and allow Windows to reinstall required drivers.

2) If you feel that you have to reinstall ME - look here first!
