My laptop freezes up whenever I insert my D-Link DWL-G650 card. If I pull it
back out, it unfreezes. It used to work with no problems, but now not at
all. Any Ideas?

Perhaps the card slot is damaged. Try another wireless adapter card;
maybe a friend has one you can borrow. If the same thing happens you'll
know it is a hardware problem on the laptop. If you don't have any
problem, then the D-Link card may be damaged and should be replaced.
