Hello, my machine is set up to dual boot Windows XP Professional Edition and Windows 7 Home edition. I had Windows XP installed on this machine first because it is 10 years old and I wasn't sure how well it would work with Windows 7. I decided to test out Windows 7 a few months after using Windows XP on here and noticed the wireless network was started right when Windows 7 loaded, where as in Windows XP it can take anywhere from 1-3 minutes for the wireless network to load. In this 1-3 minute time frame on Windows XP any browser or attempted connection to the internet 'hangs' and does not display a time out, it just continues to try and connect until the wireless icon finally shows in the taskbar.
I'm using a Wireless G PCI Adapater with Speedboost. I searched for quite a while to find the drivers for the Windows XP partition, but the Windows 7 driver that boots at the start of the partition was installed automatically by Windows 7 on the first boot up.
Any ideas on which services/programs/potential problems could be causing this to happen?
