My WinME computer prompted me that an update was
available for my wireless network card. I started the
update and it stated it had to uninstall my software in
order to update it. It uninstalled and NEVER CAME BACK!

Now I can't re-install the software for some reason...
all i get is "the setup wizard cannot start" over and
over. I have tried the original CD, and downloads from
MicroSoft with the same results. I've tried it with the
card in, and the card out... NO luck. Anyone know what I
should do? Are there files on the machine that are
preventing the software from re-installing? (My WinXP MN-
700 Base station updated fine only a short time before by
the way)

START - RUN - "temp" ? I'll try it.... stand by.
Hopefully this will delete whatever is blocking setup
wizard from starting...

Try START | RUN | "%temp%". Without the quotation marks but the
percentage signs are very important. This opens the folder that the
temp variable has been set to. That folder will frequently get full of
junk.

I forgot about the installer being hosed. I could have given you
directions for that one. Oh well.
