Blue Screen Error

I have a problem with a blue screen error on shutting down windows xp
professional sp2 on a Dimension 8400. The message reads hardware error
contact vendor parity error. It is being caused by a d-link DWL-G520+
wireless network card. If i disconnect from the router before shutting
windows down everything shuts down properly. But if I am connected to
the router without first disconnecting from the router it blue screens.

Anyone else ever had a similar problem.
TIA
ricardo

Nope, not with that card. ( I had a situation years ago with WinMe and an
Alcatel USB DSL modem ) But I would do 2 things:

1) At desktop, uninstall the card from device manager as well as the
software for it in add/remove programs.

2) Power the system down, unplug - and move the card to another PCI slot.
Then boot and reinstall the software


Smells like a software driver issue. Check the D-Link website for newer
drivers. I've had good luck with their equipment.

that card is not distributed in the states... but support can be found here
http://support.dlink.com/ and you will be directed to your country of
origin...
the uk site has v3.06 drivers dated 12/8/2004. perhaps they will help.

Thanks for your help people but I couldn't solve the problem so I have
now just run a cat5 network cable and gotten rid of the wireless card.
