Hi all. Having a rubbish time of it recently Reinstalled winXPpro, got almost everything up & running (except optical drive: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...d=2278312&STARTPAGE=1).
My problem is that my internet connection keeps dying. I think the problem is the USB support, since
- other machines on the router connect fine
- the netgear software finds the network ok
- everything's physically fine and tends to connect when I start up, then the connection fails.
When the connection fails, nothing changes in terms of appearance: the netgear icon still displays a green-screened laptop, and the windows wireless icon shows an empty monitor with the wireless waves coming out of it (screen not lit though).
My semi-solution has been to unplug the adapter and plug it in a different USB slot, however this results in the device not being recognised. When I looked at the driver in place (for unknown device) it was klfltdev.sys, which is a kaspersky interfere-ware driver. Perhaps rashly, I've just gone through and deleted every instance of this driver in the registry, but this hasn't changed anything, since now the unknown device just has no driver.
I don't know enough about USB controllers and hosts to know what to do here. I've searched out intel and gigabyte drivers to solve this but have so far found nothing to fix it, since it keeps happening.
Can anyone suggest anything?
thanks a load in advance.
