Wireless card install causing trouble

[TrAb]

Hi guys just recently i bought a linksys wireless card for my mame computer. Everything goes smoothly until i install the software for the linksys card, after i do that the next time i reboot windows xp when the mala splash comes up on windows boot, it freezes everything. Only way to get it unfroze is to ctrl+alt+dl and restart the explorer.exe. Now if i turn mala auto start off, everything does fine. I have even tried telling the linksys software to not automatically connect and that has no effect. Any ideas? Thanks

I have mala on boot and a wireless card and all works OK.

With the older PC I used to have I had an issue where mala was loading before windows had started all the devices.

I resolved that by gui-display-misc.. and adding 7000 to the splash time.

You may want to try that?

I tried that tonight and it didnt help, i guess im going to uninstall the wireless cards software and see what that does

Ok i just removed the linksys software and now the computer is doing fine... Ive never had this problem with any of linksys's products before.  The only thing i can think to do is tell it to not let the linksys software startup at boot until i tell it to.
