Pre-N card causes machine freeze

CGILC · 14-08-2006, 11:48

Anybody out there with the same experience as me ? I installed a new Belkin Pre-N router and then proceeded to install the card in a PCMCIA slot. At the point where the setup routine asks for me to insert the card, the computer completely freezes. When I withdraw the card, the machine goes back to normal. It does not seem to be an IRQ conflict as I eventuially put my old 11b card into the same slot and it worked fine. I have a Toshiba Satellite, about 3 yrs old running on XP Home.

Check the Tosh website for some updated system drivers,

This may help.

Oh and welcome

Thanks for your greetings. Nice forum by the looks of it. I see from the Tosh website that several updates are available, but which one(s) would affect the installation of this card. BIOS update perhaps ?

Bios and motherboard chipset I'd suggest

OK I'll try those later. Won't do any harm. Many thanks.
