MAN I'm just having a rough time of it lately. Should have built my own system.
There appears to be an issue with the linksys wmp11 wireless network adapter and something else on the new compaq. I've done everything within the last week to try to resolve the issue. Even got XP in a mode where I could manually change the IRQ addresses which didn't fix anything. I thought I had the problem fixed the other night when I discovered that the sound card and wireless adapter seemed to have a conflict, but XP is still locking when I use the network card. It appears that when I have two applications accessing the internet, the system freezes, such as Netscape Mail and Netscape browser, Netscape and IE, an IM app and a browser, etc. Sounds crazy to me, but it's 100% reproducible.
I've read that the wmp11 from linksys seems to have a problem with AMD or via? chipset. I know I have an AMD processor but not sure how to tell what chipset is in the thing.
The last thing I haven't tried from googling the issue is another brand of wireless card. Anyone using a wireless adapter in their desktop? What brand are you using and do you have an AMD processor?
