The way I understand it, there was something in SP1 (and included in SP2) they forgot to include in SP3.

So I guess I'll have to drive out there,haul everything back up to the modem and get online and try to download some updates from windows updates.Then if that works try to install the wireless card etc.

I have experience installing wireless b/ g USB adapters. Just a review of what I guess you are doing: 1. with the adapter not plugged in, install the driver for it from the CD. 2. shut down the computer. 3. plug the adapter in a USB port. 4. start the computer The computer should recognize the adapter as it boots to desktop and install it. It may say that the driver isn't signed by MS, but continue anyway. The adapter then is installed and has to be configured with the WEP key to connect. You do that by opening the systray icon for the adapter and searching for your wireless gateway SID, then telling the WEP key. I think I didn't leave anything out. The little systray computer icon with the )) wireless should then be working (not yellow triangle, or red line). I'm not sure what happens if you have the adapter plugged in when you install the driver, but I'm sure that isn't what to do.
