Perhaps it just made it crash less. I have now bought a non-NETGEAR wireless stick and it works fine now. No, the Bysoft program did not fix it. Perhaps it just made it crash less.

Once you have installed the manufacturer supplied drivers go to: control panel > system > hardware tab > device manager > network adapters Find your adapter, right click and 'update drivers'. Click for 'Yes, this time only', click 'next', make sure 'automatically' is selected and click 'next' again. After a wait new drivers supplied by M$ are installed and the adapter appears to work correctly. I have tested this for maybe 15 minutes using Soulseek and no crash or freeze so far. However, my uncertainty with the device and with the Netgear company would recommend any potential buyers to stay well clear of them. I shall be buying a new non-Netgear wireless adapter as soon as possible. Good luck!

The latest drivers from netgear did not help. Dont know how but I think I fixed it with the Bysoft freeram program on default settings. This doesnt happen on my other machine so I will mention the motherboard is an Aopen MK77M-8XN. I have a netgear WG111v2 with windows XP, and it was routinely freezing up, but not BSOD.

I was worried it was my new PC but after some thinking I realised it had to be something to do with the adaptor, as I got the same BSOD's on my old PC...Another guy above said don't install the Netgear drivers and use the SP2 ones? Anyone tried this with success? I'm finding that I only get the BSOD's with P2P applications, at random intervals. Very strange but apart from that, it's relatively stable for me.
