I have been trying to install a wireless USB adapter on my T20
Thankpad. When the adapter is first plugged in, Windows detects it and
goes through an automatic setup routine. However, when I reboot, I
receive a rundll32 error at startup (not sure what program is causing
that). And, thereafter, when I open Internet Explorer, it fails to find
an internet connection, eventually producing an error message and
shutting down. If I attempt further fiddling, I receive a sgtray error
(I've never heard of sgtray...not sure what it is) and the system
eventually locks up.

It appears that the wireless USB device IS working. It can successfully
connect to the network router and browse the computer to which the
router is attached. However, it appears to "hose" Internet Explorer as
noted above. By reloading a restore point, everything successfully
returns to functioning as it did before the attempted installation of
the wireless adapter. Other USB devices have worked successfully with
this computer.

Help! Comments???

Please refer this question to a general discussion group for your operating
system. This is an OS/hardware problem, not an internet problem, per se.

Thanks for the suggestion. Would you care to suggest an appropriate
group? There are dozens to choose from, and this one looked like the
bset fit.

Thanks for your help.
