I really need help. I emailed OvisLink (The thing I started using when this occured, and heres the email): MY EMAIL I really need help with this. Ever since I got this usb adapter on my computer, it shuts down all the time and goes to a blue screen saying IRQL_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS. This is really making me mad. I cannot find a driver for this, as I do not know what it is called on your website, or whatever. The name in the subject is what I read off of the back of the adapter. Please help me, I've tried everything. Thank you THERE RESPONSE Hello Dominic, It seems that your motherboard not allow to install more device because of IRQ shortage. Several reasons will cause that problem: 1. The BOIS of the motherboard need to update. 2. The motherboard driver need to update (especialy USB driver and bus mastering driver) 3. Too many PCI devices that using IRQ installed 4. Hardware problem (hard to fix) You can try one of following things also (may help but not 100%): 1. remove one or two PCI devices that not used to free IRQ 2. change PCI device to different slot to re arrange IRQs 3. Disable IRQ for video card in BIOS 4. Disable ACPI in BIOS to free IRQ but you need to reinstall XP (last option, not recommend) Michael Can someone tell me how I can go about doign any of the 4 solutions above? They talk like I'm a pro at this stuff. Thank you so much.

Anyone else got any solutions for this horrible problem?

Well that didnt work either. This is really making me mad. I cannot do anything without my computer doing it.

I found this on HP.. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softw...item=pv-14534-2 Quote: Fixes: - Adds support for V.92 "Modem on Hold" applications. - Resolves an issue causing a system restart or stop (blue screen) when connecting to certain Internet Service Providers (ISP). That pretty much sums up my problem, but when I installed it, it did nothing for me. I'm still getting the error.

Nope.. that driver didn't work..

The colors are different. Mine is just white and you can't see through it. I'm going to try that on though, thanks.

I'm not sure of the model number, but on the thing it says: Ovis Link Wireless LAN USB stick 54mbps, and on the back of it it says: 802.11g Wireless LAN Mini USB Adapter.

I have Windows XP Pro with A Hewlett Packard Pavillion. Not sure how old it is, should be like 3 yrs I think. How do I tell what kind of motherboard I have to update it? Thanks so much Sampson.

I figuired out how to remove devices from the IRQ thing, but I don't know which ones I should remove. I removed a bunch but its still doing it. Heres whats in my IRQ, someone please tell me which ones are not needed and can be removed, thank you.
