I recently received a new system (Dell 8100) w/ Win XP installed and wanted to use my NetGear MA111 wireless USB adapter to establish connectivity to the internet, as I had done on my old (Compaq) computer. However, after every installation attempt, I get the BSOD, saying BAD _POOL and until I disconnect the adapter, it holds on. I'm using the CD that came with the adapter to install the drivers. The new system does have an onboard LAN installed and i tried disabling it to see if any difference - none. the old system used Win98. Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling adapter multiple times. Appreciate any ideas, help.

The
Stop: 0x?? error code is like a key code to the solution.

Introduction to Stop Errors
"Stop errors in a nutshell are errors that are serious enough to cause Windows to stop. They are similar to the blue screen errors that were present on Windows 9x, however there is no option to try and resume the session in a Windows NT Stop Error (Windows 2000 and all XP members included)."
