The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

dlink dwl-g520 drivers and windows xp problem

Asked by Dark_Raver in General Computer Systems

Tags: driver, xp, dlink, windows

I am installing my friends wireless pci card (dlink dwl-g520) into his new pc.
the old pc was a 350MHz hp pavilion running windows xp pro.
the new pc is a pentium 4 2.8, with 256DDR and asus p4vp-mx mobo running the same windows xp pro but integrated sp2.

the card worked fine in his old computer but in this one it seems to be impossible to get it working.
i have tried everything i could think of without resolution.

as far as i can tell, bios assigns an irq to the card but when the drivers are loaded during windows start up, the irq changes, and everything freezes!!

i tried older and newer drivers, disabled xp firewall ( this was the best suggestion from tech support), disabled wireless zero configuration, and also disable the utility that comes with the drivers from starting to make sure they arent causing this.

when i go into safe mode, the card appears fine, and depending which pci slot its in has irq 5 in pci slot 1, and irq 3 in pci slot 3.
it doesn't share the irqs with any other device.

if the card drivers are not installed, even in normal mode, it is also on one of the two irqs. as soon as the drivers are installed, having device manager open, i can see that the irq of the card changes, if it starts with 3 it goes to 19, if 5 then to 15.
the new irqs are not used by any other devices either.
sometimes it crashes right away, sometimes longer, usually under a minute.

sorry for the long post but i wanted to get as much useful info out as possible. if i left anything out, please ask.
i don't know what to do any more, this card has been working fine for a year now in the other pc and never had any issues.

any help or suggestions are very welcome, willing to do just about anything at this point.
