This is usually caused by Windows XP Servicepack 3.
Before you uninstall it, try to get the latest driver for your WLAN card/stick and see if it fixes the problem.

Conceivably you'll need to look at updating your router firmware (if you're running a router).

Hi all,
I fixed my PC and here's how I did it:

I tried system restore to Nov. 1 and that didn't work. I then tried system restore Oct. 18 and that didn't work either. I then uninstalled SP3 and rebooted PC. All kinds of updates started to download and my PC froze. I had to hard PC and uninstall SP3 again! I then rebooted and updates started again and SP3 downloaded right and the error message is gone!

Yipeee!!!
Thanks, Kathy
Excellent, thanks for the feedback!  Presume the computer is now normal in all other respects?
Thanks that was the easiest way to fix the problem.
Thank you.
