3Com a/b/g Xjack card installation problem

    Hi there,

    I can't seem to find any solution to my problem with my 3Com 3CRPAG175 Wireless a/b/g card with XJack antenna, running on XP Home (no Service Pack installed because it didn't install at all with SP2! - I'll deal with that later...in the meantime my computer is clean).

    So I have completely reformated my computer (Compaq Presario Laptop) and the first thing I have tried to install is this wireless card in an effort to avoid any hassle. Your supposed to install via the CD, with the card removed. I do this, however, after XP detects the card and sets a restore point, copies the necessary files, it tells me (everytime!) that the hardware may not work properly. In device manager the wireless card has an error icon and it tells me that the device cannot start (code 10). I have tried reinstalling the card repeatedly, restarting the computer, etc. I have also downloaded the latest installation file from the 3Com website - it looks like an identical process to the CD - but still get the same error. Troubleshooting recommends uninstall and reinstall which does sweet FA!

    Please help me! I have no other hardware conflicts, and I've even uninstalled my network card (which was disabled already) in an effort to get the wireless card working. There's no other programs installed on the PC as of yet.

    Argh! :eek:

    Forget it it somehow worked with a huge combination of repairs/reinstalls and fluke. :)
