   Linksys and WinXP

   Hi,   
      First post here....   
      Just 'birthed' a new Athlon 64 system and have installed Win XP Pro.   
     While the install was under 'ADMIN', I included the software, for a   
   Linksys 2.4Ghz USB antenna and it went fine, although I couldn't connect   
   right away.  I assigend the subnet values and let it go at that point.   
      Rebooting and creating user accounts, I noticed the wireless device   
   wasn't operating, so I removed and reinserted it.   
       Power light goes on, then off and WinXP says device isn't recognized   
   or has malfunctioned.   
      I've tried to uninstall and reinstall, but add/remove programs isn't   
   able to remove all software.    Resorted to Regedit to remove most   
   Linksys entries ( some just wont go)  Finally killed all processes that   
   use linksys tasks and deleted the DIR under program Files.   
      
      This wireless device works fine on a Win2K and a Win98 system, so   
   what's the voodoo to getting it working on an XP system. help?
