I had a similar problem with our Dlink DWL-650+ cards on Win2K Pro
Laptops. In the end I didn't have to look into it because we were
moving to WinXP Pro anyway and with that I just used WinXP's built-in
support for wireless networking (which supported the Texas chipset of
the wireless card).

Just guessing, maybe the pop-up message is from some DLink Wireless
monitoring software that must be run as administratratr but isn't
essential for wireless networking?

Sorry I couldn't help.

Thanks,

Bruce.
