RPC service hung on starting causes printers to disappear.

I just fixed a problem and thought I would let others know about it. I
recently installed a Belkin PCI wireless network card in a Windows 2000
Pro desktop PC . After that, the computer started having all kinds of
problems. I reinstalled the software but still had problems. One
problem was that the RPC service would hang and this caused all kinds
of other services to not start because of dependencies. The Print
Spooler service, the Com+ service, the Messengers service and others
would not start. I was also getting "Error initializing VBA" error in
Excel and the Office Assistant would not start. Also, I could not view
property pages in Event Viewer or Device Manager. This was all very
strange and seemed unconnected but it all started after installing the
wireless network card so after removing the software fix it, I figured
it had to be the hardware and sure enough it was. I haven't figured
out if it is just a bad card, bad software, or bad PCI slot. I am
going to try a USB wireless network adapter and see if that works.
