Re: Linksys driver causing crashes...HELP!

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I'm having the exact same issues as you, crashes when I go into
Explorer...unless I go in via the message from Microsoft after the crash,
telling me to check Linksys for updates. Never crashes then, and it doesn't
crash when I have auto-downloading occurring. Let me know if your swap-out
with the ethernet cable works...I have to dig through my closet to find mine,
but I'm going to try that next as well.
Regards,

David
