HI guys, I need your help. I had a netgear wireless usb adapter a while back hooked up to my computer. I just got hooked back up to a landline last month since the adapter was going bad. I went to add/remove programs and it won't let me remove it. The other thing is when my computer restarts it ( netgear usb setup screen) pops up and it won't let me close it out. I have to go to end task in order to get it to close out. What can I do to remove the program? Thanks guys. Feel free to talk in layman's terms. If you get too technical I will get lost.

I'm running XP service pack two. It's a home computer. I'm the only one that uses it but I haven't set up an administrator thingy, or at least I don't think I have. Usually problems I've had that required the administrator password prompted me. Hope this info helps you. And thanks for your help.

hmm.. at the minimum it needs to be prevent from running.. needs the registry's run entry removed.  hopefully it doesn't have a service either.



yeah, too technical.

my suggestion would be to disable it from msconfig
