I have crashing issues, and it seems to resolve around my USB Wireless Network Adapter.
Here's the story, my cable has been cut off, so I am leeching(with permission) off a friends/neighbors WAP. The cable company cut our line for some reason thinking I told them we want to stop our service, when all I wanted was to switch the name the account was under.
Anyways, they can't be out to fix their problem for a week becuase of these damned dirty hurricanes. So I had to take out a crappy Linksys 802.11b Wireless USB Network Adapter and plug it in. It installed itself and I was connected to the internet. I put on the Windows Firewall Protection just in case, I don't know how he has his WAP done, but it is unsecured.
However, my system will "stall" for a moment every now and then... then resume, however, I have been printing some documentation out, and the stalls will stop the printer(which is also USB).
Dunno if this is some kind of issue easily resolved, I just thought about going into the device properties and seeing if there is some sort of power management thing, and it did, I turned that off and maybe that will work. If not, I should know soon enough.
TIA

Just to restate, it's not a full crash, but a "stall".
Oddly, it just disconnected and reconnected without the stall this time, while typing for this post. Gotta be the USB... I'll try a couple more things later.
