If you have an older laptop with a Texas Instrument PCMCIA adapter and install the D-Link AirPlus G Wireless Adapter Utility, it will hang up and never finish the one time D-link registry update (REG.EXE). Although your wireless adapter may still work, REG.EXE from the D-link subdirectory will execute each time you reboot, and get hung up again causing your Win 2000 services.exe to use 90-100% of your CPU time. After I removed the D-link REG.EXE from my windows startup, windows and D-link DWL-G630 worked fine.
D-Link phone technical support knows about this problem, but has no website search information on their D-link REG.EXE, or FAQ reference to this problem. They just say your hardware is not compatible and you have to update you PCMCIA BIOS, not that REG.EXE is hanging up you system and cannot be detected by Virus scan or Ad-ware remover. D-links does not provide any website support to notify you of this known REG.EXE problem or a D-Link
REG.EXE removal tool.
