Cannot remove WLAN and reinstall it under XP SP2

Problem: XP SP2 was giving me an error(I cannot remember the error-might have been an "exception" error- too quick to correct the problem) about my linksys WLAN B utility after the PC booted up and was running. I did have a wireless connection though. I just could not use the WLAN utility. Tried to remove the utility and start all over (silly me). Tried to remove the utility thru its uninstall. It said it was removed but upon trying to reinstall it now says "The WLAN monitor and driver for the WMP11V4 have already been installed. blah, blah , blah...Run the uninstall program from from the "Wireless-B PCI adapter program group"".
I have done that, removed it using the Add/Remove program control panel, deleted ALL references from the Registry. Finally had to turn on WZC and let Windoze manage the wireless link for all to work.
Did some research and I may think the WLAN utility is not supported under XP SP2. Is this true. The problem did seem to come into existence after SP2 was on for a while.
Can I get my utility back? Why does it think WLAN is still installed? The PC does not automatically connect to my wireless network any more. I must tell it to connect. Can this be corrected?
I broad cast my SSID as "notlinksys", run WEP and filter MAC addresses. All works but want to connect automatically and not have Windoze WZC.

Happy Holidays to this entire group.

Have you tried removing the pci adapter in device manager. This should
allow a reinstall.
