I had exactly this problem with a 3CRPAG175 and my Dell Inspiron 8000, also
running Win XP Pro. Strangely the problem was only there when I was running
at 802.11g speeds. When I changed my router to 802.11b speeds the problem
vanished. Interestingly the card also worked perfectly at both speeds in my
the same laptop when running Windows Me. It was only g speeds and XP that
caused a problem. Sometimes it was just momentary mouse freezes but
ultimately the laptop would freeze completely with CPU at 100% and the only
option was to hit the power button.
I spent months trying to resolve this with 3Com and in the end they refunded
me in full (I hadn't even bought the card from them!). I am now using a
Netgear WG511 with no problems whatsoever.

Try searching Google Groups for 3CRPAG175 and you'll find a few more
threads/comments. Long story short, I suspect you will need to get a
different card.
