USB Wireless adaptor crashes XP

Hello, members and moderators

I purchased two Encore ENUWI-B-SICA 802.11B Pensize adaptor

http://www.encore-usa.com/product.php?id=105&lang

for my two PCs with Windows XP_PE installed, and these little thing
perform very nicely and fast. The only thing that surprises me is tha
after a while, say about two or three hours of surfing the Web
suddenl
the PC in turn stops working and Windows shows a blue screen statin
that it has shut off the system in order to avoid further damages t
it
Besides, the cause is reported to be a "bad page call" or somethin
like that plus some parameters unknown to me. It also recommend
that if it is the first time it happened, I should restart the machine
otherwise, I should check the hardware installed, etc., so I have t
turn off and restart the machine in order to resume my navigations.
and there! it happens again

This phenomenom occurs exactly in both PCs which incidently hav
different motherboards, one is a Compaq 5WV233 and the other on
is a PCCHIPS M810LMR, both in perfect operating conditions

Previous to this, I used to have two Wireless PCI cards of differen
makes installed in both of my PCs and which worked flawlessly fo
hours and hours on end without any problem whatsoever but I ha
to give them to my son, and now that I wanted to switch to thes
little gems, this problem has arisen

Does any one of the members of this forum have any idea about wha
sort of conflict is happening between this USB adaptor and my PCs an
if there is any solution to that? I'd hate to throw them away

Thank you very much in advance for any comment/advice that yo
may want to add here

Ruben

Not sure, but I have the same problem with a USB mouse and Win2000.
Seems I read that there were some USB fixes for XP in SP2 but I dont
remember exactly what they were for. Are you runing SP2?

I have found that if a USB adapter fits loose. If it looses it connection
for a moment will do this.
