Windows ME and Linksys WMP11 Wireless PCI Adapter

When I try to install the Linksys WMP11, PCI wireless adapter into a Windows
ME machine it complains about the display driver no longer being compatible
and boots in safe mode. Trying to set the display to anything other than
640 x 480 results in the machine booting, showing the WIndowsME splash
screen then hanging with a blank screen.

When I do finally get things booted and running with the display in 640 x
480 mode I fail to make a connection to the Wireless Access Point. I'm
guessing that the first issue is the reason why I can't connect as well.

Anyone have any hints? Linksys didn't!

It's a Dell Dimension 4100 with their built in video card. I believe that
it's a NVidia but I don't know much else about it. The machine is
essentially as it was from Dell including the Windows ME installation. I
was thinking of upgrading the machine to Windows 2000, but that I guess
would open up a whole new set of troubles.

Found some problems with nVidia & Linksys in Linux, but obviously that
doesn't apply.

Can you reinstall your video drivers ? (Best to check Dell's website for
upgrades first as the card may be custom built for Dell). Then
reinstall the Linksys driver.
