The problem occurs whether or not the Intel PROSet for Windows Device Manager is installed.ThinkVantage Access Connections isn't installed, so wouldn't seem to have any bearing on the problem.Turning off driver Power Management doesn't help.


Hide any updated driver in Microsoft/Windows Update to prevent unintentionally recreating this problem in the future.Use Windows XP Driver Roll Back or Uninstall/reboot/reinstall to go back to the original Windows XP driver, or otherwise install an older driver that doesn't exhibit this problem.My hypothesis is that this problem was introduced by Intel in Version 8 of its drivers, probably as a well-intended minor improvement that fell prey to the Law of Unintended Consequences.
