Default Wireless adapter conflict Vista boot

Hello there,

I just purchased an HP m8330f loaded with Vista Home Premium. This machine
does not come withe wireless capabilities. I purchased a Linksys Wireless
Network adapter, downloaded the drivers for Vista and was able to connect to
the Internet without any difficulties. However, once I tried to reboot the
machine, Vista would not load. As soon as I unplug the adapter from the USB
port, Vista loads without a glitch. If the computer goes into sleep mode, it
crashes.

Any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?

Thank you!

Isabelle

It could be the BIOS issue. Have you check if there is a new BIOS for your
computer?

Thank you, I will look into this. I just got this computer and although it is
brand new, it may need some updates.
