I did install this as it is mentioned on the site but still no go. Grrr

Many thanks for the info on Thinkpad models. I am sure you are right it's just that when you have something you really like that is quite old you tend to think a later model might be even better but I am beginning to see that may not be the case so I am sticking with what I have. One little snag I h...

Yes,
Great to get a result! Just a quick one off topic. Is the T61 altogether better than my T42? If not which would be the cream of the Thinkpads?

I couldn't really let this go so I studied the Lenovo downloads page and followed the instructions to find my present WiFi driver by date. Having established this I noticed that any driver beginning 8.*** would not update without first uninstalling Intel Sebring and the Wireless Pro drivers. I did t...

Must be great having speeds like that. Internet service providers offer all sorts of ADSL speeds here but when it comes to it, where I live in a rural area max we can get is 2mb!!
I will post more on my wireless problem if and when I can see some light at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. By cable I mean fibre optic(Unlike the majority of broadband connections in the UK, which use telephone lines or mobile networks, fibre-optic broadband is transferred along special cables under the ground. The signals move a lot faster than they do along copper cables and offe...

Yes, there are certainly similarities because they are both affected by a wifi signal. Today I went to the other company premises and they were most helpful. They switched off their router while I booted the computer. Worked fine, then they booted the router and as soon as it synced I got a BSOD. Th...

Many thanks for reply, I will work my way through your list of items at weekend to see if I can come up with anything( I have already tested the ram so ok there) The more I look at this problem the more I think it may be a setting or encryption like you suggest. I worked all day on a Mercedes in a r...

Just an update. Not good results, same problem and computer took ages to shutdown with "program not responding-end now sample" or something like that, also lost the Fn+F5 facility. I'm afraid I have had to uninstall and revert back. I do wonder why this BSOD only happens adjacent to company wi-fi's ...

Sorry for delay in posting, neighbours called round! Did as you suggested and all has gone well. I did end up with a different Connection Manager which had a red cross in it and didn't list any networks. I think it's probably because Windows is managing the connection. I have gone into msconfig and ...

Many thanks for the reassurance, I will go ahead and install the Intel driver when I arrive home from work this evening. Do I have to uninstall the present driver or just install over the top? I will then try the T42 in the field on Tuesday at the same venue as the last BSOD. Sorry for being a bit h...

Thanks for getting back so quickly. I am getting a little nervous now as I don't want to lose what I have. If I create a restore point will that allow me to revert to the driver I am using now? In the tray I have the Pro wireless connection manager giving me details of my adapter as Intel Pro/wirele...

Looked in Device Manager and it lists it as Intel(R)Pro/Wireless2200BG with drivers C:\WINNT\sytem32\w22ns.sys and C:\WINNT\system32\w22ncpa.dll. I have done as you suggested and entered 2373-L94. It does show my adapter but I have no way of knowing if I have the correct drivers. I have tried driver...

Many thanks for your reply and interest. Not quite sure which adapter I have as it is internal. Is there somewhere I can find this out without looking inside? Sorry to be a bit thick!
Thanks
Clive

Have a T42 running XP which is used for vehicle diagnostics, email, and some browsing. It works fine within the home wireless network. Absolutely great fast little machine. However when I take to certain venues it will give me the Not_Less_Than_Equal BSOD about 20 second after boot. It will run in S...
