Blue screen & OS lockup - may be wireless driver related

[K. Eng]

I was downloading some Windows updates yesterday and I got a BSOD. Luckily, Windows simply rebooted and was able to finish downloading and installing the updates without any problems at all.

Today, I was disconnecting from a wireless network using Access Connections when Windows suddenly froze. I had to hold down the power button to get the system to turn off. When I rebooted, everything was fine.

I was running the second newest wireless driver (4.0.100.140) and Access Connections 3.70. 4.0.100.140a exists for the wireless card but doesn't provide any fixes.

I have downloaded and installed Access Connections 3.71, which has a few minor fixes. I hope this solves my problems... any advice?

I have that wireless driver version and I use Access Connections 3.71. I am not having any problems. Two suggestions:
1. Uninstall Access Connections, then uninstall the wireless NIC, then reboot, then install the wireless NIC, and then install Access Connections.
2. Consider purchasing Registry First Aid. It has fixed Access Connections issues (self-imposed) for me.

Ok did that and haven't had any problems I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that I don't get a BSOD.
