    i know i know this thing is outdated by like 3 years. but i just can't get rid of it. i've reloaded xp tablet literally dozens of times, as of this most recent reload my wireless card no longer works, well i shouldn't say it doesn't work but if i try to turn it on i will imediatly get the bsod, i haven't been able to use it for more then 2 months and my campus is completly covered in wide open 802.11b/g.
    i haven't been able to figure out why it happens, if tried changing the irq uninstalling it completly updating to the latest and greatest drivers going to drivers between a few months ad a few years old and no matter what.... bsod, driver filename is w70n51.sys, i know it works under vista but i don't want to switch to vista yet as i'm weary of using an "unofficial" os as my primary. does anyone, anyone have any suggestions or ideas or perhaps even know exactly whats wrong? :confused:
