    I just re-installed XP, and I want my fn+f5 options to allow me to turn on/off my WLAN.

    But everytime I try to install Lenovo's drivers, Windows XP automatically installs its own drivers first, not allowing me to install Lenovos.

    Does anybody know how I can install the drivers or turn off Window XP's PnP so it won't automatically install things?

    I think what you want is Access Connection, not a driver? I'm not sure about this though.

    By the way, to force WinXP using our choice of driver, you have to get into device manager (start >> run >> "devmgmt.msc") and find WLAN, then right-click >> update driver

    After that, you have to follow this:-
    >> No, not this time (windows update)
    >> Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)
    >> Don't search, I will choose the driver to install
    >> Have disk, then choose the driver you want.

    Now you will get your driver working as you want.
