Computer Refuses to Shut Down / Restart
Hello!
I recently installed a wireless card that, apparently, my motherboard / OS didn't seem to enjoy too much. I am running Windos XP Media Center Edition with a XGen4 Dell XPS.
I'm pretty sure this probelm is realated to the wireless network card that was installed, because while I had it plugged into my motherboard, I would get a blue screen while attempting to shut down after seeing the Windows is Shutting Down... screen. Now, I used Windows to install the hardware, and I don't know how to remove it. I removed the actual wireless card from my motherboard, but this isn't doing the trick it seems. Now, when I attempt to restart, it hangs on the "Windows is doing X task" screen (i.e. shutting down, restarting) and never gets past it.
The only thing I've tried doing is right clicking "My Computer" and going to manage. I removed all network adapters and reinstalled the one I use, which isn't wireless and causes no problems.
Anyone have any ideas?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
