Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility for Windows* XP 32-Bit

Question

I have a Latitude D620. I recently upgraded the Intel Proset wireless utility to the latest version. Now I get an error message that says it wants to send a message to Microsoft and it must shut down. I have XP pro SP3. It was working fine until I upgraded. I read through the notes from Intel but don't see anything there. I can use the wireless card through Windows with no problems. Any thoughts?

If you don't specifically require the extra features that ProSet offers, then don't use it.  Window's built in WZC works fine for most common networking situations.  My only other thoughts are to try uninstalling and reinstalling ProSet.  Make sure you get the latest version of ProSet and the Intel Driver directly from intel.com.

I like using Proset better than the one with Windows. I have uninstalled the version that came with the laptop and reinstalled the latest version of ProSet from Intel. I have even uninstalled that one as well as reinstalled it and get the same problem. I will also add that this upgrade was recommended by Dell as part of the driver and software upgrade program.
