Receive "Internal configuration is inconsistent" After Installing R242902

I recently "upgraded" to the latest wireless drivers for my Latitude E6500 by installing R242902 and now every time I boot the machine or restore it from standby mode I receive an error alert stating "R242902 "Internal configuration is inconsistent.  Please restart the machine to resolve the problem."  I did the typical search through Google to try to find out what the issue was, but no luck.  It appears this has been a problem for years now (come ON Dell, get your act together), but few solutions are posted, with the most common one being to stop the Wireless Zero Configuration service so that Windows can manage the wireless connections.  This works in so far as being able to connect then using Windows' connection manager, but I am still unable to use the Dell utility.  One other annoyance with that solution is the Wireless Zero Configuration service appears to stop every time I restart/restore from standby my machine, so for now I just have a batch file I run that starts the service which I have to run every time I turn on the machine - very annoying.

I'd like to know if there are any other solutions to this issue and if anyone knows why it happened in the first place.  A coworker of mine with the exact same laptop and setup ran the R242902 update and had no problems at all, so I don't understand what is unique about my system that I am receiving this error.

Again, this is on a Latitude E6500 running Windows XP (with latest service packs).  I have a Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card network adapter.  Thanks for any help anyone can provide!
