I have windows XP w/ SP2. When I install the drivers from the CD the dlink manager conflicts with the windows config. I've tried giving control to the d-link program which did not work and I've let windows run the program aswell. In both cases windows would hang repeatedly for a few seconds at a time. I could not get windows to stop conflicting with the d-link program. Does anyone know a fix for this?? Help is appreciated.

Do not install the setup for the dlink manager. If installed, uninstall from Add/Remove Programs. When Windows asks for the drivers for the card just point it to the folder that contains the driver files. Then Windows can manage the Wireless connection.

Thanks very much :D, I'll give that a try when I get home.

I tried the drivers only fix which didn't work. Installed the driver from windows SP3. It works but windows still hangs momentarily. I'm wondering if there is a resource conflict between this and the Realtek HD Audio that came with my mobo.
Some info on my machine:
XP with SP3
Q9550 3.6 Ghz
Asrock X48 Wifi Mobo
2Gig corsair ram
80 gig HD Para
Dlink DWA-542
Radeon 9200 Legacy Card
