    Losing WMP11 Driver

    I'm working on an old PIII 450 Gateway w/ Win98se. It keeps losing it's wireless nic driver (WMP11). If I do a cold boot it launches the new hardware wizard. It says it found "PCI Card" and even if I point to the driver it still won't load it. Then I reboot and it works. Reboot all day, works fine. Cold boot it's gone till reboot. I have loaded the newest driver from Linksys. There is no newer bios available from Gateway. I tried different PCI slots. I ran Windows Update. I thought it may be the battery, but the time and date stay correct. I don't know what else to try.

    Any thoughts?
    Indeterminism. There's nothing you can do about it.

    On a cold boot... does it give you some sort of error or just won't find the driver?

    No error, just the new hardware wizard. It wont take the driver. Then reboot and it works, no wizard.

    Have you tried cancelling the wizard and going into device manager and setting it up in there before rebooting? Or let it finish and not find the driver... then go to device manager find the device and force the driver in? I mean instead of searching for the file you say you want to use that file specifically?
