I recently got a new tower, which I attached to my old monitor and speakers. It's an HP Pavillion tower, model a805n, with a pentium 4 processor, 160 gigabytes of hard drive space, and it came with Windows XP.
Everything works fine except for one thing. For my old tower, I've been connected to the internet through a router on another computer, that I access with an adapter. It's a Netgear MA111 adapter. It works just fine on the old Dell tower, but when I try to install the thing on my new HP tower, the tower suddenly shuts itself down and restarts, and it'll keep doing that every time it tries to start windows, until I just unplug the adapter, at which point I have to do a system restore to fix the whole mess.
What could be causing this? Does XP have a problem with this thing? Do I have to buy a new adapter now?
