There are a few questions regarding my current and potential computer setup on which I would like to seek your expertise. First, when shutting down Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 the computer hangs and does not progress through the shutdown motions. The only way to complete the shutdown is to use CTRL-ALT-DEL.

Why isn’t Vista compatible with this adapter, as don’t all Ethernet cards do the same thing? Finally, when starting Windows Media Player a message appears informing that the program cannot start because the user id was not found in the Dynamic Link Library. Can you explain the meaning of this message, and how it may be resolved? (more…)
