If you have a Linksys Wifi card and loaded the drivers on anything from a flat load to a long established software load, you may see the following error when you shut your system down (or start it up): Linksys Wireless Network Monitor: WMP54Gv4.exe - Application error. The instruction at '0x004ad57c' referenced memory at '0x02af1be2'. The memory could not be 'read'. The addresses may change. This happened on a WMP54G ver 4 I recently installed for a client. Analyzation: Linksys' Wireless Network Service (in this case, WMP54GV4SVC) seems to have WLService.EXE and WMP54GV4.EXE loading as a service. Error messages when shutting down appeared approximately when Windows XP was stopping drivers. Theory: WMP54GV4.EXE, appearing to be simply a network monitor, may not have to execute as a service. Does WLService do all the heavy lifting? Execution: 1. Edit registry, search for 'WLSERVICE'. Everytime it is found, see the words following it. In my example, the words following it were 'WMP54GV4.EXE' (including quotes). Delete that phrase. Continue for each registry entry. 2. Create new string in HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun 'WMP54GV4' = 'C:Program FilesLinksys Wireless-G PCI Wireless Network MonitorWMP54GV4.EXE' 3. Seems to work, no more crashes. But I do feel like something's going to cause problems, with this setup... ------------------------- I can't test this. So, people who are affected, please test away. Remember to back up registry before editing or set a System Restore point, I'm not liable for damages, void where prohibited, batteries not included, etc.
Linksys Wmp54gv4 Driver Windows 7
Click browse my computer for driver software-ignore the file location box under that is an option let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer click that-click network adaptors-under ralink find rt 3072 802.11b/g/n wireless lan usb device install that driver bc the linksys uses the same chipset and it should work like a charm. Next, disable the WMP54Gv4.0 wireless card in the network adapter devices menu, then uninstall it and the driver, remove any third party wireless software (TELUS in my case), then power down the computer and remove (unplug) the WMP54Gv4.0 card from the PCI socket in your computer.
