First, mount the CD and search to find *.inf.  There should be one for 
Win9x and one for XP/2K probably in separate folders.  Copy the entire 
folder (to include *.cat and *.sys files) to your HD.  Right-click the 
inf and select Install (without the card inserted).  This installs the 
driver.  Then insert the card.  It should be identified.

If you cannot find the *.inf file, then go the USR and download the 
latest driver version.

To disable the USR utility, Start/Run command, type: msconfig[enter]. 
Select the startup tab, find the USR utility by name and uncheck the box 
in front of it.  Reboot. Alternatively, Start/Run command/type: 
regedit[enter] and navigate to 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and 
find the entry for the USR utility and delete the key for it.

To remove the USR utility permanently, Control Panel/Add Remove Programs 
and uninstall the utility.  The driver, if already installed should 
remain installed unless USR has done something different than one would 
normally expect.

To disable Wireless Zero Configuration, Control Panel/Administrative 
Tools, Services option. Find WZC in the list, right click Stop to stop 
the service.  Right-click Properties and set the Startup type to 
Disabled.  Reboot

One of these should get you to where you want to be.
