I've never used this card, so the following are just some general
suggestions (and a summary of the suggestions from other posters):

1. Look for an uninstall option that will leave the drivers and
uninstall the USR utility.

2. Look for just the XP drivers on the install CD or the
manufacturer's web site (usually an .inf file and a .sys file). These
are often labeled as Windows 2000 drivers. Then use device manager to
install just the drivers, and use MS Zero Config for wireless setup.
(This works well with a Linksys card I have).

3. See if you can get just the drivers from the MS Windows driver
install wizard (which requires a second network connection).

4. See if you can disable loading the USR configuration utility (look
in the start-up folders and in the run hive in the registry). Then
just use Zero Config for wireless setup. (This also works with a
Linksys card I have).

5. Uncheck the box in Zero Config that states "Use Windows to
configure my wireless network" and just use the USR utility.
