Hi,
My PC frequently runs very slowly. Task Manager showed two instances of WPN111.exe (the manager for my Netgear WPN111 wireless adapter), each instance using up over 400Meg of memory and climbing. Questions:
(1) Has anyone else seen this problem? Any idea of the cause and cure?
(2) I am running Windows XP Pro with separate logins for several members of my family. Each person currently logged in gets their own instance of the WPN111.exe program running. This seems a bad design: why shouldn't the program be a system program, running a single instance?
(3) The program typically uses 5-7% of the CPU, even if nothing is being downloaded. This seems excessive. Is there a fix?
(4) The wireless connection seems to get dropped a lot. Popping the wireless adapter out and back in usually cures it. If there a better solution?
Regards,
Ponge
