Windows XP and install conflicts with Netgear Wireless adapter WG311

by nanatwo . Updated 16 years, 3 months ago

I installed the driver software for the Netgear Wireless-G PCI Adapter WG311 per mfg. Instructions. After the software loaded I got a screen that said Windows XP doesn?t recognize the Wireless adapter. I hit enter the next screen said turn off the computer and install the card. I opened the HD and found no empty PCI slot so I removed the modem card, inserted the wireless PCI card, turned the computer back on. It beeped three times and then nothing. The hard drive has power but none of the plugins work, ie., monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I removed the Netgear PCI card and replaced the modem but it still beeps three time and nothing. Netgear says their hardware conflicted with my hardware but has offered no solution. The beep code is ?First 64 KB memory failure.? Since I didn?t touch the RAM memory I?m assuming the driver software is causing the conflict. My computer is a donated Gateway GT5026E with no known upgrades. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
