I was fiddling around with the WIRELESS card in my dell dimension 5150, just to see what it was (i didn't know that it was a wireless card at first). I unconnected it for a second, then put it back in. when i TURNED on my computer, it came up with a screen TELLING me that windows couldn't start properly because of new hardware.
it gave me the options of running in safemode, last good configuration, or normally. I've tried all of the options, each one freezes my computer, i really don't know what is wrong since the card is where it was before, and i haven't CHANGED it out for anything. i use windows xp 32bit.try to check if theres dust or debree in the slotDid you take precautions well handling the Hardware?

I did'nt see any, although i blew some compressed air in it just to be safe.
 Yes

did you try turning the PC on without the Wireless card?

yes, i tried booting it with and without the card and got the same results
