This is what I think is happening - though the OP may not have actually
installed the device twice, the result can be the same - the same device
listed two or more times in the hardware section.

Hi everyone,

I have a curious problem with one of my computers there running Windows
XP.

Some time when I boot up my computer, I can see that drivers to the
USB-controllers/USB-ports load very slowly.

Practically I can see the problem if I go to the Device Manager, where
one
of the connected device (a USB-wireless-card called Netgear WNA3100) is
shown with "#2" after the name of the device, and the connection to my
wireless network not working.

If I unplug the wireless-card and set the card back again, Windows XP
now
recognise the card correctly, and "#2" is disappeared and my connection
working fine.

On my other computer, the wireless-card working fine when I boot up, so
I
guess that my problem be caused by the USB-drivers.

I have installed the latest drivers to my wireless card, tried a new
USB-port et cetera.

Have any person heard about the problem before, and could give me a
solution?

My operating system is Windows XP Service Pack 3 with the latest updates
installed from Microsoft.

Very thanks for the answers.

With #2 , it could be a double install , with the program searching for
the
correct software .
