Title: Boot Problems
Post by: buiburton on January 24, 2009, 12:35:38 PM: Please Help.
I purchased a DWA-130 ver A1 usb adapter and a DIR-615 router for Christmas.
I have everything installed and the network functions fine.
I have updated my DWA-130 driver to the 1.3 version that is the most current on the web.
In my device manager it says that the driver is 1.0.5.2 dated 3/19/08 and provided by Marvel.
Through some research I believe that this is the same driver I am not sure why it is being called two different things in two places.
My operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium.

The problem is that when I try to start my computer with the usb adapter plugged in it takes six and a half minutes to boot to the login screen.
When the usb adapter is removed it only takes me one minute to boot to the login screen.
I have called tech support and they have no idea.
I have searched both this forum and several others online to try and resolve this problem.

If someone can please help I would be forever greatfull!

I have called tech support several times, but they have no idea what the problem is.

I also have Windows Live One Care for spyware and virus protection. I have scanned my computer and it came up clean. I have learned to live with the problem, but it is very annoying.

Selecting Boot Normally and it will boot up OK - but every boot was the same error. I now remove the unit (plugged into front of DELL XPS 420) and boots are OK and fast.
What I believe is happening is that Vista is trying to access the Adapter too early in the process. It needs to access the correct driver first, then it can work with unit. The obvious answer is that the unit must be made towork with the native VISTA drivers that can be loaded prior to the Unit.
