Belkin F5D7050 nightmare

Just set my new Windows XP SP2 PC up with a network card and then tried to install a Belkin F5D7050 wireless USB adapter. It wouldn’t install, complaining first of a “code 10” error, then a “code 28” error.

After much reinstalling, Googling, registry hacking and other such nonsense, the fix described at http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=823771
sorted the problem out.

I have setup hundreds of wireless USB adapters for students around lincoln and never had this kind of problem before with Belkin stuff.  It seems to be a problem with uninstalling registry keys, which leaves your PC scuppered :/
