Netgear and windows messenger

[Flying_V]

Ok, this has been bugging me for ages.

With my netgear wireless software I start my PC up but messenger is always offline as the wireless connection isn't available quickly enough for it to connect.

If I let windows manage my connection it works but a) i want the netgear software to do it b) it gives me a big dialog box everytime i start up saying i must choose either the netgear software (recommended) or windows.

I've looked into changing the order of programs at windows startup but it doesn't seem that easy to do. Is there an easier way?

I usually let the "reconnect in__ " function of windows messenger run. Eventually when my computer connects to the internet, messenger can sign itself in.

I have for a long time pondered about what software to use with my Netgear setup. I used to use Netgear's CDs, but the trouble is I found it very unstable and would constantly disconnect, but when it was running we connected at 108mbs. With it disabled it's just 64mbs.

Ok, i'll try that. It doesn't seem to even want to reconnect though, I have to double click messenger and click sign in to even get on. I have sign in automatically ticked too.
