I'll start off by saying i bought this pci wifi card and struggled with
performance issues on Windows XP x64 and after doing a clean install
of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with different drivers i had the same problem.
The problem was lag and stuttering slow downs in Explorer, basicly
if had Firefox open and my connection strength was fairly low i would
experience hitching / lags that would freeze up the whole operating system
EXTREMELY irritating to say the least !
The main issue was if the internet connection was weak and i was using
the internet with various programs like uTorrent or Firefox i was getting
stuttering that froze explorer and anything running basicly
The solution was to install the drivers from the company that made
the chipset Ralink http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php
The needed driver should be at the top of the list with a similar
model number.
Once i installed these Ralink drivers instead of the Airlink drivers
any hitching / lag issues vanished and never came back.
Note the driver cd that came with the card contains the same version
of drivers that are currently found on the Airlink web site.
Here is the link to the Airlink driver download page..

Windows 7 x64 Uknown Device (Code 43)
This seems to be a large problem out there and unfortunately i have no solution.
Also i did NOT have this problem on windows xp x86 or x64 previously.
I have plenty of USB devices and they all work perfectly fine on any port.
I also cleaned the motherboard two times once with dish soap
and another time with isopropenyl alcohol (with q tips)
In case there was any foreign debre creating a short on the mobo.
I also cleaned and inspected inside the usb port plugs, some people
have reported bent pins or garbage in there causing a problem.
Also tried re installing the usb controllers many times to no avail..
In case anyone is wondering if i have a Bad psu ? I use Aida64 to monitor
my voltages against what my bios reports and have used a Multimeter
to measure the voltage on my rails and there is no problem
Some people on the net have reported that unplugging their power supply
and discharging their computer helped because of a Capacitor issue
but this doesn't do me any good..
I have an Evga 680i SLI motherboard on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
I'd love to hear from anyone that has a solution to this phantom device issue
Nirsoft - USBDeview (Freeware) can show some handy USB data

Windows 7 - File/Folder Rename/Delete Problem & Fix
After installing windows 7 a while back i killed some services..
2 months later i was struggling with a random file delete / rename problem.
Turns out the solution (for me) was to RE enable the service
Application Experience
It turns out killing this service causes problems i guess
hope this helps someone out there it took me forever to figure this out !
