I had a similar issue with mine. The wireless adapter has an IRQ issue, which may explain the issue. I would recommend turning it off and replacing it with either a mini PCIe wireless card (such as the intel 3 or 4000 series which are like $8-15 on ebay) or a USB wifi card.

Hi type in google search Everex stepnote driver download cheers

To verify if there is no driver installed in your wireless adapter you can go to the device manager and look for a question mark, if there is a question mark that means that there are drivers that are not installed in your computer-possible is your wireless driver. You can follow the link below to download and install the driver for your wireless. If there's no yellow question mark visible in your device manager that means that all drivers are installed properly including your wireless driver. If you don't have a utility for your wireless adapter you may have to use the wireless zero configuration of XP.

click Start > Run > type services.msc then look for the Wireless Zero Configuration. Double click it and on the pop-up window set it to automatic and click on start button then press ok. A wireless icon on the lower right corner of your screen should appear if you turn on your wireless adapter. Usually a laptop uses a key combination to turn on wireless adapter.

Fn + F2 etc. etc. You can look for a button that has the wireless symbol and if you see that just press the Fn button following the button for the button that has the wireless signal.
