I have a very simple issue, but hard to solve.

Hardware and software:

* WinXP Pro SP3.

* WiFi USB dongle, ZyXEL G-220 v2.

* ZyXEL WiFi Utility, allows Access Point mode. Without it, dongle works in client mode only, so other clients can't connect to PC (which is what I need).

* Client connecting to PC: iPod Touch.

What I did and/or what happened that lead to this issue:

* Changed version (installed new one) of ZyXEL G-220 v2 Wireless Adapter Utility ---> this was changed by me. Changing it back does not help.

* Driver version of ZyXEL WiFi dongle (G-220 v2) changed, not sure how or why, but it is now a 2006 driver, instead of 2007 (or even 2008, don't remember exactly) ---> I don't remember changing this one, but it changed somehow. I can't seem to be able to install a newer driver now.

Problem:

When I try to run the ZyXEL G-220 v2 Wireless Adapter Utility

"D:\Program Files\ZyXEL\ZyXEL G-220 v2 Wireless Adapter Utility\ZyXEL G-220 v2.exe"

I get a BSOD, saying:

А problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

An attempt was made to write to read-only memory.

Technical information:

*** STOP: 0x000000BE

*** NDIS.sys - address BAE67898 base at BAE4A000, datestamp 48025d03

Also, when trying to update the WiFi USB dongle driver to newer version, getting this:

---------------

Cannot Install this Hardware

An error occurred during the installation of the device

The name is already in use as either a service name or a service display name.

Click Finish to close the Wizard.

Many thanks for any help!

Can't tell from your post, is the driver(s) up-to-date? I suggest uninstalling the device from Device Manager, disconnecting the WiFi device, restart, once the OS boots up and nothing is loading up then reconnect the device. If the OS does not install it with PnP (Plug and Play) then get the latest driver, www.zyxel.com, download and install.
