| Re: [Info] A3AB.SYS Crashing hello! this is my first post (and first visit, actually!) to this forum, and I'm pleased that I'm not the only one going through this truly frustrating experience! I'm disappointed, however, that there doesn't seem to be a fix! 
I have a DI-624 router and a DWL-G520 pci card. I've been getting the BSOD randomly (though not very frequently, maybe once or twice a week at most) and it always seems to happen when I have a lot of windows open, am downloading a lot of stuff, or am just generaly using my connection more than normal.
I've done the same steps as KillerFreak, I even installed the card into a new PCI slot. it still crashes randomly as described above. The funny thing is my laptop ALSO crashes randomly, and that has a DWL G650! this one doesn't crash as often (maybe once a month or less), and usually in the same conditions. I should also mention that the laptop crashed once at my university! same type of blue screen, same device driver a3ab.sys! what's up with that!!
and yes, EVERY TIME it happens, I cannot reconnect to the internet until I unplug and reconnect the router! funny thing is though the pc connected (wired) to the router doesn't ever lose its connection!! what gives!!
now, having read through the forums, I've seen a few others having similar problems to this talk about "changing to the atheros drivers". what does that mean, does it work, and where do I get them?
killerfreak are you still having this problem?
thanks for your help fellas!

| Re: [Info] A3AB.SYS Crashing I had the same problem with my DWL-G520, first I tried the atheros drivers I found at this link(I think): »www.phoenixnetworks.net/atheros.php
That worked fine, but then I changed to a newer version of G520 drivers than I was using, which also has worked fine for 2 months or so. So if you don't already have the latest, just try updgrading from the D-Link site. | |

Mcallen, TX | Re: [Info] A3AB.SYS Crashing I'm using the latest drivers for both cards, but it still happens randomly (well, when I'm doing a lot of activity). My job is online, so this is an especially real pain... do all routers go through this crap?

If you're using the Atheros/D-Link utility to manage the card, try switching to Windows Wireless Zero Config and see if the problem happens there. There's a 50-50 chance that will avoid the issue.

| Re: [Info] A3AB.SYS Crashing haha 50/50 -- either it will or it won't 
but seriously tho, I am using the Windows Config not the dlink one... there was an ACS.bat file I took out of the startup, should I put that back in? what does it do? I have it on my laptop which crashes WAAAAY less... hmmmm
anyway I'm thinkin of just chucking the whole system and getting netgear

| Re: [Info] A3AB.SYS Crashing hey sorry I took so long to reply, the only thing in the acs.bat file is one line:
c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\acs.exe -h
damn dlink crap I was uninstalling Vistual Studio 2005 Beta 2 and it crashed right in the middle of it!! Now my registry is F*CKED and I can't install the new Express editions... thanks alot dlink, now I have to reformat my PC AGAIN THANKS TO YOU...
and I told them that too.. guess what their response was:
"Please use a registry editing tool (several free tools are available over internet) and fix the registry entries and then please retry the steps as given in the previous email to reinstall the adapter."
So I have to go in and fix the crap they caused to be f*cked up... and this after I had explicitly stated that I had ALREADY REINSTALLED THE FRIGGIN ADAPTER I AM GETTING NETGEAR!!

Heh, I'm reformatting today too (not because of D-Link, though), so I feel your pain.
Have you tried System Restore (Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore)? You might have a recent registry there. Then reinstall VS 2005, then uninstall it.
Disable the adapter while you do this.

Explanation: These two are the same device in all of the ways that matter. You can use the drivers from one on the other -- no problem.
