wireless probem, maybe xp related?

bout a month ago I bought an abit IC7 and a P4 2.4C. Put it all together, but had a little problem with my wireless nic, a d-link airplus 802.11b. When I first install the card as per directions, i get little freezes for about 3-5 seconds and then it will unfreeze for 3-5 seconds and keep repeating the process until I have gone into the network program and gotten it to connect up to my router. Once its connected its fine, but any little pause in the connection will cause a little freeze. I didnt think this was a problem until I tryed playing a game online, after a while eventually playing online I would I assume get one of these freezes because my computer hard lock and sometimes just crashes to a reboot. I then decided it must be my card, which ran fine in my old box I might add, so I went and got a netgear usb wireless. Well, same problem, so now I am sure its just that I got a bunk board. I sent it back and got it back today. With a full reinstall of XP I get it again. I had tried every driver for it that I could, new board bios, all windows updates, nothing helped. I have tried any bios setting that has to do with pci stuff but thats not helping either. I have looked through the XP event viewer and only found this error:

The COM+ Event System failed to fire the ConnectionMade method on subscription {4515EE1C-7D96-4424-B0AF-D653A4E89199}-{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}-{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}. The subscriber returned HRESULT 80004001.

Not sure if that is related or not. I am now assuming its and XP problem maybe? But i was running XP with my old board and this card just fine I have yet to try wired networking as I dont have a cable long enough to reach my router but I will maybe try tomorrow.

Thanks

I noticed these freezes come with spikes in cpu usage on my task manager. But since it is froze it wont show what program is using the cpu time, it will only display the spike on the graph.
