Our wireless networking has quit working, in a quite impressive manner; plugging in the little USB wireless do-dads makes the computer flash up a blue screen of death and reboot before it can be read, on start-up. From the state of the current Microsoft patches, it appears it's a WinXP USB bug they haven't quite swatted yet, after having introduced it with some other update.

We are not amused.

Update:
By a procoess of uninstalling and installing the USB drivers, it now mysteriously works again. We're still not *that* amused. Well, slightly.
