From: "Geo." 

Not quite antti, the setiqueue server I run is on one of those dells and
I'm still dealing with this nonsense. Dell still says for that model no
service packs from MS, I still don't listen to them. When I go to windows
update I still have to be careful not to accept the IntelPro100 driver
update as it will make it so I can't do a proper shutdown but I've solved
that too by putting a powerswitch there so I can powercycle the stupid box.
