Belkin N card utility not responding

I have recently installed a Belkin F5D8013 network card. It comes with the utility and driver on disk, I have installed, upgraded many times but the utility is dead, does not respond to any commands. I end up using the xp utility. Anyone else have any ideas?

 

It may be that xp has the better driver. You might try Belkin online and see if you can download new software for it. Jazz

 

Been there done that. I have uninstalled and downloaded latest off the site. The problem is the driver and desktop utility are combined so I am stuck with a splash screen on boot up with the utility that is completely non-responsive to anything. I use xp for the card and I am ok with that but would like to uninstall the utility and just keep the driver but it seems I cannot do that
