    Is there any way to disable it?

    I have a Dell E1705 with the Intel 3945ABG chipset and this wizard pops up every time I start the computer. I try to check "Do not launch this wizard again." but it continues to launch. If I click Next it asks for the Ownership ID and Device ID for routers that aren't mine.

    It's very annoying, anyone have an answer?

    Is this the Intel software? If so, I'd remove it, I found it to be terribly annoying when setting up an M1210 for my father-in-law.

    Sounds like Intel PROset. I would go in the control panel, and uninstall it. It will work fine still with windows controlling the card

    Be sure to NOT uninstall the drivers. Uninstalling the ProSet application itself is fine, just leave the drivers box checked.
