Hello,

I have a laptop that I've had for over a year, running Windows XP Media 
Edition without a problem.

I recently went on vacation (flew in two planes) with my laptop.

Now that I'm home, I can run my laptop with wireless and battery.  If I plug 
in my AC adapter, it blue screens.

I can also run it with my AC adapter plugged in, but only connected to a 
wired Cat5 plug.  If I unplug the AC adapter, it blue screens again.

I can not run my laptop on AC power and Wireless.  As soon as I plug the AC 
adapter in, it blue screens, and if I start it with the AC plug in, the 
wireless is listed as disabled.
When I try to enable it ... it blue screens.

Any ideas??? Not sure if something at the airport security did something to 
my power adapter .. or ... while in another state the hotel didn't have a 3 
pronged outlet, but they gave me an adapter to plug into it to convert the 2 
prong to a 3 prong, and that's where I charged my battery for my laptop. 
Could that have something to do with it?

Also, while on vacation, i was connected to many different wireless 
hotspots, but my AV and Spyware detection programs produce no problems.

Any ideas or solutions appreciated.
