Remove the hardware and software installed with both

Reboot, does the computer still hang?

Reinstall one at a time and see which one is causing the problem

We need more info, Make and model of Burner and Wireless card
Make and model of computer

What operating system are you running?

Just for the heck of it
Can you post a hijackthis log
and the make and model of computer

It may or may not show something
From my signature below, download and save too a permanent folder of it's own onto your harddrive
Hijackthis 1.99.1
Open Hijackthis.exe

Do a "SCAN and Save a Log file"
A log will open in Notepad
Copy and paste the WHOLE contents of the log  here... Don't try and fix anything yet----It is all important

If hijackthis doesn't show anything, you can just uninstall it and delete the .exe
