Did you guys end up trying what Joshua Garcia3 suggested in his post? Just as a precaution—maybe scan the machines for malware, especially since you're seeing the same symptoms on multiple devices. I'm guessing they're all on the same network?
If you had just put that info into Google, you would have seen that this generic wireless card is actually based on a TP-Link model—in your case, a TP-Link 150 Mbps wireless n adapter. They list their specific wireless card models on their site here: http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/?categoryid=243
You can basically work your way through their different models until you find one that matches yours—since it’s a generic brand, it might take a second—but I'd suggest checking these first: http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/d...odel=TL-WN721N http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/d...odel=TL-WN727N The drivers should be right there in the Download section.
Generally speaking, you can track down drivers using the Hardware ID. To find it, just head over to the Device Manager, right-click on the device, go to Properties, then hit the Details tab—from there, pick Hardware ID from the dropdown menu. You'll end up seeing something like PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168/SUBSYS... blah blah...
That mistake in the first screenshot seems to be a registry issue—there are plenty of guides out there on how to fix that—but before diving into that, you really ought to check the health of your drive using some tools from a bootable disc. Something like Ultimate Boot CD would work. If you go that route, you can find those types of utilities under HDD -> Disk Diagnosis, and then just pick one depending on what brand of hard drive you have.
Have you tried plugging a different keyboard and/or mouse into those specific ports? Did you get a chance to test the problematic gear on another computer?
What brands are we talking about for the keyboard and mouse that are acting up?
Basically, the issue lies within the S.M.A.R.T. diagnostics built directly into the drive itself. It’s possible the readings are misleading—I've seen cases where S.M.A.R.T. reported everything was fine right before a drive died, and I once had a similar situation where a drive stayed functional for another two years despite the warnings.
Have you ever messed around with any of those specialized tools meant for completely wiping out program installations—maybe something like Revo Uninstaller?
You could try installing the printer on machines running Windows XP as if it were a local device—say, via the LPT1 port—and then later switching the port over to a network destination. That way, the new port would look like a network path, something like \\computername\printername. I guess that might work.

Anyway, how much have most users actually donated to the favorite forum for Americans? 🤣
Reddit is a private site—it’s a private entity, so we don't really get to see their financials, nor should we necessarily need to. As far as I know, there isn't even a way to donate money directly to support the platform.
Would people even donate money to a forum? Maybe a long time ago, sure, but given the state of things today... I doubt it.
The outdated, poorly optimized version of this forum software—combined with hardware that’s basically running on nothing but good vibes and pure willpower from all of us
What are the CPU and memory usage levels right at the moment things start lagging? Maybe try reinstalling the Adobe Flash Player for whichever browser you're using.
Grab a tool to check those "Blue Screen of Death" dump files—maybe something like http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html—and then just post a screenshot of whatever errors keep popping up.
I’d say just steer clear of used HDDs—it only takes a little bit of physical rough handling, which won't show up on any software scan, to leave the drive completely trashed.
I'm basing this on two used HDDs I picked up recently that both died on me within a week.
