Brian,
To Remove the Hotfix
1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
2. Click Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q815485.
3. Click Remove. You might see a message that programs won't work if the update is removed. Ignore it, and click Yes to remove the update.
4. Restart your computer.
If you can't find the file using the above procedure, use the Search function.
Click on START, then SEARCH, then For Files/Folders, then Files and Folders. Enter the filename and click Search. The resulting window will show you where the files are, and you can remove the files accordingly (Right-Click on filename and then click DELETE, then Yes).
You also have to reinstall the Netgear Device Driver, which can be downloaded from the Netgear website.

Install as instructed.
Then Reboot your laptop.
