UNSOLVED
Intel PROSet/Wireless screen lockup
My wireless DLink router has worked fine for more than a year. My Inspiron 600m with WIN XP PRO SP2 still links to multiple routers without difficulty. A recent problem is that when I click on the Systray icon for the Intel PROSet/Wireless program, there is a long pause and then a popup error message says: "Failed to update profile list. Profile database in use. Please wait for Intel PROSet/Wireless to update the profile list."
Eventually the screen opens, but none of the buttons work and the program is locked up. My only option is to use CTRL-ALT-DEL to kill the screen. My wireless Internet access continues to function normally.
This is a new development that has me baffled. I updated to the latest version of Intel PROSet/Wireless from the Dell driver website, but the problem remains.
Can anyone offer any ideas or assistance? Many thanks.

- Thanks for your help. I agree that the profiles database is possibly corrupted. I'm quite willing to delete all my profiles and re-enter just the two that are used. Can you tell me specifically how to do this manually, as the program locks up when I try to use the profiles button?
- I found a solution to this problem, but it was rather unusual....I tried the "repair" option under add/remove programs. That option locked up as well. Then I removed the Intel PROSet/WIreless program entirely (including profiles), not just once, but twice! Only after the second reinstallation did the program return to normal operation. Hope this helps anyone with a similar difficulty.
