Oops, bet not.but why think XP has PnP now, it dont ! MS shut that down 3 years ago.... this is not w7 , here.
how FAR are you from the router, I cant see you ? 10ft, 100f 1 mile>? like me we have brick walls.. got those?
so how is your router set up, can be lots of ways.
do other PCs or CELL connect easY,, Y/N.
is it ad-hoc, or wep/wpa.wpa2 set up?
if yes others are good if ?then router needs to be setup
if yes, the pC needs to be in range
and the wep /wpa2 pass word known/
do you have that setup in the router. all that,
i bet you see the SSID name, there, in windows. XP
it does connect right? just bandwidth is low?
my guess is reload all HP drivers for
W200 (from year 2002?)
DRIVERS 101: XP is dead. you do know that right>?
hp does not support this,
nor does MS now with XP , XP is dead now as its its plug and play
so the issues is finding clean, xp driver for this, 15year old USB device. not that is a tall order..
w200 with Agere chipset !
omg it only did WEP back then, id put it in the trash.
and buy a real USB wpa2 wifi dongle for $10
and forget all this. old junk, its trash.
look and cry

so in your router TURN on WEP
there is no other way possible.
on my fancy D-link 655
you can not do wep and wpa or 2 at the same time.
you must pick one.
then you pick wep and all alse in home goes dead.
wep btw was hacked, so is not wise to use WEP at all.
up grade it.
finding driver with this wild history GOOD LUCK

Had same issue. Using device manager uninstall the wi fi chip and reboot. When computer restarts you will then be told that there are networks available - select your network, enter your password and it should work!!
SOURCE: multiport w200 wireless goes to blue_screen with belkin G+ router
http://www.fixya.com/support/t612983-blue_screen_hp_wlan_multiport_w200 seems to have the solution.
It says:
Rollback the W200 driver to version 1.00C. Subsequent drivers are incompatible with XP SP2.
Unfortunately, WPA support came in version 1.00E, so W200 + XpSp2 = no WPA support. :(
I removed my wirelss drivers and compaq wireless client software, then installed the older driver from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=hb-13082-1&lc=en&cc=fr&dlc=en&os=228&product=235687&lang=en which is sp23031. This seems to have worked.

dear sir good day this problem used to appear when a bad driver is installed or a damaged windows in near so reinstall your system as Microsoft says in this article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc957609.aspx thank you
