WNDA4100 error on startup

Running Vista Home on Dell PC.  Using Netgear N900 WiFi Dual Band USB adapter.  Getting following error in startup: 

 

'WNDA4100 Genie MFC Application has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

 

I am connected to the router.  Not sure what the error means, and would like to fix whatever is wrong.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hi bonnier243,

     

    Please uninstall the genie utility of WNDA4100 and check if it has the same error.

      How does one uninstall the Genie function but still maintain the ability to use the USB Wireless Connection.  It seems I have only been able to uninstall the entire software suite thus far

        The genie is just a software you can use to connect to the network. If no genie, you can still use the windows utility to connect.
