How long ago did you install the Dlink driver? Try to remember the
date. Assuming you're using Windoze XP, use the System Restore
feature to put your machine back to where it was before you installed
the DLink driver.
Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore
After the machine is back to normal, you'll need to reinstall the USB
drivers.

Incidentally, you should always create a restore point before
installing ANY hardware. Suprises happen.
