How do I do that when the portal to Windows Update (the wireless adaptor)
crashes the system?
Remember, Windows will crash on the desktop, I can't initiate any program in
that condition. When I do initiate a program, the system crashes long before
any useful information can be extracted. And the crash seems to NOT present
any errors that are tracked. It (the system) simply stops responding ...

I would agree, but the windows update was initiated by me in response to the
trouble-set that I am having. And, I'm still having the same trouble set.

Have you tried reinstalling Windows with the wireless adapter in place?
Something else you might try first if you haven't already done it, and
that is reset the BIOS to the factory default settings.
To be really sure you have it back to default take the button battery
out for a few minutes (with the system unplugged of course). I've seen
this trick fix some weird problems.
Good luck and please keep us posted!

Flavor?
I've tried a couple of PS2 mouses (mice?) and a USB-based wireless mouse.
I've also swapped the PS2 keyboard with several more, but I've not tried a
wireless keyboard. I don't recall for certain, but I'm pretty sure I started
with a USB keyboard, but it was a wired unit.
Are those the flavors you were looking for?
I'm going to try a new power supply for $35ish, and see what happens.
