I keep having problems with my wireless lan adaptor, whether i install the drivers of the disc or let windows do install them it usually only works for a few hours then i get booted off the internet to find that my wireless dongle is now known as 'unknown device'.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled/ rebooted etc probably about 50 times in the last 24 hours to sort this, as somtimes it take multiple attempts to get windows to recognise this.

Is there a fix for this?

Look at the event viewer for error messages.
Start, run, eventvwr.msc press enter.

How to troubleshoot unknown devices that are listed in Device Manager in Windows XP

Sometimes it's helpful to know the Make and Model of the Adaptor, and how it is connect to the computer.
