Linksys WUSB54G v.4 and Vista
My BIL bought a new PC with Vista. I'm trying to
upload the Vista driver for it provided from Linksys's site. It's a zip file which opens up with a setup and .SYS file. I cannot for the life of me get this driver file to load in Vista. What am I doing wrong ? Thanks for any help or info. Here the page with the driver file from Linksys. http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satel...#versiondetail The new PC has 32 bit Vista installed. Thanks for any help or advise. n2gc |

Linksys WUSB54G v.4 and Vista
32bit or 64bit Vista? According to the download site,
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satel...066646109B 01 The release date of 64bit drivers is yet to be determined. I have successfully used the v4 driver with my wusb54g (original version) on 32bit Vista Home Premium in the past couple of months while I was working on my daughter's computer but I have never tried it with any of our Vista x64 computers. I didn't have any problem with installing the v4 download file on my daughter's computer at all. If I remember correctly you need to install the software before plugging into the usb port.

He said 32 bit. You should be able to unzip the files into a directory. Then open Device Manager and select the device and Reinstall Driver. Point to the directory and it should install the drivers and work fine. If not, try plugging it into a different USB port and it should try reinstalling the driver again. -- PC509 Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com |

I must of messed up by installing the adapter first and then trying to load the driver. I un-install and try it again. This time drivers first. Appreciate the help, n2gc |
