Suppossed wireless NIC installation failure

Zude · 06-07-2005, 05:29 PM

My new linksys wireless network card will not allow me to assign a drvier to it.(currently running Windows XP on a compaq computer) It says that due to an installation problem that it cannot assign the driver. However, it detects that it is a linksys wireless card and its classification. I am currently setting up another computer with the same wireless card. So, I tried the problematic card in the computer I knew it to work on. And it worked no problem at all. I also tried plugging another device into the same PCI port and that device worked fine. I was wondering if it might be a Windows XP operating system problem and if so is it possible to get around.

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT,
Zude

I'm not sure what's going on, does Linksys have anything to say on the topic?

Are you running service pack 2 on this system? It fixes a lot of wireless problems in xp.
