Jack, does the manufacturer of the device have a website? I would look
there.

Hi,
i have win xp pro sp2 (an old pc) with just 2 ports of usb 1.1
(motherboard
ports) and i'm using Santana(or whatever) 802.11g usb wireless adapter it
just worked so fine and driver's installation was so smooth but i'm sick
of
waiting 20 years so i could download something or copying files from/to
usb
flash drives so i bought a VIA 5 ports usb2 pci card, the printer worked
with
just one click and the read/write speed of flash drives is superb but when
i
connected the adapter to the card the widows tried to install the driver
and
after a "successful" installation it didn't work! (normal behavior you
need
to install the driver like 360 times so that the windows really recognize
it)
so i uninstalled the old driver and inserted the cd and installed it again
and again but didn't work out. i opened the device manager and wallah! the
device is called "Unkown Device" and it's under usb ( when it was
connected
to usb1.1 it was under network adapters with the name "802.11g usb 2.0
adapter"). i've tried everything even unrelated solution (like kicking the
hell out of the pc - by the way DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME) i removed it from
the
device manager but keeps "installing" it under unknown device, tried
installing the driver manually with the "update driver" and "add new
hardware" with a specified path to the cd but it keeps saying that there
is
no matched drivers so i plugged it to usb1.1 and it worked, i returned it
to
usb2 and it didn't, tried other ports, the same, and when i open the
proprieties of the "unknown device" the device id was
"USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\..." it not realistic so compared with the id when
it
is connected to usb1.1 the id was "USB\VID_1435&PID_0427\..." makes sense
i
looked in the inf file of the driver's installation and it was as said
when
plugged in usb 1.1, so i'm stuck and the only way out was to change the
inf
device id to 0000 i tried but still "no match" (maybe i did it wrong i'm
not
expert at inf files), searched the internet but no relevant
articles/forums
so here i am, rock you like a hurricane (by the way i was kidding about
the
part were i kicked the pc but really DON"T TRY THIS AT HOME) i'll
appreciate
any suggestion thnx!
