Wifi USB Thing not working

Recommended Posts

I re-built my computer today, and everything is working as normal

Except the Wifi.

I bought a D-Link Wireless G USB Wifi Adapter (http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=477) and when I install the drivers, they install as normal

Except when I get to the part of actually installing the drivers of the little USB thing itself

A Windows error message comes up saying "D-Link Wireless G USB Not Connected, Please connect now"

Even when it is connected, it still says that. I don't know what to do, because everything I've tried doesn't work.

Please help..

 

EDIT:

If you have a better suggestion of what I could get, please post. But nothing thats ridiculously priced.

That's part of your problem. With Windows 7 Microsoft put in a new verification system that makes it almost impossible to get internet without a valid copy. Go get legit lol.

 

Well, laptop has Win7, so is there anyway I could transfer that copy (its legit) into my new comp?

 

EDIT:

I found out that the update thing that found out if you had a pirate copy is unchecked for me...

Enju, each CD key should only let you use it on 1 computer. I haven't tried multiple though since i've got multiple keys lol.

A pirated copy wouldn't matter. And nothing is in your BIOS from having a "pirated copy".

 

1. Take the USB out then replug it, do you get a "Looking for new drivers" type message at the bottom right?

2. Are you installing the correct x86 OR x64 drivers?

3. Try a different USB port.

 

If this all fails, it's a D.O.A. (Dead on Arrival). Buy another one locally and if it works, get a refund for your current one or get credit.

No, it works, it just won't pick up wifi.

I didn't get that message, and theres no way to pick different drivers..

I did try a different port
