Wireless USB adapter driver for Win Vista 64?

try installing the 64 bit XP driver in XP SP2 compatibility mode.

Can you please give me some pointers on how to do this?

 

Thanks!

Here's a link to the MS site that explains it.

Thanks for the info!  Unfortunately that didn't work.  Has anyone found a work around to get the Dell 1450 USB Wireless adapter to work on Vista (I'm using the 64 bit version)?

 

THANKS!

Are we thinking this is because this is the 64 bit version?

You used the Compatibility Wizard and selected "I want to use the program in the CD-ROM drive" option? 

Hmmmm, thats how I got it to work on my 32 bit version.

Sorry, no more ideas.

No, I unzipped the file and let it install to C:dell/drivers, the opened then compatibility wizard, and selected "I want to locate the program manually", and ran it in XP SP2 compatibility. it is possible that it's because it is 64 bit mode, I used it in 32 bit. I installed the 64 bit version for a few days, but wound up formatting, and installing the 32 bit version, it just worked better for me. None of my programs are optimized for 64 bit, my printers and scanners did work, but my main program is photoshop, and it is not written for 64 bit operation.
