Belkin wireless install

Hi there, i cant get windows to recognize the adapter. First i downloaded
the software from belkin and installed it. I plugged the adapter, F5D7050
version 3.xx, into a usb 2.0 card i installed in the computer. When i
restarted the computer it said adding hardware and in device manager it
appeared under the USB host controller column. When i click the Belkin
desktop icon it says cant detect adapter, please plug it in. I even tried to
add the .inf file manually in the device manager and it didn't work, it said
doesnt contain info on your hardware. Is there another way to install this
driver? Thanks in advance.

You say you installed into a usb card. Does the card work itself. Do
you have any other USB device to plug in like a thumb drive or a printer
etc.?

yes the card works, i have a card reader hooked up and its working

Make certain you downloaded the proper software version for your adapter
(3.xx?). If so, unplug the adapter and reinstall the software. If
'Modify' is an option during reinstall, give that a go. Plug the adapter
in when the installer asks and reboot. If XP, consider setting under the
'Options' tab, Let Windows Control Networks or something alike.
Hopefully, you're wifi surfing in no time.

I have two laps with same config, brand and VISTA home premium OS. One is
updated with all hotfixes and one is not....
when i try to conenct the net directly from modem it connects with no
problem with two laptops. but when i use to configure benklin 52g router with
easy installation guide the laptop without updates can easily detects the
router and setsup the password and other things, but the other laptop with
all updates and hotfixes says that "no router is detected in any of your
network adaptors". I dont find the problem with router as it connects with
other laptop and also no problem with network adaptor as it connects directly
with modem, then why the router and this laptop are making problems? is it
because of updates and hotfixes i have?
Please do help.
