I'm confused. What does "can't find it" really mean? Is it:
1. Nothing happens when you plug it in?
2. Windoze Plug and Play can't find a suitable driver?
3. Windoze Plug and Play loads a driver, but Wireless Zero Config
can't configure the card?

What's an NB? (Thou shalt not abrev or trunc).

Depending on the answer, the usual problem is that you have to install
the USB drivers *BEFORE* you plug in the USB device. In this case, it
might be best to uninstall the Buffalo drivers (using add/remove
software), download the latest version from the Buffalo web pile,
install the drivers, and then plug in the USB device.

I don't install its driver.
I already reinstall Win XP SP2 in my pc,
But the problem is still the same.
The usb wireless card work well in my two desktop pc before,
But now its only work in my notebook.
And other usb device(mouse,usb disk...)still can work in my desktop pc
now.

Plug in the USB device
Control Panel -> Add and Remove Hardware -> Add/Troubleshoot.
Does it find the Buffalo USB device? Is it listed?

It will not work if you do not install the driver. The Buffalo driver
is not part of Windoze XP SP2.

Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager
Is the Buffalo device listed with a big red or yellow mark indicating
that it's not working? If so:
double click on it -> Driver -> Reinstall or uninstall driver

>I already reinstall Win XP SP2 in my pc,

Installing hardware does not usually require reinstalling the entire
operating system. You have effectively started over and should
probably install all the Windoze updates before proceeding.
