How to get Win Me to recognize D-Link PCI Adapter DWL-G510??

I have a Windows Me system and I want to install a D-Link Wireless PCI
adapter (DWL-G510) to be able to use internet connection in my home (my
other Win XP system has the cable modem and router already installed and
working).

Trouble is that after I installed the PCI card and D-Link drivers I did not
get the 'New Hardware Found' dialog (which I imagine I would not necessarily
get in Win Me anyway). I went into CP and Add New Hardware but searching
did not find the PCI card and manually trying to add it does not work
because the D-Link manufacturer does not list this PCI card as an available
item (not surprising as this card came out only a year ago at best).

How can I get Win Me to recognized this D-Link PCI card?

Thanks
Walter

Walter,

Check Device Manager: is it installed?

If not, try a different PCI slot.

No, it doesn't show as installed.
I pulled an old modem out of the slot and plugged in the D-Link adapter. I
will try another slot.

Thanks,
Walter

May very well be a problem with D-Link. Good luck in trying to get
them to honour a warranty issue, they wouldn't for me even though I
was within the warranty period.

Hmm....
I tried all 4 of my PCI slots (even the one with a working sound card) and
not one of them gets to be recognized by WinMe at bootup.
I even went so far as to think the adapter was bad so I exchanged it for
another new one with the same results.

I did have a LinkSys wireless USB adapter working on the machine previously
if that would make any difference???

Thanks,
Walter
