I had exactly the same problem, took the laptop and card into the shop where I
bought the card, and spent some time trying different cards and different
procedures with the same result. The cards were by Belkin, Linksys, and USR,
and every attempt at installing any of them led to an endless repetition of
that wretched message about failure to find the file specified, (although
actually it wasn't specified otherwise I could have looked for it myself).
Although they offered me a refund, I decided to keep the USR one on the
assumption that it must be a software problem which I would eventually solve.
The laptop was a Gateway Solo, running Windows 2000.
Later, having bought a new laptop with wireless built in (a bargain in a
Boxing Day sale), I decided I had nothing to lose by experimenting with the
old one, so I reformatted and installed XP - and the wireless card installed
and worked perfectly! Same computer, same wireless card, different operating
system. Since then I've fitted another USR card of the same type to another
(different model) Gateway laptop running XP, also with no problems.
That's all the experimentation I have the time to do for now because I have a
working system, but it suggests to me it is some kind of software problem with
Windows 2000.
