Wireless adapter doesn't work!

[jeffkong]

Recently I decided to restore my computer, with my wireless adapter, to the way it was when I first bought it. It has Windows ME on it.

 

after it was restored, my wireless adapter stopped working. The lights on it that usually glow green stopped, and it just doesn't work. It's plugged into the same place it's always been when it worked

 

my Xbox adapter works perfectly

 

what do I do to fix this?

Try Updating The Drivers.

I did, but it didn't work

Changing the drivers won't help if the lights aren't on to begin with , you know...

 

As for jeffkong's actual problem, I have no clue.

all i can say is window me sux, but did u try to use another usb port??

try installing these drivers

this card is USB 2.0 so check that the USB card is also configured correctly, USB 2.0 devices will not work with USB 1.1 ports, however, maybe the drivers or windoes, set your current USB to 1.1, just try installing the drivers first and let me know

I'll try doing this

 

I have a busy week so I probably won't report how it turns out until the weekend.

Nothing works

 

I think the adapter is broken, and will buy another one.

They work fine, but at a reduced speed.
