My BIL bought a new PC with Vista. I'm trying to
upload the Vista driver for it provided from Linksys's
site. It's a zip file which opens up with a setup
and .SYS file. I cannot for the life of me get this
driver file to load in Vista.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks for any help or info. Here the page with
the driver file from Linksys.

The new PC has 32 bit Vista installed. Thanks for any
help or advise.

32bit or 64bit Vista? According to the download site,
[url]http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_CASupport_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1175230420666&packedargs=site%3DUS&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=2066646109B01[/url]
The release date of 64bit drivers is yet to be determined.

I have successfully used the v4 driver with my wusb54g (original version) on
32bit Vista Home Premium in the past couple of months while I was working on
my daughter's computer but I have never tried it with any of our Vista x64
computers. I didn't have any problem with installing the v4 download file
on my daughter's computer at all. If I remember correctly you need to
install the software before plugging into the usb port.

by installing the adapter first and then trying to
load the driver. I un-install and try it again. This
time drivers first.

Appreciate the help,
