Re: Help--XP won't recognize drivers
I just downloaded the drivers from the Linksys website.. obviously, I can do
nothing with them as I do not have a Linksys adapter, but I was interested
to see what would happen..
Having downloaded the file, I ran it.. a folder called Linksys Drivers was
set up on the root directory of C
C:/Linksys Drivers..
What I would suggest is that you do this, and then when asked, point to the
folder.. if the driver is still not found, keep trying each subfolder until
you have to point it directly at the 'PRISMUSB' file in the subfolder
'WINXP'..
if you get no resolution, your best bet is to contact Linksys directly..
