Dlink DWL 520+ crashes windows Vista

Posted: 10-10-2006, 01:06 AM
I have a Dlink DWL 520+ and every time I try to load the drivers windows
hangs and crashes. I then need to go into save mode and remove it. once
this is done it works great again. this is an old network card and is no
longer supported by dlink. does any one have a suggestion on how to get this
working without spending more money... P.S. this works perfectly with XP and
I might switch back because I can't do anything now...... Help...

Sound interesting, I have the 520+ installed, and installed the driver. but
the wireless client software can't find the card. so it dosn't work. could
you list the driver info from the netcard proporties?

Regards

I went through a lot of issues with the 520+ card. but after forcing an
install of the newest XP drive twice. I managed to get it working, works fine
now. on RC2 btw. Have asked D-Link for help on a Vista driver, but no
response yet.
