Tried to install a new (NOS) wn111v2 on our plain vanilla Win7 64 bit HPz8000 system., Won't complete the install. Downloaded newest software from NG site but when partially installed, it won't recognize the adapter.
tried it on 2nd computer (32 bit this time) - same non-functional. Installs but the opening data input screen comes up for a second or so and disappears.
We have deleted the online Netgear software (3.1 or 3.2?) as well as the MS redistribute file. We then plugged in the Netgear adapter. It flashes blue (and continues to do so as long as it is plugged in) and an "Unknown Device" shows up in the "Other Devices" list in device manager. It has an exclamation point on it. If we open it and look for a driver online it says there is no driver for the device.
I did this on the 32-bit machine a few minutes ago, and I believe the same situation exists on our 64-bit workstation. Both machines are running Win7 and the OS it is completely (and regularly) updated.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts. This so far remains a dissapointment.
When doing manual update of the driver, can you select the other option instead of searching online? Also please try to disable antivirus or firewall when installing the adapter.
