HELP PLEASE! WUSB100 ver. 2 and WUSB54GC ver. 3 and Windows 7 64-bit

So I have both of these adapters and can't get either one to work with Windows 7 64-bit installation. The WUSB100 shows on the compatibility list as being compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7. The WUSB54GC ver. 3 shows being compatibile with Windows 7 32-bit only.
In both cases I get an Error 211 and have uninstalled and restarted the computer more than 6 times with the same result. In both cases the Device Manager shows the device as being instaled and working properly. However, I never get a wireless adapter to show up in network connections and it never shows wireless connections available.
Any suggestions on what else I can try before I tell all my customers to stay away from Cisco/Linksys products when it comes to Windows 7?
Thank you,
Craig

I was able to download the latest drivers from Mediatek who apparently took over Ralink. The latest drivers for the WUSB100 ver. 2 from here:
http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads/
Select the first one:
USB (RT2870/ RT2770/ RT307X/ RT2070 RT357X/ RT3370/ RT8070/ RT5X7X/ MT7610/ MT7601/MT7612U)
The WUSB100 uses the RT2870 chip and this install package updated the existing installation without having to unplug the device or restart the computer. It is now working fine.
I was put on the right path by reading some of the previous posts from years ago that suggested going to Ralink tech which no longer is available, but I was able to figure it out.
Linksys should remove the drivers that are "supposedly" compatible because in fact they are not and do not work. They might want to consider getting the above driver and list it for their customers to save some people the aggravation.

  • Need some help please, itunes 7.1 and Windows Vista

    Hello,
    I've got a bit of a problem here with itunes and my ipod nano.
    Basically I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit and when I connect my ipod to my PC the found new hardware wizard pops up but can never find the ipod nano.
    In disk management the ipod is showing up but in itunes its not.
    Could anyone advise on this please?

    A little update about this issue and it's good news. I've managed to get the ipod show up in disk management with the ipods name and when I open itunes and plug the ipod in, it pops up in itunes.
    Heres it is just like it should be, a result!
    http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/1293/untitled1ln0.jpg
    Basically what I did to fix this issue in Windows Vista was the following
    1.Click Start type run in the search bar and then msconfig.
    2.Click on the Services tab and "hide all Microsoft Services".
    3.Click Disable All for all the non Microsoft services that are showing.
    4.Click OK
    5.Click Restart.
    6.When your desk top loads up click OK for the msconfig menu which pops up.
    7.Open itunes and connect your ipod.
    It should now show it does for me.
    Now follow step 1 again and load all services as your pc would start normally again and reboot, again your ipod should show up now as it should.
    I hope that's useful if anyone else experiences the same.

  • Missing *.inf driver for 2605dtn and windows 7 64 bit

    missing *.inf driver for 2605dtn and windows 7 64 bit
    I just piurchased a new HP laptop with windows 7 64 bit installed.  I do not have any windows 7 disks.
    Where do I obtain the necessary drivers for this printer?

    HI RandyJohnson,
    You do not need to download drivers for this product. Print drivers for your product are available within the Windows 7 operating system. Use Devices and Printers, formerly known as the Add Printer Wizard, to obtain the Windows 7 update. For more information,  go to Install the Printer Driver through the Windows 7 Operating System (c02536257) (in English).

    iTunes 11.0.1.12 and Windows 7 (32 bit, latest version). iTunes crashes frequently (Windows message : "iTunes has stopped working and will be closed"). I may be trying to search for an App. or book (or anything else), trying to access iTunes store, checking for updates to Apps., inputting my password, etc. etc. I have uninstalled iTunes several times, reinstalled several times, but the error persists. I tried the iTunes 10 suggested fix of running in safe mode, but iTunes again crashed when I was trying to create a new ID.

  • Wheel Mousr fix and Windows 7 64 bit

    I am using Visual Basic 6 and Window 7 64 bit for my OS. I have the wheel mouse fix for XP, and it also works in Windows 7 32 bit, like the fix did for XP. The Wheel Mouse Fix works fine in Windows 7 32 bit, but doesn't using Windows 7 64 bit. It will
    move sometimes, but not like in a 32 bit OS. How can I get the Wheel mouse fix to work using Windows 7 64 bit??? Is there some way to make it call the Program Files(x86) folder???
    The command line for registering the DLL is:
    Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 C:\VBMouse\VB6IDEMouseWheelAddin.dll, and then click OK.
    Like I said it works fine for 32 bit, but not using 64 bit. Anyone out there have any ideas.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I'm very pleased to say that I've just this minute figured this one out.
    I'm assuming you've grabbed the download from here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837910
    The solution is here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282747
    What I suggest you do is:
    1. Put VB6IDEMouseWheelAddin.dll somewhere where it can live forever more - I went for C:\Windows
    2. Open a command prompt (I opened mine as Admin, not sure if it's necessary but why not eh?)
    3. cd \windows\syswow64
    4. regsvr32 c:\Windows\VB6IDEMouseWheelAddin.dll
    Then open VB6 as usual, under the Add-Ins menu click on Add-In Manager and you should see MouseWheel Fix at the very top. Just tick the Load Behavior boxes as you wish and that's it.
    Cheers,
    Nick

  • Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine, tried solutions from other threads with no luck, just thought i'd see if anyone else had any ideas, thanks.

    Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine so the problem seems confined to Windows 7. I've tried solutions from other threads -
    Making sure everything is allowed through firewall
    Rebooting phone/laptop/router
    Disabling ipv6
    Disabling all networks except the one curently on
    Re-installing iTunes
    Restoring iPhone
    No luck with any of those unfortunately so i just thought i'd see if anyone else is still without wifi sync after trying those as well and if you ever found a fix, thanks.

    I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

  • Screen print imac with bootcamp and windows 7 64 bit

    I have a new 27" Imac i7. I have boot camp installed and windows 7 64 bit. I have auto-cad installed for college. There are several assignments that require a screen print to turn in. I have not been able to figure this out. I have been using the snipping tool, but in certain instances i need a menu drop down included in the screen print. With the snipping tool the menu goes away. I have looked for some ways to do a screen print while in windows, and have been unsuccessful. I have a wireless apple keyboard, the shorter one. The F keys are enabled to be used as the real F keys without using the fn key on the windows side. So when i hit F10 for example it is the real F10 function. Does anyone have any ideas?

    I can get those keys to work if i make the keyboard use the shortcut keys that are listed on the top. For example, if i want to use the f10-f12 keys to control the volume without having to hit the fn key. If i set the keyboard up that way that key combo will work. But if i set up the keyboard to use the f keys really be f keys without hitting the fn key, it will not work. Would you know how to get it like that? I have tried just leaving the fn key out of that combo and it will not work.

    I have found another possible bug affecting network printing with 10.1.2 in Protected Mode on XP SP3 machines that has not been previously documented:
    A number of users in one office were not able to print with 10.1.2 in Protected Mode (even with the printing hotfix/patch previously released) to their default printer; however they were able to print fine with 10.0.1 in Protected Mode OR by disabling Protected Mode in 10.1.2.  They could print to Microsoft XPS Document Writer, however.
    The cause was determined to be an issue with capitilization of the printer name in the registry!  10.1.2 in Protected Mode seems to be sensitive to this for some strange reason, though other apps don't care.
    Check the following keys and ensure the capitalization of any references to name of your printer (or UNC path of the printer share) is consistent:
    HKCU\Printers\Connections
    HKCU\Printers\Settings
    HKCU\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\windows\Device
    In our case, the reference to the name of the default printer was in lowercase, while the printer path recorded under settings was in UPPERCASE.   Changing this to match immediately fixed the problem.

  • Little help please regarding deleting files and folders...

    My wife has a MBP and has accumulated some old items in her documents folder that she'd like to delete. She has a USB mouse but the "right click" doesn't appear to work. She's running 10.4.11 and can't reveal the files in icon mode to facilitate dragging to trash. Certainly there is a sequence of keystroke commands that will allow these files to be effectively trashed, but our "control/delete", or "apple/delete", or "option/delete" doesn't do the trick after highlighting the subject file. Help please! TIA!

    To delete a file or folder, high light it then using the keyboard type Command Delete and that will delete it. If you have multiple files and/or folders the same keyboard commands apply.

  • Help please - Updating .jar file and can't compile decompiled .java files.

    Ok, so there is a game on the internet called 'runescape', its a java applet that runs in the web browser from a cache in the windows directory.
    Basically im trying to edit this client so that i can run it away from their website (for use on a private server).
    The problem i am getting is that when i decompile the class files from the .jar into the .java files i can't recompile the .java files.
    E.G. I decompiled one of the .class files and tried to re-compile it agian straight away which brought me errors, i did this to rule out my editing as the problem.
    The jar file can be found [here.|http://world80.runescape.com/loader_gl397188536.jar] but the link will no double be dead after a few weeks.
    Can somebody please take a look and help me? I'm fairly new to java programming so if you could keep your answers as simple as possible that would be great, thanks.
    Ps. If this is the wrong section im sorry, i couldn't find the right section and this section seemed closest for me.

    i'm compiling using the javac command in a batch file, its displaying 100 errors but there are more, it seems to be showing that the syntax is incorrect as it is labeling brackets as being in the incorrect places.
    Decompiling error?
    As for being allowed to do this, im not so sure the company would approve but im only doing this for learning purposes and will not be releasing any of it upon the internet.

  • Need help urgently with OS X and Windows 7

    I need help urgently.
    I installed Windows 7 on my macbook pro with OS X Lion. After installing Windows7, I accidently converted the basic volumes to dynamic volumes and now i can't even boot to OS X.
    Please help me how to recover my OS X Lion. If I have to delete Windows and bootcamp partitions, it is OK.
    I just want to get back my OS X bootable.

    I could see OS X and Windows partitions if I hold down Option key before changing the partitions to Dynamic partitions from Basic in Windows 7.
    Now can't see OS X partiton and only see Winodws partition but when I tried to boot onto Windows7 , I got BSOD and macbook pro restart.
    Please help
    The usual reason for the OSX partition to be invisible under these circumstances is that it has been trashed by Windows.
