Hi:

Please click on the wireless adapter needing drivers in the device manager.

Then click on the details tab.

Post the top string of characters you see there.

Those will identify the model of the wireless adapter and I can try and find XP drivers for it.

Hi:

From what I could determine, the wireless adapter is a Arcadyan WN4501F 802.11g Wireless USB adapter.

After a ton of searching and dead ends, I think I may have found the drivers.

I have attached them and you need to unzip them using the free trial version of WinZip or some other utility.

Then just update the device from the device manager and browse to the folder with the drivers and hopefully they will work for you.

If you open the .inf file you will see the hardware ID for your network adapter listed.

If the drivers don't work, you will need to purchase another wireless adapter.

Installed Driver and got this message.

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

Hi, Jim:

Sorry the driver didn't work.

I guess you will have to do without, or buy a new wireless adapter.

Cheers,

Paul
