I'm not sure I should even be here! I'm not really techy at all. But I just bought an Asus USB-N10 Nano & can't get it to work with Windows Vista on my old desktop. I feel like I've checked all the settings I can, uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted everything, changed the adapter into different USB ports... I'm not even sure where I should be looking to find the problems.

I've got an error message "The network adapter is experiencing driver or hardware related issues".

When I look at the computer network where it shows all the devices/files, it shows only the DVD drive (should it show the adapter too because it's plugged into the USB port?)

ANY clues would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers.
