Posted June 24, 200915 yr my friend has old laptop, broke wireless usb stick, the new one they gave her doesn't work on the laptop but does work on her brothers PC could this be a USB 2 issue? as far as i know all the drivers are installed properly computer doesn't even know anything has been plugged in, any ideas?
June 24, 200915 yr I'm assuming you've tried all the available ports to rule out the fault of one particular port? http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/merc.bmp On the topic of shiny auscam... the sound they made while bush walking made it seem like I was doing mean things to little furry animals inside my pants
June 24, 200915 yr have you installed the drivers first? some old bits of gear are finiky like that. also could try uninstalling the USB drivers on the computer, friends who've had a similar issue have done that and after they've reinstalled the drivers its worked . . . then again, one did a scan disk + defrag and 'faulty' usb key worked after that /o: Edited June 24, 200915 yr by Heat-seeker There comes a time in every musician's life when they must decide what instrument they should master.

June 25, 200915 yr Author yup done all the obvious stuff, uninstall all USB drivers you reckon mcdeath? then reinstall?
June 25, 200915 yr yeah thats what some friends have done, uninstalled the USB drivers themselves (not to be confused with the device drivers of the device they are trying to use), then reboot, reinstall the USB drivers again then reboot. Some reason it seems to work. what laptop is it and what wireless dongle? There comes a time in every musician's life when they must decide what instrument they should master. Few.

June 25, 200915 yr Author she has no idea, i'm going to go round there tomorrow and have a look and i'll update with details then if trying uninstall reinstall doesn't work cheers mcdeath
