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?

I'm assuming you've tried all the available ports to rule out the fault of one particular port?

the sound they made while bush walking made it seem like I was doing mean things to little furry animals inside my pants :p

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:

yup done all the obvious stuff, uninstall all USB drivers you reckon mcdeath?

then reinstall?

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?
