Vista Wireless Card Problem

riddik

I acquired a D-Link DWL G510 for my Vista machine. I installed the drivers, turned it off, installed the card, turned the pc back on, and got the following message;

"WZCSLDR2.exe - Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point apsInitialise could not be located in
the dynamic link library wlanapi.dll"

When I tried installing it through Add Hardware, it gave the following;

"An error occured during the installation of the device.

A service installation section in this INF is invalid."

Could someone please help me resolve this, google just gave me a bunch of people asking the same question and telling me to update drivers and simialr rubbish.

Please help

Well hate to sound like a broken record but did you download the Vista drivers from their site or use the ones that came with it, most likely XP drivers.

Vista can use XP drivers so they would have installed but may not function correctly.

On D-Link's site only the revision B of that card actually has Vista specific drivers available for it. If you have the A version try getting the XP drivers from the site and using those instead.

yeah i tried downloading vista drivers but all i could get was two .inf files accompanied by 2 .sys files. wen i try to install them, it says

"The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation"

I've tried selecting the location of the saved files and it doesnt recognize them as driver files. Unless anyone knows how I can do this?

And you definitely have the revision B of that card ?

Just in case go into the device manager and bring up the properties of the network card it may be listed as an unknown device and attempt to install the driver though that mechanism, tell it to search for a driver and point it at the folder with the .inf and sys files in it.

One last item have you looked on Windows Update in the control panel drivers are not installed by default as they are an optional item if one is there it would show up in the optional section.
