Sorry it took me so long. I'm trying to install a Lynksys USB wireless
adaptor. I have a long list of errors and I have no idea what they mean but
I went to application and found "WMI ADAP was unable to load the ASP.NET
performance library because it returned invalid data: 0x0" Does that help?
Bill,
OK, let's start over.
What happens when you insert the Linksys USB wireless adapter, does a
message appear stating that Windows is searching for software for it or,
does the Hardware Wizard pop up ?
What instuctions does Linksys offer for getting the wireless adapter to
install ?
Frankly, since this is [was] a new product I'd suggest you call them and
state they either assist you in getting it installed or you'll bring it
back for a refund.

1st. I put the install disk in and clicked on start. Then a screen came up
and said to put the adaptor in the USB port which I did and as soon as I
plugged it in the popup comes up and says the drivers for NET can't be
loaded. At the same time, the hardware wizard opens and tries to install the
adaptor. Then it tells me the software could not be found. I have tried to
find files on line, off line, in line, out of line , fishing line and
anyplace they might be hiding. All the people at Linksys would say is it is
not compatable with my computer, which is running XP and the box says it's
compatable. Can I run the recovery disk? I have all my files backed up.

I'm unclear as to IF the software needs a .NET Framework or that it is
simply incompatible with XP.
If the folks at Linksys claim it is not, when don't you just return it
and find a compatible USB wireless adapter ?
Does the box show which Version of the .NET Framework is needed ?

The only thing it says on any of the paperwork is that it is XP compitable
with SP 1, which I have. I'm going to try to reinstall SP 1 and see if that
does it. It doesn't say anything about .NET Framework or anything else. A
few years ago I had some company and thier son messed around with the
computer and I think he deleted some files that I haven't needed until now.
Reinstalling the SP 1 is the only thing I can think of. I'll let you know
if it works.
