Try this: remove the adapter, wait a minute, then replug it. You might
have to do this several times until Vista wakes up and recognizes that a
new device is plugged. Vista has significant problems with its USB port
management (and SP1-RC is no help). Once it is identified, install the
driver at that point, since Vista will probably have failed to realize
the driver has been previously installed.
