D-Link Driver install problem "adapter not found"

Hello,

I am new at the forums and I have a problem, I bought a linksys wireless adapter thinking it would work for my new vista computer 64 bit. Had problems with it connecting to internet, called support, told me to reinstall it, first time somehow I was able to install it, second time when trying to reinstall it wouldnt install! So i returned it to the store. Bought a D-Link Xtreme N Desktop Adapter. Tried installing driver, could not install it, when setup is complete it says "Couldn't find adapter, please insert adapter now" Called D-link support , told me to try it on my other xp computer, seemed to work perfectly there, but again I need it for my vista computer. Any ideas how to fix this problem? I need my internet to work.

Model No: DWA-552
H/W VER:A1
F/W VER: 1.10

If you need anymore information from me to find the answer, please let me know, thank you.
