I have installed a USB 2.0 pci card in my desktop but cannot get it to run as 2.0. Each time I turn my computer on it comes up with a message about unknown hardware. I tried installing the driver from the CD but when i reboot my computer I still get the same message. I thought this was because my pci card wasnt compatible with vista so i bought a new card which is, however I think the drivers are only for 32. When I try to run the install an error message comes up sayin the OS is not supported.
I can use the pci card and run usb devices, but only at 1.1 speeds.
Are there any drivers for 64 version that I can use?
Please help, this issue has been bugging me for far too long

Not sure if this is what you want but...

Computer Model: ALiveNF4G-DVI
OS Name: Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Premium
OS Version: 6.0.6001
System Type: x64-based PC
Total Physical Memory: 2047 MB
Windows Directory: C:\Windows
BIOS Version: Default System BIOS
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS
Resolution: 1280 x 1024 x 4294967296 colors

the current pci card is made by Pluscom, model is VT6212L.
I've tried downloading the drivers but I get the same error saying 'this package does not contain the driver for this OS'

No matter where I look I cannot seem to find a driver that will actually allow me to install it.

Is this just another of the wonderful compatibility problems I keep coming across that are 64 specific and there is nothing I can do about it?

Hi matttkd,

It sounds like the card is not compatible with a 64-bit OS. If you can not find any compatible drivers you'll need to replace the card.

Also, have you been to the Pluscom Forum?

Sorry

I have searched the forum there, but nobody else has had the same problem.
I have tried registering myself and masking a new thread, however each time I try to get them to send me the activation email an error comes up, so I cannot activate an account to post a message.
Rubbish

when you install the card does it appear in device manager and if so is there a yellow mark next to it

also try running the setup exe as administrator

Yeah, it appears in device manager as 'unknown device'.
There is nothing under the USB tab about 2.0 and when I remove the card the unknown device is no longer there.
The card itself does work, but Im fairly certain its not working at 2.0 speed. In theory vista should already have the drivers installed, but I just cannot get it to recognise the device.

have you tried running the exe as administrator

sounds like it must be a fairly old card in which case time for a new one that is 64 bit compatible

yeah I have tried as administrator. Unfortunately that doesn't work either. I think I am just going to have to face up to the fact that it isn't going to work no matter what I do.
