    Wireless USB Network Adapter with Vista

    I can't seem to find any drivers for my Microsoft MN-510 wireless network
    adapter. I would assume since it is a Microsoft product they would support
    it for Vista. Thanks for the help.

    Not necessarily, some device Drivers, whether its from Microsoft or third
    party's can require updated drivers, especially for Vista.

    How did you install the old drivers? I have the driver cd and I tell Vista
    to look at it and it doesn't seem to work. I've tried installing several
    different .exes from the net as well. Thanks

    Did you try updating it through Device Manager?

    Yes. That is how I manually told it where to look. For some reason the
    default plug 'n play doesn't allow me to instruct it where to look (even
    though it claims it is asking me).
