Wireless Card Driver Help

I've got a Edimax EW-7128g wireless PCI card that I just installed. The drivers on the CD were for XP and I'm running Vista, but no big deal, I'll just download the Vista drivers and I'll be good. But no, they don't appear to work either. Vista says they're not digitally signed, and I can't get it to work. The configuration utility shows up in the tool bar with a line through it and won't open. Any idea on what to do? Thanks.
 
Not Digitally signed usually means that the manufacturer did not want to wait with the releasse of the drivers for Microsoft test and approval, thus in most cases it does not mean any thing good or bad.

I run many of theses cards on Vista 32, and 64. They all work well, and are very good.

Read this may ne it will help.

My guess is that you have noth WZC and the Vendor utility on.

I have the exact same card with the exact same problem. I tried the links that you showed, but I don't have wzc listed. My vendor utility is on but it's not digitally signed so worse than useless atm. I'm not that familiar with regedit but feel that this is my only choice to enable wzc at this point. the instructions from ezlan are as follows:


No Windows Zero Configuration Service at all.

Use Windows regedit, drill down.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WZCSVC

Add a DWORD entry named "Start" and value "2".


Note, if you are Not familiar with regedit do not try to use it without knowledgeable support.





what is a DWORD entry?



ok, I don't even have WZCSVC listed when I drill down using regedit. I also cannot find wzcsvc at all using the search function. What am I doing wrong?
 
ok, jack gave me directions for enabling wzc in vista. unfortunately, with vista 64 and the unsigned driver I still can't get this thing to work. I'm getting an error code 39 from vista, which states that the driver is installed correctly but there's an error...I'm assuming that error code 39 is that it's not whql certified b/c the driver is clearly signed. grrrrrrr
 
finally got it to work! I found a gigabyte 64 bit vista driver that the computer seemed to like ok...go figure... thanks for the help jack!
