USB Adapter Installation Problems
If your computer cannot find the EZ Connect Wireless USB Adapter or

SMC2664W wireless adapter that is known to operate correctly.
•
Make sure your computer is using the latest BIOS.

test the wireless adapter separately.
•
Check for a defective computer or USB port by trying the adapter in
another computer that is known to operate correctly.

c:\windows\system (in Windows 98/Me)
c:\winnt\system32\drivers (in Windows 2000)
