You asked for clarification as to what operating system my query was for. It is XP service pack 3. Not sure if you have seen the posting I made re this.
I'm working on another thread with the same product. Make sure you unistall all zoom software from your computer. Restart your computer. Plug the wireless adaptor in and let it find the drivers you need. It may need the CD that came with the adaptor but don't install any thing from the CD but the drivers.
Use the WEP id and password system from Windows networking.

Check to see if you've got the latest service pack for XP Home installed. You should be on service pack 3. Download and install from the Microsoft website. This may sort out your problem. Regards, nicam49
I can't understand how your computer even works with only 64Megs. of RAM.
Look at the system requirements on the wireless. It will tell you the min. required memory for your device.
Hope this has helped you.

Probably has corrupt driver.
Try disconnecting the Camera from the USB port and reinstall
the software program. When the program asks you to connect the
camera to the USB port, do so and it should work.
Hope this helps. Bud
Before doing that, make sure your wi-fi is turned on in your router. If the adapter is not seeing a signal, it may well be that your router is not broadcasting one. If you have another computer with wi-fi (like a notebook), or know someone who does, you can always use it (or theirs) to see if they can "see" the router via wi-fi, which will tell you if the problem is router or adapter.
Wireless Adapter Installation
A. Install the software.
Note: Firewall and anti-spyware need to be disabled. They sometimes treat software installation as a behavior of a spyware and therefore will prevent installation.

1. Please power on your computer. Allow the operating system to boot up completely and log in as needed. 2. Insert the NETGEAR adapter Resource CD into your CD-ROM drive. The CD main page shown at the right will then load. 3. Click the Install Driver & Utility. 4. Please make sure that you follow the Install Shield Wizard steps.

We hope that the above steps provided would help resolve the problem. If the steps above did not work, we will need to get some additional details from you to be able to assist you further. I have summarized my questions below:
1. Can your computer go online when it is hardwired to the router? 2. What wireless adapter are you using? 3. What is the operating system of your computer?
Thanks Bubbabear64, with a bit of messing about I sorted it. Brilliant!
