Nothing detected on PCI slots

Hi, I upgraded my OS to Vista, and due to this I had to upgrade my network adapter since my previous one(Linksys WUSB11) is not compatible with Vista. So I bought Linksys WMP300N. Sonehow, all 3 PCI slots don't seem to detect it. I tried it on another computer and it works. My CPU is about 6 month old, motherboard is BIOSTAR P35D2-A7 and this is the first time I'm utilising the PCI slots. I also tried slotting other cards in them, but they're not detected as well. Is there any way I can fix this problem or are there drivers I can download to solve it? Thanks in advance.

    I've tried slotting the network adapter on all 3 slots but to no avail. I've tried slotting other PCI cards inside. Same results. However, the light at the back of the card was on even though nothing is detected.

    I also checked under Device Manager>System devices>PCI bus and it states that the device is working properly. Do this mean anything or I'm looking at the wrong indicator to determine whether my PCI slots are working?

Will an ati radeon 9250se graphic card be compatible in an emachine d2244 computer? there are two empty pci slots on the motherboard above the one that has the phone and modem conections. i have upgraded...

Hello,

I am presuming you have XP on your computer.

According to ATI, this graphics board should work fine in a spare PCI slot.

Install in the top PCI slot as your CMOS detects top to bottom.
XP should detect the ATI board and will ask for drivers.
Install your CD drivers and or software as needed.

If you have VIsta or Windows 7, it does not appear ATI supports them for drivers.

Good Luck

Usb1 upgrade to USB2

You mean USB 1.0 to 2.0, yes you can. As long as you have a PCI vacant slot inside your pc.
You just need to purchase a usb 2.0 PCI card.
You will have new USB slots. You will need to use those new slots to benefit from 2.0( it will do nothing to the older 1.0 slots) .

Simply download it and run that and you will have your drivers (the software that allows the hardware and computer to communicate)

Want to add a network adapter to my laptop

I sometimes have problems with cookies on the linksys site so

http://www.linksys.com

Go to support
(choose North America and US as appropriate)

Choose Linksys Windows Vista Support on left blue bar.

Choose Download Drivers toward center of page

the 5th line under adapters is USB200M V2 (version 2 of the adapter) - if this is your adapter's version (there is a version 1 of this adapter too) there appears to be a 32 bit Vista driver.
