So my friend has tried installing several wireless USB receivers on his computer, none of which seem to do anything at all. The drivers install just fine, but when it gets to the point where you plug in the device and the Found New Hardware wizard appears, the new hardware is not properly detected and Windoze cannot install the device. He booted an Ubuntu LiveCD and says the wireless device works just fine (Hooray for Linux), unfortunately he requires a Windows platform.
I've tried fiddling with it such as uninstalling the device in Device Manager and uninstalling (via uninstallers) the old wireless utilities, but I think there is either too many random drivers he's tried or his computer just hates us. Do the experts of SEN have any suggestions or advice?

I've heard that clean uninstalls can help.
Boot in safe mode and then uninstall. Then try to find all entries in the registry and delete them manually.
Then reboot and try again.

Also it might be important not to plug in the adapter until the correct driver has been installed.

I've tried uninstalling/re-installing in safe-mode, but it doesn't let me finish until I'm out of safe-mode. Haven't tried deleting registry values.

Yes, this is what the installation manual said to do.

He installed another copy of WinXP (dual-boot the same operating system? I have no idea why.). I think he said it didn't work on that either. ;o

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition

Symmetry -- But can AI beat my custom maps?

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM

NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation

[2026-9-22. : 8:47 am]

NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?
