Q07: I can’t configure the Wireless PCI Card when installed with Windows XP?

Please open start / settings / control panel / system management utilities / service to check "Wireless Zero Configuration" service is existed and the service is started automatically.
- If the service is not started automatically please change it to "automatically" and start this service.
- If the service does not exist please open start/run and type “regedit” then press enter. To find HKEY_LOCAL_MANCHINE/SYSTEM/CURRENT_CONTROL_SET/SERVICES/WZCSVC and ADD DWORD "START", VALUE = 2 then reboot the computer.
It is a known bug for Windows XP to upgrade service pack 1 without disable Wireless Zero Configuration utility. If possible, please upgrade the card driver/utility version to the latest release.

Q06: Why the driver and utility have to be installed before plug in the PCI card?

Because the driver released is not a WHQL driver (Microsoft certificate), if you plug the card before install the driver. Windows will detect a new hardware and try to find a suitable driver for this new device and of course Windows is not able to find a driver for this device. The problem is here, if user cancel windows search then install device driver, this device can works fine. But if user let windows to search a driver for this device, windows will see this device as a problem device and user cannot install it automatically.We understand it is not convenient for end user and we are preparing a new driver to pass WHQL test, new WHQL driver will ready to release and this problem will disappear.
