I didn't try it on Windows XP. I set up a computer with mint linux, and expected there would be installation issues, but, after I installed the card, turned on the computer it worked (got to the internet via WiFi) without installing anything. My guess is that you'll have the same experience with Windows XP

i installed the driver to my new Sony Laptop with Vista but it keeps saying can't find the device. I am getting very frustrated about this process. Can any one help me on this issue, thanks:=))

I am using the antenna portion on a windows 7 laptop. The software disk that came included did not work correctly. After numerous tries I plugged the USB plug into the laptop and to my surprise I was receiving wifi signals I had not be getting before. I can not with certainty if you would have the same results on an XP machine. For what its worth I would say just about anything I've seen that will run in windows 7 generally will run on XP.

I've had no problems with WIN7 and this small DVD/CD drive. My concern is that those who could not get it to work might have failed to read the info provided in the Amazon listing. This device does require the use of 2 USB 2 ports. Plugging it into one USB port does not provide enough power. If you don't have such a USB cord, look around for multiple listings for an A-B Y cable with two regular USB plugs.

try TP-link WN7200ND. I had Linksys ae3000 which was a very poor product. I replaced it with WN7200ND and I had no problems. My computer is five years old and has Windows 7. But WN7200ND will work with Windows Vista.

Actually, no. I have two of these...one on a Win7 box and one on a Vista box and both work fine with the stock windows drivers.

I was not successful getting it to work so far. I've tried the supplied driver, used the Windows 7 plug and play driver, neither recognizes it. It was under $10, so I'm not going to try to mail it back to China, now sits in the bottom of a drawer and I'm just using my USB 2 ports instead of trying to add a USB 3 and/or eSATA ports. When I have a hour to kill, I may try installing it again, but faster to just use USB 2. You get what you pay for...

I have it running on a windows 7 home premium OS. I don't remember exactly how I set it up, but it was quite easy--not just plug-and-play, but I don't think you have to go out to manually search on the internet to get drivers. I think the setup instructions were clear and easy. One thing was that I did have to have a hard ethernet connection on the computer for setup--I couldn't get it to work just from the disk.

To the best of my knowledge, most drivers that support Vista and Win 7 also support Server 2008, but contact Anker. The folks there are very supportive. And I believe that if you asked them for a full refund AND return shipping, they would honor it. See my review for the steps I used to make it work on my (apparently) outdated system. The card works fine and is backwards compatible. Call "Sunnie" toll-free at 1-800-988-7973. Cheers.

Another issue: install of MFC suite driver/utilities on Vista machines. Whether on my x32 or x64 machine, both failed or at best, erratic in connection. The software can see the wireless printer fine. The machines can ping the printer just fine. So connection is good. The problem lies with auto configuration. Do not use it. Make sure you choose "custom install". Then at the crucial step of finding the printer, type in the printer's ip address manually. That way, the pc's can see the printer as long as it is within the network range. XP machines do not have this issue with the auto install.

I have no experience. There are Windows Vista drivers on Gigabyte's website for this board...so I can only assume...

Go to B links website and download the software. I also got a error with the download though. I am using windows 7 (64). The software works, but it sometimes blue screens my computer when i plug the USB in. Good luck!

It works perfectly under my Windows XP, but if you have a version that does not support usb ports, you´ll have to install the drivers separately. But the hardware works perfect :)

For Win XP and Vista, drivers are online with website on mini CD. But drivers needed for Win 7 or 8, for me. My O/S is Win 7 pro 32 bit.

Yes, I have used with XP and Win7. These things work great and are so cheap! We ordered a bunch just to have at the office. The driver calls it a "USB-SERIAL CH340" under WinXP. The driver file can be found online. The one I have had success with is actually called "CH341SER.xxx" but works great. Just search the web. Good Luck!
