Question Wireless-N USB Network Adapter issue
Problem is simple yet strange: I put in the CD that comes with the wireless USB Network Adapter, after the installation is comeplete, the wizard then says to connect the actual USB.- the installation is then completed.

The wireless USB shows a blue light when it is plugged in and is working correctly..

It will work for a good while (several hours) until I have to restart my computer. When the computer is restarted, many times (not every time) the USB network adapter light will not come on and will act as if it is not plugged in. So, I take it out, wait 15 seconds, and put it back in. Nothing happens.

I then try a different USB slot... once plugged into the new slot the USB network adapter light will come on, and installs "new" drivers. (Drivers I thought the CD installed??)

This goes on until i have reinstalled the exact drivers in all my USB slots (4x). Once I reach the 4th one, and restart my computer, none of the USB slots respond to the network adapter. I then am forced to go back to square one, and put the CD back in just to get the device to work. and the process goes on and on and on.

-I would like to keep the adapter in the same USB slot, forever.

-Why can't I and what am I doing wrong here?

USB slots all appear to be fine, all are USB 2.0, mouse devices, memory sticks, mp3 players all work fine in all my USB slots...

HELP!!!
