Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of D-Link WDA-1320 Wireless G Desktop Adapter

Customer Review: Works fine with Vista Home Premium 64-bit operating system
Summary: 4 Stars

This adapter is Vista Compatible and its box bears the logo that states this very clearly. Not all such products have the logo, and experience is teaching me that you definitely want the logo that proves certification beyond a doubt.

Installation is a breeze... just insert the card into an empty PCI slot in the motherboard, close up the computer, and then screw the antenna onto the little gold-plated stub that sticks out the back of the case. Follow the easy-to-follow instructions that are provided, use the driver disk, and you'll be connected to your wireless router. You really can't go wrong. I'm getting 100% signal strength, but that's unremarkable because the computer and the wireless router are in the same room.

One thing happened that I still don't understand -- after installation and re-boot, I kept getting messages that the "ANIWZCS2 launcher" for Windows wouldn't do whatever it is that it thinks it needs to do. I googled this up and most comments I saw said to simply disable this ANIWZCS2 thing in the Startup of MSCONFIG. Or, you can download something from Intel called ICH9 INFINST_AUTOL and then run it. I downloaded it, but didn't execute it. This ANIWZCS2 launcher is evidently not something the D-Link wireless card needs on my Vista 64-bit system because I'm going to internet sites just fine with no problem. By unchecking the item in Startup in MSCONFIG, I don't get the nag message anymore. Still, it's irritating things like this come up at all, especially after a product and its software is fully designated as "Vista Compatible". It may not be D-Link's fault -- who knows? Anyway, that's why I gave it four stars instead of five....
