Connect Ralink RT2571 to new PC

Question

I bought a new PC with the AsRock Z77 Extreme 4m motherboard, since this has no WLAN, I extracted the WLAN card from my old PC, a Ralink RT 2571 WF, an connected it to the new board. I downloaded the driver from http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support/support.php?sn=500 (the RT257x USB one) and installed it. In the device manager, an unknown device shows up, but if I tell it to search its driver, it does not find it (searching in the whole C partition).

The Ralink Diagnostic Test says that the WLAN Card is disabled.

I'm using Windows 7 64bit professional. Can anyone suggest me a solution to get my WLAN running?

Solution

Perhaps instead of letting windows search for the driver, tell it exactly where the driver is by using the "Have Disk" method.

Ralink RT2571 is NOT compatible with Win 7!

Ok, now it finds the driver RT73 USB Wireless LAN Card, but it cannot start it (Error 10).
