Hi folks,

I've got a question. On my Windows XP (32-bit) machine I have a D-Link
Wi-Fi USB-adapter (DWA-142) installed which works just fine using D-
Link driver. I am going to move to a 64-bit Windows XP soon but there
is a problem because D-Link does not provide 64-bit version of the
driver for the device. I tried to use 32-bit driver inside 64-bit
Windows XP and it failed. Does anyone know the way how to resolve the
issue? (For instance: Is there any 64-bit wrapper on Windows for 32-
bit drivers or anything else?)

Thanks.

64bit operating systems require 64bit drivers. If the manufacturer does not
provide them, your luck has run out..
