when you install a device have to keep track of which usb port you plug it in to cause if you plug it into a different one,the device has to be installed again.
thnx for the reply guys ok for the first comment windows 7 automatically installes the driver when you plug it in. i didnt try the drivers as it already had the drivers installed and it was supposed to be running fine according to device manager when i run the network diagnosits it says its a driver issue but when i run the device manager says driver is working properly. for second issue i did install the device again actually what i did was plug it in all four of my usb ports unistalled the network adapeter then plugged it back in the first one again installed it still no joy i did a system restore no joy there too. last resort i formatted reinstall on windows 7 i think this is a bug in windows 7 for the d link adapter or any adapter were if u unplug ur adapter then plug it back into a diffrent port it messes up
