I have Windows Vista installed on my laptop, and bought this USB 2.0 card, and Vista will recognize it, and install the drivers with no problem but it will not recognize anything I plug into the card. I have the newest drivers from the site, and Vista is part of the recommendations for this card. I am 100% certain that this card works, because it works with XP, any help? Thanks.
Well to start working with XP is no guarantee it works with Vista.
What is the make and model of the card?
that would be Dynex DX-UC202 Ferrit :p
this is a pcmcia card right?
PCMCIA cards often have problems with supplying the right voltage. What usb devices have you plugged in to it? I have to ask as well, what laptop do you have? Vista compatible laptops have usb 2.0 built in...
Yes, it's PCMCIA. All I tried to plug in was a 2GB thumb drive but I usually have a 2.0 hub installed. It's for my Dell C640, doesn't come with 2.0 and not necessarily Vista compatible:rolleyes:
ok, if you plug in something a little more simple, like a mouse, does that work?
Vista has some problems with some flash drives - what make and model?
The flash drive was a SanDisk Cruzer Micro 2GB. And yeah, I tried a mouse, and my keyboard to no avail.
Sandisk cruzers do have issues with Vista.
You need to try that pcmcia card in another laptop and see if you get a response to plugging in a device. If not, it is probably faulty.
I have the same problem. My laptop is a sony vaio vgn-sz430n preloaded with vista. I contacted dynex's customer service and they told me that the card is supposed to work with Vista. In bestbuy they told me to download the newest driver in dynex's web page which I did and had the same result...

What devices were you plugging into the dynex card? Did any of them use U3?
Well, if the card functions in a laptop running XP but not in your notebook running Vista (this is a new laptop, right?) then the Vista driver would have to be non-functional. Otherwise, there isn't any reason why a mouse, etc. wouldn't be detected and functional. Sandisk Cruzers do have problems under Vista, but that is just the crapware they ship on the drive. The second partition is accessible and works with no problems. You just can't run the U3 software. As if anyone wants to anyway.
I have tried all that I can think of. I downloaded the drivers from the website to no avail. The Sandisk Cruzer that I have doesn't have the U3 software on it anymore, I got rid of that. But ANYTHING I plug into this thing doesn't work. When I plug in my Sandisk, the orange light on the flash drive blinks, so I know the card has power to it, but that's all it does is blink.
Sorry you haven't had any more replies... has there been any progress?
If it functions in a (different) notebook running XP, but not in your laptop running vista, it introduces the possibility that the pcmcia slot requires a driver update or is possibly faulty. This you would need to take up with your notebook vendor.
This just bewilders me, I have exactly the same problem one year after this thread was created. I hope you guys found a solution, this is really frustrating.

What pcmcia card make and model do you have?
Are you using Vista with it?
The card says Dynex DX-UC202 and I am trying it on a Toshiba laptop with Vista. I already downloaded the drivers on Dynexproducts.com and the laptop identifies the card, but it doesnt identify the usb's attached to the card.
Try updating the drivers You may also need to update your laptop chipset drivers or the cardbus drivers - which laptop have you got? If not then the Dynex number for support is 1-800-305-2204
My computer is a Toshiba Satelle A135-S2386
New bios updates here two of which are specifically for vista... did you install either of these first? Or did your satellite come with Vista pre-installed?
You have the ATI Radeon Express 200 chipset. the south bridge driver is here towards the bottom of the page. This should be installed after any bios update and before updating any other drivers such as video or sound.
I have the latest BIOS update and I also downloaded the sound bridge driver and still doesnt work.:knife:
Phone Dynex - the unit may be faulty or incompatible with the laptop.
