There are only 32-bit drivers for it; if you are running 64-bit you may need a new adapter or you may be able to get it to work through virtual XP mode if you can set up a virtual PC/VirtualBox for WinXP

thanks for the response. Eventually sorted the problem out by reloading the drivers from the utility cd.
