network adapter problem

[shishimaru]

hi. i just recently finished building my first computer. everything on it works fine except i cant seem to get a network adapter working. the network adapter i got was the d-link wda-1320. when i run the setup for it, it says that there is no adapter plugged in. is there a setting i need to change in the bios? i already went to the dlink site and downloaded their vista driver but the computer is saying that theres nothing plugged in.. any ideas?

heres my system:
q6600
gigabyte-p35-ds3r
4x1gb memory
vista 64 bit

I didn't bother to look up the interface of that adapter, but if it's PCI try changing the slots that it's plugged into. If it's USB change the port that it's plugged into. You could also try disabling the integrated one in the BIOS. I have a Netgear that won't work if the integrated port is enabled.
