Default Unable to Install Driver

Please mail me and I'll try and get back to you tomorrow. The problem,
based on my earlier work with John, is that the
C:\Program Files\RalinkRT7xWireless LANCardAegis folder containing:
acAuth.dll, AegisE2.dll, AegisI2.exe, AegisI5.exe isn't created or populated
and similarly for the rt73 driver files. John managed to solve his problem
by using a copy of this folder and files that I e-mailed him.

I'll try and dig out the details overnight and let you have a copy. I'm
sorry I can't help "right now" as I'm currently rather busy on another
problem. In preparation I would probably use system restore to roll your
system back to the state it was in before you hit your Is_ap_sta_6x_d_1
problems as they should be unrelated to your problems with the wi-fi card.

Mike,

I am having a similar problem with trying to install a Sabrent G802
pci wireless card in my HP6745C (Windows ME). On initial
installation the install program would hang just before completing
(the progress bar extended all the way to the end). On restart,
hardware showed as recognized, and the green light on the card blinks
on. The problem appears to be with the Ralink wireless utility
installation.

I do get a startup alert that AeGise2.dll is missing. FYI, the
Sabrent card has a Ralink 2561 (RT61). I went on the Ralink site and
downloaded and installed that driver (version 1.2.6.0), but it still
hung on the Ralink utility installation. I have to force the install
program closed every time. After reading the posts here, I thought
perhaps installing the most recent version of the Ralink utility
might work, but it did not (it was a 2009 USB RT7x driver package).

Last night I decided not to force kill the hanging install and went
to bed. I woke up to a different message this morning: an error has
occured in your program IS_ap_sta_6x_d_1.

Upon reboot, I didn't see the usual Aegis2.dll missing notice, but
instead, that Is_ap_sta_6x_d_1 has caused an error in I81XDW9.DRV,
which I found out is for the Intel 82810 graphics controller. I
updated the graphics controller to the most recent version I could
find (my previous was dated 2000, the update...I think v6.7, was
dated 8/23/2002), and tried to reinstall the WAN card driver and
Ralink utility (both the RT6x and RT7x versions), but it hung again.
Keep in mind, that throughout all these reinstalls, the card is
recognized upon restart (hardware install window briefly opens), and
the green light is blinking.

Ralink exists in the start menu, and there is a Ralink folder in my
programs, but upon execution, I get a missing Aegise2.dll message
(I'm not sure where to look for this dll, but it is not in the Ralink
folder)

So my problem is that I think I have a properly installed WAN card
(it shows as properly installed in Device manager, and the green
light is on), but I don't have a functional utility to get myself
connected. I can't find anything to manage the connection on the ME
system which is similar to my other wireless XP systems.

I thought there might be a 3rd party wireless management utility, and
I thought I found one (BVRP Connection Manager Lite 1.0), but the
several dowload sites I found actually download v1.1, which upon
install alerts an incompatable OS and shuts down the install.

Since I think my wireless card works, is there a simple solution to
getting myself connected to my network? I have a Robotics USR5461
wireless g router, using a WEP key.
