I have Windows XP and I followed the instructions in the Quick Installation Guide to install TU2-ET100 (v3), however, at the end of the installation, the "Found New Hardware Wizard" prompted "Windows could not load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)". After that, the screen shows a message "A problem occurred during the hardware installation. Your new hardware might not work properly.". How can I resolve this?

If you are seeing the messages like the pictures above, please check the bottom of the TU2-ET100. If it shows "H/W:V3.0R", check the CD-ROM that comes with the TU2-ET100 and if it says "Version 3.1", please follow the instructions below to update the driver.

  7. Click on "No, not this time" and click "Next".

  8. Click on "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and click "Next".

  9. Click on "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install." and click "Next".

  10. Click on "Have Disk…".

  11. Click on "Browse".

  12. At "Locate File", "Look in:", click on the "drop-down arrow" next to "My documents", and select "TU2-ET100" (the CD-ROM drive) from the list.

  13. Double-click on "Driver" folder.

  14. Double-click on "Win2000_WinXP" folder.

  15. Click on "Open".

  16. You should see the "ASIX AX88772 USB2.0 to Fast Ethernet Adapter" listed, click on "Next".

  17. If you see a message saying "The software you are installing for this hardware: ASIX AX88772 USB2.0 to Fast Ethernet Adapter has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP.", click on "Continue Anyway".

  18. Click on "Finish" to complete the installation.
