hello everyone,
my room mate had the same problem after some wanna be had reformatted his laptop and installed winxp but did not bother to check if the d-link dwa-125 would work, arrrgh! so i had to come to the rescue to repair the problem, my room mate didn't bother to ask me to do the reformatting since she know i was too busy.
so to make the story short, i eneded up helping her anyways, should have done it when she first asked!
while looking for a solution i found this post, no answers so i wanted to post it here, (i only registered here to help you guys, i might not visit this site again, the step is:
1. Download the new driver "1.20 HW A1" http://www.dlink.com.ph/support/Support_download.asp?idsupport=784
2. Make sure to un-install al previous versions you have previously installed, after un-install restart your pc then delete all remaining uninstalled folders
3. install the driver you downloaded, it will prompt you to plug the d-link, there are times it will not blink, so you have to redo the process of removing and inserting it again until it blinks, then proceed the installation.
4. If #3 did not prompt your d-link to blink, download an updated version of your network drivers depending in our model. Make sure you do this from the official website
5. repeat process #3, click refresh button while re-doing this process
6. It should work now, i got my friends working great
