is this a plug and play device for windows xp or does it require a special driver (is it included)?

While a driver disk is included which also contains a Linux distro, most of it is in Chinese/Korean. I used this device with windows 7, no drivers were needed, the OS found and installed it immediately. I would recommend that anyone using this unit with vista/xp be fairly competent in finding and installing generic drivers before purchasing. Once it is installed it performs very well, I found several additional networks and went from barely 1 bar to full signal on a network that is located at least 1/8th of a mile from my home.

I am using the antenna portion on a windows 7 laptop. The software disk that came included did not work correctly. After numerous tries I plugged the USB plug into the laptop and to my surprise I was receiving wifi signals I had not be getting before. I can not with certainty if you would have the same results on an XP machine. For what its worth I would say just about anything I've seen that will run in windows 7 generally will run on XP.

It came with a driver disk, but I could not get it to work with windows xp or 7, but then again, I am not a expert.

It worked plug and play for me on my Windows 7 laptop. The driver on the cd rom would not work on my XP unit. HERE IS WHY!!!!! There are Chinese characters before the Driver.exe, and our computers don't like them. I copied the driver file to my hard drive and renamed it just Driver.exe (removing the characters before Driver) doubled clicked on the new renamed file and it worked and installed just fine.

First, you know this, but deserves repeating XP is no longer supported by MS and soon by others. With that said. Plugable has a 3.0 USB that works (USB3-E1000), I think it will revert to USB 2.0 speed - 100MB, but mine runs at 1GB Also any USB to Ethernet that supports XP will work, has nothing to do with the system and all about USB You can also put a wireless board, but I personally don't use it any more because the USB is faster and doesn't use my wifi bandwidth.

It should work on a w/ XP. You may have to download the drivers from Iomega.

As far as I know no driver is needed, mine was plug and play. If it does need one Windows will find it when you plug it in.

I believe it should work with Windows XP. It just plugs into a USB port. There is no installation.

It is plug and play. I couldn't believe how good it works. It worked well with my 128GB flash drive and 250gb hdd.

As long as you have a USB port available on your computer, I am confident that the product will work. You could contact the manufacturer online and ask the same question of them, or you could buy the product, utilize the "plug and play" feature on your computer and let the computer search for the proper driver online. All of this fooling around is ultimately worth the effort, in my opinion, because the product works great for me. The computer I attached it to is a PC with XP, of course, with no wireless connectivity. So this product did the trick for me, but I have a disc drive, so the driver install was straightforward.

The driver for the USB cable is the problem. Use a reproduction Kenwood serial cable and it works with Win2000/XP.

Yes, It works with Windows XP, that is my operating system. According to the owner's manual it also works with Windows Vista and Windows 2000. The installation CD installs all the necessary drivers.

Mine had some instructions, but they were next to useless. So instead of trying to out think it, I just plugged it in and it works great. Windows XP (service pack 3). I did look online, but failed to find anything of much use, such as a manual. Since I got this device for a dirt cheap price, I'm not complaining. I hve written 100's of data CD's with it without any problems, and have read them back with other drives error free.

The easiest way to set this device up is to install the Microsoft drivers and then manually select the driver in your device manager. With that being said there is an option to download XP drivers from the Microsoft site. I installed it on my laptop that runs XP and it worked fine for me.

Yes it will work just fine. I just tried it on my old Windows XP machine. After you plug it in, give it a couple of minutes to download the driver and recognize the drive.

Yes, I have used with XP and Win7. These things work great and are so cheap! We ordered a bunch just to have at the office. The driver calls it a "USB-SERIAL CH340" under WinXP. The driver file can be found online. The one I have had success with is actually called "CH341SER.xxx" but works great. Just search the web. Good Luck!
