Hi, I just bought my DWA-542 card the other day.
I've had so much trouble with this card and I don't understand what the problem is or how to fix it.
The problem is straight up I can't get the card to work.
I used to have vista when I first tried and it worked one time, rebooted didn't work again.
I was sick of vista anyway so I formatted my HD and installed XP, I downloaded the XP drivers and even tried using the CD that came with I get the same things everytime:

I get that when I run the CD installer, or it tells me it can't find the adapter.
When I try and use the .inf files for XP I get this: or the device cannot start

I've tried: moving the card to a different PCI slot, taking it out and putting it back in.
Once I think it's going to work when it sometimes gets through the setup I get this at 99%:
