   Your adapter should be listed, and there should not be a yellow exclamation point or a red "x" next to it. Absence of these marks indicates that the adapter is properly installed with the correct drivers and that there are no conflicts.

   If there is a yellow or red problem indicator on the adapter's icon, you may have to look at your device guide to troubleshoot the problems or contact support staff.
