Try searching for the Ralink RT61 (RT256x/RT266x) driver on Windows 8.1. That has worked for some people. That unit was EOL (End of Life), as of around 2011.

Then you may want to just get a new adapter. There is not much you can do with obsolete hardware.

The Wireless-n adapters can be bought for $5 these days. You may just want to go that route, than hunt down an outdated driver for an archaic wireless card. The Rosewill cards are decent cards.
