Re: doesn't use wireless driver from vista
you might have to download the driver from the card manufacturer. What brand card is it?

I went to their site and they don't show any support for windows 7, I suppose it's in their beta program but that's not public |

Download the Vista driver... if it refuses to install, right click on the installer file, properties, compatibility, set it to Vista.
Should install then. |

anyway, I did what both of you guys said, per johnny I went to the marvel site, downloaded the latest driver, they didn't have one for 7 so per bmc I forced the install, it's working perfectly without having to use compatability mode thanx guys |

Awesome... You will find that a lot of the vista drivers work with windows 7 ...
