finally installed the os, can't get on line though it can't find a driver for my wireless card

any solutions?\

ps, really surprised how fast this installed, about 15 minutes
 
you might have to download the driver from the card manufacturer. What brand card is it?
 
thanx johnny, it's broadcom, went to their site, will have to download while booted to vista then install

preciate the help

silly perris, it's a marvell top dog ec85

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.

ya, about a year old, three gig intel core2, 260 gig hardrive, not a bad piece of hardware

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 ...

Yeah... the installer is checking for the os and doesn't recognize 7... my wife's laptop did the same thing... the drivers themselves were fine, though.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
