W7 and adapter-troubles

[Peterwolfe]

Have installed W7 on a partition to test it, a real one, no RTM. till hanging on XP for the time being. Device managerXP shows me the D-Link DWL-G510 adapter and the 1394 and Nvidia adapters that I have diabled. W7 only shows the NVidia and no D-Link adapter. I installed the D-Link driver via the D-Link CD, ut nope, nothing shows. Do I have to take 'm out, restart and than put 'm in again or?? And if I do, has that consequences for XP? When in W7 I can see the light of the com-card so it seems to work, but no flickering and no recognition in the Device Manager...what now....?

Specs: AMD Athlon 64, 2.02Ghz, 3200+, 3Gb RAM, XP+SP3 and all the other gadgets of Uncle Bily..., AVG free, XP Firewall,
(W7= W7 Ultimate raw and pure...lol...have plans to use freeware only...)

Was not sure where exactly to put my question...my apologies

You need to get the Windows 7 connected to the internet.
There are thousands of updates and drivers you can only get from  the internet. Get a connection however you can. Most common NIC cards work in Windows 7. But wireless is another thing. Unless you have the driver CD.

You have to make sure that the device actually has a driver for that OS.  Not all devices have drivers for Windows 7.

right, the company had just announced they had a beta driver for W7, have downloaded it, but not yet tried out...will report back
