Wireless Driver after Windows 7 Clean Install

[jt_swanson]

No, I have not. I guess I assumed that to use VIsta drivers, I would need to downgrade Windows 7 back to Vista. I think that would work, as bluetooth worked fine under Vista. However, there are other things I like about Windows 7 and I was hoping that I would not have to go back to Vista.

I think you are misunderstanding me.

Many Vista drivers work for W7. You don't need to uninstall W7. Just load the driver and software.

I have used Vista drivers all the time in W7 when there is no available W7 driver for the PC, and so does everyone else.

Go to:

Maybe I'm making you busy but have to say, Network controller and Engine drivers worked, there is a little(believe that it is so for you) problem with Fingerprint, driver/software couln't install to the end. it interrupts at the middle of installation, but in the Device Manager window it appears as Biometric Devices/Validity Sensor, but when I touch to sensor with finger no response.

Check is this this fingerpint driver installed in your system.

If it listed then uninstall it first from system.
