Hi:

 

Unfortunately, Realtek never developed any XP or Vista drivers for the the Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi adapter your notebook comes with.

 

So if the W7 driver didn't work on Vista, then you are out of luck.

 

You should be able to use the Vista ethernet driver though, and connect via ethernet cable.

 

Download, unzip and run the setup application from the Windows Vista driver at the link below...
