Belkin Wireless G Adapter Drivers?[MOVED]

Yelnats · 07-17-2009, 12:58 PM

Hey guys! I have this really problem. I recently installed Windows 7 and learned that by upgrading my drivers I can get a better range. Well that exactly what I did. Or tried... I found out that I had a Belkin Wireless G adapter, F5D7000 and the version was 4000tt. After doing this I went to the website and downloaded version 4xxx. It gave me a driver for a Broadcom Adapter. I think this may be the chip, unsure

. So now whenever I run it (the wireless configuration utility) it gives me this message : The wireless network adapter could not be accessed. This application may have diminished functionality as a result. Any help? Thanks! Oh and BTW, I can still connect to my router, but am using the default windows thingy. Thanks

Are you running 32 or 64 bit Windows7?
Are you running the 32 or 64 bit version of the wireless adapter drivers?
Did you download Windows 7 or Windows Vista drivers?
If Windows Vista drivers, did you install them in Compatibility mode for ALL USERS, selecting "Run as Windows Vista" and "Run as adminsitrator"?

Forgot to mention. 64 bit drivers. There was not 32/64 bit version, just a download. I am thinking its 32 bit. They were Vista drivers. How do I install under Compatibility mode? Or do I just run it in compatibility mode?

P.S. The only way to get to the shortcut is in control panel. I can't enable compatibility mode.
