    Windows 7 Cannot enable wireless adapters.

    I was using a DWA 140 wireless dongle from D-Link on XP and it worked fine. However, after installing the drivers repeatedly in Windows 7, I cannot get it to work. Looking in the device manager section, it shows up under its proper name. It's enabled. Properties reveals there are "no problems"...
