The best i can come up with is wait until they release a windows 7 driver that works. Microsoft did make huge improvements in compatibility that VISTA did not have but there are still some weak points. Either find another way to access the internet or just go back to the other OS you were running is my suggestion.(sorry I posted about this in the "hardware" forum earlier, should have put it here)
Realtek 8187b driver installed properly according to the installer, but in Device Manager it is seen as not working "unable to start."
Consequently the Network and Sharing Center does not see the device at all and reports nothing to connect to.
I tried troubleshooting and reinstalling, updating the driver, etc to no avail.
Any ideas?

Try to do a manual install of the network adaptor.
If you don't know how, let me know and I will guide you...
First, open the device manager.
Search for the network adapter, maby it's a yellow exclamation mark, Expand on the + sign.
Right click on your adapter or whatever it says.. choose Properties ->Disable. Maby you have to reboot the computer now to make the change. Back to the device manager, network adapter, right click -> Properties -> Driver ->Update driver software.
Choose Browse my computer for driver software, Choose Let me pick from a list of a device drivers on my computer. Choose Network adapters, Choose Have disk, Now, browse to the location of the network adapter driver.
Ok to install the driver.
When the installation is complete, restart your computer to see if it worked..
It's always a good install to manually install drivers a lot of the install programs will hang and can cause all sorts of problems, but especially since this is beta software drivers need to be installed manually, because most of the drivers out currently will treat it as a vista install.
