Hi everyone, i started using windows 7 a few days ago and have been experiencing problems with installing drivers for the wireless adapters that i use. I have 2 adapters, the Linksys Wireless-G Network Adapter WUSB54G and the Aztech Wireless-N WL552USB Network Adapter. I have tried using windows update and installing the drivers from the CDs given, but no avail. I'd really appreciate any suggestions to help me get this up and working, Thanks!

It seems like you are encountering issues with installing drivers for your wireless adapters on Windows 7. Let's troubleshoot this step by step.

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Check Device Manager:
   • Open Device Manager by pressing Windows Key + X and selecting Device Manager.
   • Look for any devices with a yellow triangle, indicating missing or problematic drivers for your wireless adapters.
   []Download Drivers:
   • Visit the official websites of Linksys and Aztech to download the latest drivers compatible with Windows 7 for your specific wireless adapters.
   []Manually Install Drivers:
   • If the driver setup from the CDs is not working, try manually installing the drivers:
     • Right-click the problematic device in Device Manager.
     • Select Update driver and choose Browse my computer for driver software.
     • Locate the driver files you downloaded in step 2 and install them.
   []Compatibility Mode:
   • If the drivers are not designed for Windows 7, try running the driver installer in compatibility mode:
     • Right-click the installer, go to Properties, then Compatibility tab.
     • Check Run this program in compatibility mode for and select Windows 7.
   []System Restore:
   • If the issue persists, you can try a system restore to a point before the driver installation attempts.
   []Disable Driver Signature Enforcement:
   • Sometimes, Windows 7 can block the installation of unsigned drivers. You can temporarily disable driver signature enforcement:
     • Restart your computer and press F8 before Windows loads.
     • Select Disable Driver Signature Enforcement.
   []Update Windows:
   • Make sure your Windows 7 is up-to-date by running Windows Update as it can help in fixing driver-related issues. Give these steps a try and let me know if you encounter any specific issues during the process.
