Windows 7 Problem with Wi Fi USB

Hey guys I FINALLY BOUGHT A NEW LAPTOP. It has 4GB Ram, 512 Video, 500GB HDD, Core duo 2.2Ghz Compaq Presario and Windows 7 Home Premium

Ok so I have this USB wifi stick

THIS ONE: http://www.wireless-driver.com/download/sagem/sagem-xg-703axg-702a-usb-wireless-adapter-windows-drivers-and-utility.htm


I downloaded the drivers and software for it.
PS: The wifi stick works PERFECT on the old comp with windows XP SP3

I install the software no prob on my laptop but each time I insert the WiFi stick it makes 3 low consecutive sounds and does not tell me that the new hardware was installed or anything. I go to the Hardware Manager and see that there is a yellow exclamation point over the USB stick I just inserted in the USB ports (tried all ports but still the same). I try activating it and deactivating it, I installed and unninstalled it several times but nothing. What can I do so that it instals it ?

PS: Thereßs an error message telling me that there is no driver for the USB WiFi stick installed but the software should have installed it. I tried installing the drivers manually by pointing the folder with them but it won´t do it.

Any suggestions?

 

Just guessing,do you have to install the drivers by running as administrator and/or run the on w7 compatibility mode-for older os.

 

I am the administrator and i Jjust installed the software normally. What about the compatibility for older OS? do I have to switch it to an older one?

 

Try Tiny7 on there.

It's Professional edition too, which has the highest compatibility.
While the Home Edition has the least compatibility. :\

 

eeeeeeeeeeeeeh no. The comp is 2 days old and I am not messing with it yet

 

Ok.

It may be due to Win7 Home not having good compatibility with XP programs...

 

should I install the software by clicking Properties on the setup file and putting compatibility mode to XP?

 

Yes. That may just do it.

 

*tries Win XP SP3* Error: Can not find a driver
*tries SP2* Error: Can not find a driver


halp ;_;

 

Cause it has less compatibility...I don't know what to tell you... :\

 

I tried copying the drivers in the ´´drivers´´ directory................not working


LOOOOOOOOOOOOONYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

lol talk about call of the lion.

Anyway I can´t get a signal of the person who I want with the laptop wi fi but only with the usb stick. The drivers stop the comnpatibility at vista and idk what to do ;_; ...I think I should install XP on another partition

 

That sounds like a waste to me...
If you're going to do that, then why not just make XP your main OS again?

 

NO FUCKING WAY LOL. I like 7 ^^ and i´m too scared to mess something up since waranty doesn´t cover piracy

 

yes but my OS is you know ...Won´t they say something if they find out i have a c*****d version of win xp? I mean IF the comp fuks up and I have to take it in

 

Ah.. no they won't.

I did that several times.

 

ah ok. thanks meg and loony, ace ...now i can install win xp BUT won´t it better if I keep Win7?
I don´t know if XP is better or worse than 7. Any suggestions?
What advantages will there be if I return to xp?

 

You'll have your Wifi.

And...it'll be slightly faster.
