SIS 900 driver won't work on windows 7

Hello
I installed win 7 64 bit and my computer can not recognize the network adapter driver so I can not connect to the internet.
I tried downloading the sis 900 driver from the sis website and to install it in windows 7 but it seems that win 7 does not recognize the inf file and when I browse for it the system does not find it.
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated

Eh it's really old, and i think stopped receiving support a while back. Well Right now as i type i am downloading a small basket of the sis 900 drivers. I will upload it then we can determine which one is yours.

This seems to work the best
1.) Boot up your PC
2.) At Windows 7 boot up press F8 then go to select Safe mode with Netowrk support
3.) Go to Device manager
4.) Select delete your Network adapter
5.) Refresh then re-install your Network adapter
6.) Select manual install point to your either PC or MB maker's original network driver
7.) After installation your are done! Re-Boot to Windows 7 again then fly.....

Yes, I know and thus my inquiry.
After having installed Win 7, it did not recognize my current driver
I tried downloading a driver from the SIS web site but it did not help as the Win 7 could not even recognize the new driver and thus could not install it (I d/l the XP driver)

I am currently back in Xp Pro as could not get online with Win 7 32 due to it not being able to recognize the SIS driver.
If I re-install win 7, it would not have a driver for the Ethernet and I wouldn't be able to get online and get that driver again.
I can get it on my laptop and transfer it through a zip drive but I did that last week and it didn't work

Gah this is a pain:/ when they created Windows 7 they should have taken their driver database and carried ALL of it over along with the new Plug and play stuff.
Device manager and right click the ethernet>Properties>Details>Change the dropdown to hardware ids. Copy and paste it in your next post.
