Windows 7 - Intel PRO/100 M network adapter |

Intel PRO/100 M network adapter Hello everyone.
I have an Intel PRO/100 M network adapter and I can't find a driver for it, for Windows 7 x64.
Windows XP (32 bit) can recognize it automatically.
Windows Vista (32 bit) does not have built-in drivers for it, but it can get them from Windows Update without me having to search for them.
But Windows 7 (64 bit) can't find them. I have searched everywhere for drivers for my network adapter, but I can't find them.
Does anyone know where I can get a driver for my adapter?
Here's the hardware ID: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1229&SUBSYS_00098086&REV_05

You can use the vista 64bit driver if you install it in compatibility mode. to do that right click the installer>properties>compatibility>check vista

I have tried downloading PROVISTAx64 from here: Network Adapter Driver for Windows Vista*
But it says that "this package is not supported on this operating system"
I have tried changing its compatibility settings, but I can't.

Rather than using the package to install it just extract the files then go to device manager, select the device and update the driver. Manually install the driver by pointing the update to the files you extracted. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home built OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64 CPU Phenom II X4 955 BE Motherboard Asus Crosshair III Formula Memory 4 GB OCZ BE 1667 Graphics Card EVGA GeForce GTX260 core 216 896 MB Monitor(s) Displays BenQ 19" Screen Resolution 1280x1024 Keyboard Logitech Mouse Logitech PSU Thermaltake 700w Case Coolermaster Cosmos 1000 Cooling Air Hard Drives 2x WD2500KS

I have extracted the files, and there are 3 directories which contain drivers.
Selecting the first (PRO1000\Winx64) gives me many drivers which are PRO/1000, not PRO/100. If I select any of them, I get a message saying "The driver might not be compatible", so that's not good.
Selecting the second (PROXGB\Winx64\NDIS61) gives me the message "The folder you specified does not contain a compatible driver for your device".
Selecting the third (APPS\PROSETDX\Vistax64\DRIVERS) shows me only one driver: Intel Advanced Network Services Virtual Adapter. So that's not good either.
The page where I downloaded this file said it was compatible with PRO/100 M.
Also, this page: Windows Compatibility center says that the board is fully compatible, no action required.
I'm starting to think that my board might not be PRO/100 M. What do you think? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Sager NP5135 (Clevo B5130M) OS Windows 7 x64 with SP1 CPU Intel Core i7 640M @ 2.8 GHz Motherboard Clevo B5130M Memory Corsair CM3X8GSDKIT1066 (2x4GB DDR3 1066 CL7) Graphics Card NVidia GT425M Sound Card Onboard (VIA VT1812) Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Cooling Stock Hard Drives Seagate Momentus XT (500 GB + 4GB SSD) |

I made a screenshot of what Software Informer tells me.
It looks like it's not PRO/100 M, it's PRO/100 +.
Windows 7 compatibility center tells me it's compatible, and no action is required, but I still can't use it | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Sager NP5135 (Clevo B5130M) OS Windows 7 x64 with SP1 CPU Intel Core i7 640M @ 2.8 GHz Motherboard Clevo B5130M Memory Corsair CM3X8GSDKIT1066 (2x4GB DDR3 1066 CL7) Graphics Card NVidia GT425M Sound Card Onboard (VIA VT1812) Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Cooling Stock Hard Drives Seagate Momentus XT (500 GB + 4GB SSD) |

That page has 83 results, and the only one for Windows 7 says that the drivers are included in Windows 7 and provides no download link | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Sager NP5135 (Clevo B5130M) OS Windows 7 x64 with SP1 CPU Intel Core i7 640M @ 2.8 GHz Motherboard Clevo B5130M Memory Corsair CM3X8GSDKIT1066 (2x4GB DDR3 1066 CL7) Graphics Card NVidia GT425M Sound Card Onboard (VIA VT1812) Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Cooling Stock Hard Drives Seagate Momentus XT (500 GB + 4GB SSD) Intel PRO/100 M network adapter problems?
