Hi, welcome to the forums :)

Try downloading from Here and select the B version. You'll find that it has support for Windows 7.

THANKS alot!
just wondering, i had to download this on my laptop as i obviously do not have internet connection on my stationary, and therefore i don't have winrar on my stationary either, can i just move everything (winrar and the update) to my stationary from my laptop using a USB?

okey, i've transferred and everything. installed it now but it only installes some sort of a wlan utility program that really does'nt do a single thing...went to update device drivers and found my device and pressed update driver software, still same prob, win 7 can't find any updates..what to do???

what version is your card? B? L? or SE?

that's my problem, because at first it stod only Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller under network adapters. and then after searching around it seemed to me as if that was the device built inside my computer, my network card. and then i found this RTL8187_wireless under unknown device along with another device simply called "unknown device"..... then i right-clicked on RTL8187 > and then i clicked update drivers and i had to search manually for drivers as i had no internet. i did so and chose the driver i had downloaded on my laptop and transferred to my stationary it did not work.. so i tried again but this time i pressed : let me pick from a list of devices instead. and only found the SE type on the list under network adapters. so i clicked on it and got a update driver, saying it was not recommended because windows cannot verify that it is compatible with my hardwar. i clicked yes and got a bluescreen. then i restarted my pc and now the SE type was shown under the device manager>network adapters page. and when i troubleshoot my internet connection now it says that "Realtek RTL8187SE 802.11 b/g Wireless LAN PCIE network has a driver problem" but im not sure if that is my type as it only appeared after i had clicked on it... i think it is that named "unknown device" under the unknown device page, i don't think windows can identify my inernet receiver
