Belkin Usb wireless driver  

Hi,

I installed Windows 7 earier today, and I have a Belkin Wireless G USB adapter, and I've tried installing the version 3 drivers, installing them in compatibility mode, and rebooted my PC stupidly often (between every new attempt and uninstall of previous attempts) but to no avail. Windows can't find the drivers, does anyone else have a potential solution, and could you tell me where the Windows 7 folder which houses drivers is? And is there a way to manually select the folder which contains the driver?

Thanks.

Thanks, that didn't help but I sorted it, after fiddling with different drivers, it turned out there was a file left over from the 1st installation which meant the correct vista-compatible drivers didn't work, but after sorting that and running it in compatibility mode again it worked.

Yes was a bit of a faff, but cheers for the info. I found V 5.0 belkin F5D7050 drivers worked - I didn't cotton-on at 1st that it was the actual install file (f5d7050v5.exe) which I had to right-click and set to vista compatibility mode (for all users also) - then it worked.

Win 7's nice, more minimalistic and straight-forward than vista (like xp) and of course IE8 being bundled, it all adds up to a great-to-have OS. Using it on a nearly 6 year-old machine (2.2Ghz AMD) and runs fine but is slow to boot up (can't have it all)!

Thanks to all in this thread. My Win7 has been crashing several times and I hope it was because of the Belkin driver (I was originally using version 1 of this particular driver). I was able to install version 3 after reading the posts, so far so good!

I may try to switch the download file of version 5 to vista compatibility to see if that might work, but I will see if my system is stable first.

Thanks again!

Barman58, thanks for the info. I am running the Belkin version 3 but it shows up as version 1. Anyway, I think I am using the right one.

My computer crashed again. I don't think it is related to the Belkin driver anymore. I will continue to look at other issues.

I chec FCC , i have ver.5 , check all ways and still dont work shame

I had a bit of a problem when trying to install my Belkin Wireless G USB. But I sorted it by going into Device Manager -> Update Drivers -> Manual Install, and then selecting the location as my disc drive. If you use the location shown below on your disc, it should be able to pick the drivers up straight off the disc. Since there seems to be a problem if you install straight off the disc, the files aren't unpack properly, but this method seems to work.




It then gave me an error about not being able to start the device (it was already plugged in) but I just unplugged and replugged it in. And it worked perfectly, so you don't even need to download the drivers, just use the current ones on the disc.
