i tried every thing but no luck,i installed Linux Ultimate Edition 2.6.1 and i am now getting 94%

Sounds like a potential driver issue. The new Linux distribution you used could have had more built in (assuming that 94% is something more along the lines of what you were looking for).

thank you i have come back to Windows 7 as the signal dropped down again,i do not think many linux distros will give me a good wifi signal,i am using an D-Link usb wireless to get a better signal,maybe my network card is no good?
