WiFi adapter stopped functioning in new Windows installation

Hi,

Could anyone help with this problem, please? I have just changed my operating system from 32-bit Windows XP Pro SP3 to 64-bit Windows 7 Professional. Since doing this my WiFi adapter has ceased to function.

It is an Edimax EW-7711In PCI card and I have downloaded new drivers which the Edimax web site says will drive the card in 64-bit Windows. They won't. As the chipset is made by Ralink, I have also downloaded files from their web site for the Ralink3060 chip which don't work either.

The machine is a dual boot machine with Ubuntu as the other operating system and when I boot into Ubuntu I am able to use the card, which shows that it is not damaged and ought to work.

How can I resolve this problem? I have tried installing the software by running it as administrator but that has made no difference. In device manager the card shows up as a grey outline and the message with it says that the driver is not installed. The programs that I have downloaded from the two web sites say that the driver is installed

I would be grateful for any help before I revert back to Windows XP!
