Intel(R) Pro/Wireless 2200BG compatibility / use with Windows 7
Help please.
Using: Dell Inspiron 9300 using 32 bit Vista Ultimate.
I have very little understanding of computers but I want to upgrade to Windows 7 because of the problems I am having with Vista. However, the Intel(R) Pro/Wireless 2200BG thingy is reported by the Windows 7 compatibility checker as needing a different driver. As far as I can see Intel no longer support the Intel(R) Pro/Wireless 2200BG or provide a driver that suits Windows 7, so how do I get past this problem. Can anyone help with a solution please. If you can I would appreciate it in simply terms.

Dorset Diver,
Usually when upgrading your computer to Windows 7, you need to...
