Wireless WiFi catcher.
I have a Dell studio 1737 with Windows Vista and Windows 7. I Formatted the hard drive and dual booted Vista and 7. But ever since then I couldn't find the all the right drivers. But I can't seem to find one for the WiFi catcher. There is a button on the left side of the laptop and when I press it nothing happens. Its for the WiFi catcher.

matthewpearson10001,
Go to Drivers & Downloads enter your service tag number. Under Vista(32-bit or 64-bit) whatever your system is, under applications, download and install Dell QuickSet. It has the WiFi Catcher in it.
In Windows 7, there are only 64-bit driver, if my memory serves me correctly. I used the Vista Dell QuickSet and installed it in the compatibility mode.
Right click on the setup.exe file, left click properties, left click compatibility. Change the compatibility to Vista. Then install the proper drivers.
Do you have any issues with the webcam, fingerprint reader or anything else?

Well the fingerprint reader doesn't seem to work with Windows 7? Will they come out with a driver for Windows 7? Thanks for the help.

matthewpearson10001,
Cannot remember if I installed the software using the disk or download it from Drivers & Downloads under input devices and install it in the compatibility mode.
Right click on the setup.exe file, left click properties, left click compatibility. Change the compatibility to Vista. Then install the proper drivers.
