I wonder if anybody could help here. My problem is that I lost my wireless
connection when upgrading from XP Media Center to Vista Home Premium and now
I get the message "Download and install the driver for RT73 USB Wireless LAN
Card" every time I start my PC, but I can't find this driver anywhere and I
don't
have any CD as my Medion Media Center PC came with the XP Media Center
preinstalled. Can anyone help me with a driver or where to fin one? Thanks in
advance.

Kind regards

Unfortunately, many drivers for wireless are ONLY available on
Windows Update for Vista. This means that you have to have a wired
connection, establish connectivity to the Internet with the wireless
NIC in the machine (and turned on, if applicable). Sometimes the
driver is immediately offered automatically, sometimes you need to
run update driver from device manager.

Please report back if you are able to install it this way

Thanks very much. Unfortunately the downloadlink on the site you suggested
doesn't work. Do you eventually have any other suggestions?

Kind regards

Hi Barb,
I've also tried the download link brink suggested, but as you can see, that
doesn't work either, so it seems to be a big problem to find anything.

Kind regards

Thanks very much Shawn, but this was the download link, that Brink also
suggested and it also seems to be a dead link. Just to be sure I've also
tried the download links suggested from another machine running XP but still
they are totally dead.
