You need to look down the page for your particular adapter model and then look across the columns to find your windows version.
Now click on the blue tick mark in the column under your windows version.
This will open another page for that particular adapter and that windows version.
Now click on the download button labelled " Click to Download " and wait, the file will download - you do not need to click on any other buttons to get the download started
you could try running UBUNTU from a CD or DVD (depending on version of UBUNTU) and see if it works on another software
------------------------------------------------------------------------
UBUNTU Stand Alone CD
Note the latest version of UBUNTU needs a DVD to use and boot from
if you only have CDs then you can use an older version, version 10 or 11 from this archive list
http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
It may be possible to see if the wireless adapter works using ubuntu - which would indicate if a hardware or software issue
If you have another PC with a cdwriter and spare CD
goto http://www.ubuntu.com/ and download the ISO http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
You can also run from a USB device now - if the Machine supports booting off a USB Stick
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
full details are here (Note this is for version 9 - so the start up options are slightly different )

click on the image "download ubuntu"
Select a location
then begin download
Save the file onto your PC – remember where you saved it – so you can find it again to create the image bootable CD.
You do NOT copy the ISO file onto a CD - you have to use the ISO to create a bootable CD
The CD creator software you have on the PC may have an option to create an image from an ISO
If not - use this free program http://www.imgburn.com/ - Choose the option Write image file to disc
OR
you can use this stand alone ISO Burner to burn the ubuntu onto CD ftp://terabyteunlimited.com/burncdcc.zip
When the UBUNTU CD boots - you will see a screen - with Language on the left panel and two option images labelled
== > Try ubuntu
== > Install ubuntu
You can try Ubuntu without making any changes to your computer, directly from this CD
Use "Try ubunto" ONLY. This option will run from the CD and not install onto your harddrive - be careful, if you do install onto the PC - you will wipe the data and software OFF your hard drive.., so repeat, only use option 1
Now you should see a UBUNTU desktop
NOTE: if you only see a black screen - then this is a known issue, and can be resolved by using the following:-
[quote]On some hardware configurations, you need to set some kernel parameters for ubuntu to boot or work properly. A common one is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot in to a black screen or corrupted splash, acpi_osi= to fix lcd backlight and other problems.

If you press the F6 key, a menu at the bottom will open allowing you to set kernel options with the space bar or enter key. You can close the menu with escape key and resume booting by selecting the option “try ubuntu without installing” (please note that session does allow you to install ubuntu once you found the kernel options cured your problem).[quote]
If everything worked OK and you should be on the ubuntu desktop
see if the wireless adapter now works
