    i have an old laptop that i upgraded from XP to windows 7, but my wireless is not working due to windows 7 driver issue.
    the only wireless driver working is for vista or XP.
    any idea how to load vista over windows 7?
    Thanks

    Clean install is the only way forward in this situation.

    You can dual-boot Windows Vista and Windows 7.

    The OP started a while ago, but I have yet to see a machine where Win 7 didn't have working wifi drivers. What is the make and model of the computer? Is the wifi device known?
