Hi

 

The wireless network adapter D-Link DWL-520 is not compatible with Windows 7 operating system. You can refer to this link for more option: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=D-Link%20DWL-520%202.4GHz%20802.11b%20PCI%20Wireless%20Network%20Adapter&v=D-Link&uid=DWL-520&l=en-US&pf=0&pi=0&s=DWL-520%20&os=64-bit

 

Since it was working with Windows Vista you can try to use the hardware in Vista compatibility mode: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows
