Win 7 drivers

I'm havig some trouble connecting win7 to my network. I use a Belkin f5d8053 wirless N usb adapter. Windows recognises the device name, but doesn't load any drivers. I have downloaded the latest drivers from the Belkin website, but these load under program files(x86) in a folder called XP2K. The website says thay are vista compatible, but the device still doesn't work. I am running 64 bit windows 7.
Does anyone know if I can get drivers for this, or can you suggest another adapter or pci card that will work.

are they 64bit drivers?

get the right 'version' for your dongle, belkin are stupid and make multiple versions that have conflicting drivers

the version will be on the sticker somewhere

The version is 3011ed, I downloaded the 3xxx version which says vista 64, but it doesn't load any drivers.

just checked on the windows 64 bit compatability list and the product is there, but the link just takes you to the main belkin support page, not the required driver.
