Hello and welcome,
That is very strange.
I'm curious: why are you installing and running in compatibility mode? Why not just run in AHCI mode. You can enable the correct driver without reinstalling.

First: Thank you
Second:
The reason that make me SATA Mode to Compatible : When SATA Mode set to AHCI and I Partation my HDD by Windows 7 DVD I Found Strange Partation ** Unallocated Partition with 0 MB BEFORE Every partition** , and i didn't know what is it so I Changed it to Compatible.
Do You Know anything about this unallocated partitions ... IS It USEFUL OR What ????
Third:
When I run on Windows Xp
My Dedicated VGA Memory is ** 256 MB ** , But On Windows 7 My Dedicated VGA is ** 64 MB **
I Don't NO WHY ???????
Thank You Again

Sorry, I can't answer any of those questions ![]()
If you change to AHCI mode - as in that link I posted - do you still see the weird partitions?

No I don't see it cause i partitioned my HDD in Compatible Mode
And after using your tool everything BE OK (Wireless Work Good) ![]()
But I Now Ask About VGA Card
On Windows XP it's Dedicated Memory 256 MB
But, On Windows 7 it's Dedicated Memory 64 MB Abd Share1238 Then Total Be 1302 MB
And Although this The Same Games ( Like Pro 2012 ) Run On Windows Xp in High Resolution But On Windows 7 don't RUN !!!! (I know Why becauce it need Dedicated More Equa Or More Than 256 MB )
I Ask About The Defferance Between Dedicated Memory On XP & 7
