Right click my computer - properties - device manager

Disable the wired adaptor here. If the wireless adaptor isn't listed
then re-install it. Once installed it should appear in the list next
to the disabled wired adaptor. If it hasn't installed correctly it
might appear in the wrong place in the device list as a pci ethernet
controller. If you see something listed like that then delete it and
reboot. On restart you should be asked for the driver disk which came
with the network card.
