I did check in the device manager uder network adapters and it only showed my ethernet device. Help. i did tried installing windows 7 on the same model but its the black color. everything seems fine. When i work on the blue one, the WiFi doesn't seem to work.

Benq do not appear to have developed a driver yet for either vista or win 7 re: your hardware. You may still be able to access in Win XP mode under Win 7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows7/products/features/windows-xp-mode

You have lost the drivers for the wifi adapter. You need to go to the makers website and download the drivers for Win7. It is possible that the maker has not provided drivers for win7 and will never do so. Then you really need to go back to winXP. Finally, if drivers are not available you will be able to buy a new USB wifi adapter that supports win7 and forget about the adapter built into the notebook.
