Internet card not working?

I have Windows 7 installed on 1 hard drive and Ubuntu 13.04 installed on another, Ubuntu intergrates perfectly with my Network card (TP-LINK tl-wn781ND) but when i boot into Windows it does not work? I have to use a simple netgear USB wifi adapter to get the internet running but it stalls and cancels all my downloads (annoying since i can't Download Steam on W7 but can on Ubuntu) Any ideas?

Have you checked the network interface card's driver?

Would you be able to put that into Layman terms?
Also on Win7 i did not install the CD Driver because i couldn't find the disc, it has dissapeared( this is what i came up with) however on Ubuntu it works fine without the driver installed. Is this because Ubuntu has its own set of Drivers preinstalled? and if so is there a way of locating the driver and burning it to a disc to use in Win7? simply because its almost impossible to download anything.

What is the make/model of NIC/network interface card please ? Generally win 7 supplies the needed drivers, but it's not in your case.

On the box it says the make is TP LINK and then gives the Model as TP-LINK tl-wn781ND.

Ok, here is a link for the driver. I know it's hard for you to download anything, but try it, or try friends/work/family/café. It's a small file.

I'll download this on Ubuntu and put it on a flashdrive and transfer it over, thanks now the only problem i have is finding a flash drive, i used to have 6 in a drawer but they've all gone missing...

Hi, you won't need a pendrive to transfer. Just download the file in a folder of Ubuntu(not desktop). Load up with win 7, go to my computer, you will find all the partitions there, locate and copy the file from there and paste to win 7 folder. Install it. That's it.
