Windows - no wireless adapter in Windows via BootCamp

I just got a Macbook Pro. I recently installed boot camp using a Windows Home Premium copy I had previously installed. (It's uninstalled, and worked on Boot Camp.) When I log onto the boot camp drive Every thing works fine. But it says I don't have a wireless adapter, it is an older theme, and when I go to update I need Wi-fi, so it's kind of a catch 22. A little help!?!

Was it used? If so, you'll want to ask the seller for the System Discs. Not only do they contain the Mac OS X Operating System, but also drivers for Windows, the iLife suite and special diagnostics.

No. Just boot into Windows, then insert the Snow Leopard disk. The driver installation will take place and you should be good to go.

Cheers

Every thing is working fine, well almost. You see I did the update, but I went to install Fallout 3. It said something was wrong with the D drive and to check my event log. But I believe I should just uninstall boot camp. At the bottom of the system screen it said that I had: "30 day(s) to register". Does this mean it is no identified as a valid copy?

That 30 day warning means you need to activate Windows. Here is a Microsoft KB article about how to activate Windows Vista.
