yet another wireless vista question

I have an Averatec 6240, with an internal Ralink wireless adapter. (Why? Good Question... :P)
I did an upgrade to Vista x486 from XP, and had many other problems, but internet connectivity and networking was not one of them. I knew this was likely driver and software related.
Sick of problems - so I did a clean install, this time with the x64 version, build 5384 (The 6240 has a AMD64). Looks and runs great thus far, except the following...
Now, after downloading the 64bit bersion of the wireless driver from http://www.ralink.com.tw/supp-1.htm and reinstalling to support the card - nothing happens. No connectivity, and no card or network detected. The driver supports Win9x/2K/XP/x64. I know it does not say Vista....
Thoughts? Short of ending the grand experiment?
