Acer 9301 Vista graphics driver question.
the long and short is that no matter what I tried, either from the driver update tab and selecting the file for the driver I wanted, or from running set.exe from the driver itself the result was always the same. A message "no compatable hardware for this driver found" and the install and set up wizard would just exit.
So is there a way to "force" a driver on to the system ?
I am sick and tired of being forced to buy a MicroS operating systems. I know on some Vostro there is a Linux configuration but why is it not offered on the latitudes?
It also upsets me the customization step called "operating system" which in reality is just Windows.
I know this is not a new issue but I think in 2010 it's time to stop such racket. I want to be free to choose what software goes on my computer.
I'd like to replace the BIOS of a VOSTRO 1720 laptop, it is the latest A08 but I think it may be somehow corrupt because I'm seeing issues (i.e. not being able to boot from CD neither placing it first in the list with F2 nor by selecting it with F!2... some occasional freezes also)
The problem is that when flashing the BIOS it is not replaced 'cause I get a message that it already is the current one.
Any hints on forcing the replacement of the BIOS even if already the current one?
Have done a clean install of VISTA HP. Keep being prompted to install driver for "Mass storage controller". Device manager shows it with yellow exclamation mark. Windows cannot locate a driver. Looked on the Acer site but unsure what to install for this one.
Device manager just calls it "other device" Acer Aspire 9301awsmi.
I just installed XP Pro on my Acer Extensa 4630Z and I installed all the drivers successfully but the wireless driver. I tried all the drivers from acer's support site [url] none of them work. I also tried what worked for Davoucci with same laptop but this driver also doesn't work for me

I want to stop using my wireless connection on my laptop and plug an ethernet lead in.
But when I plug this lead in my laptop just stays connected to to my wireless network. I tried disabling the Wireless on my computer then putting the lead in but still it wont attempt to connect to the internet with the ethernet lead in. What driver do I need to download so it will recognize the lead is in the laptop and attempt to connect to the internet?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a new Aspire 8935G with Vista 32 preinstalled.
Take audio drivers for example.
Acer update site reports Realtek audio driver version 6.0.1.5847 for my system.
If I switch to Seven 32, it reports 6.0.1.5915.
If I look for Aspire 8940G, Vista 32 (same audio hardware as mine), I see 6.0.1.5918, and, finally, 8940G Seven 32 has 6.0.1.5930.
They are all different from official Realteak drivers: they are at version 2.39 and lacks a control panel element (from Realtek...) that is present in the Acer divers, the one with the desk picture and the speakers around the room.
First question is: does Acer ever update drivers for different system or they just offer the drivers that were present in the retailed system?
Second: how comes the Realtek drivers lack the control panel component?
My Acer 1810T has Windows 7 Home Premium x64 installed and it is using a Microsoft Webcam driver version 6.1.7600.16385 dated 6/21/2006.
On Acer's site, they list 3 Camera drivers for Windows 7 Home Premium x64:
Chicony - 1.1.95.71
liteon - 0.905
Suyin - 5.2.7.1

How I know If my laptop support SATA drive?
i recently installed WinXP on my Acer 5930G (went from vista). i managed to find all the drivers (including the ICH9M SATA ACHI-mode driver) except one called the SM Bus Controller which is showing up in device manager with a little yellow ! symbol. Does anyone know where I can find this driver? the Intel website and their chipset identifier tool seems to be quite useless. The chipset identifier can't identify anything except the I/O controller (82801MB ICH9M SATA AHCI-mode) which was installed from the '32-bit floppy configuration files'
5930G Specs:
C2D P7350
3GB RAM
Geforce 9600M GT
Intel 965 Express (i think)
does anyone know which SM Bus Controller driver i need for XP?
Does anyone happen to find an ati GFX driver from acer that is opencl compatible and works on HD4570 because the 5738G driver doesn't have opencl support
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to play gears of war and need the forceware 163.44 update. This is getting extremely frustrating. When I try downloading them from the Nvidia website or anywhere else it wont install.
I've been browsing through the Acer website to try and find the forceware updates to no avail
where the hell do you download forceware updates for the 5920G or for acers in general?
I have an Acer Aspire 8930g and have a HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW CT10N dvd drive. I ned to update the firmware to current as it is not recognising a lot of new dvd/cd discs nd the firmware i have is dated 2006.
I've been on the ACER support site, that has nothing for the cd/dvd drive.
I did this because I want to play Blu-Ray films AND have a decent selection of 16:9 resolutions - The Nvidia ones (with the modded inf) cause Acer Arcade not to play (gives an error about incorrect driver installed) and the official Acer ones only give you 2 actual 16:9 resolutions. Bear in mind this is mainly for my gaming as not everything will run at 1920x1080 but I don't want to go as low as 1366x768 but it's fixed a wierd problem with my TV where the HDMI 720p output was bigger than the TV screen (which is 720p but doesnt have any over/underscan ability?).
****This should be regarded as a "hack" to the drivers and as such I take no responsibilty for anything that happens if you try this - I am providing the details in case others have the problems above........
It appears that the int15.sys driver was deleted from my computer (running Windows Vista) and now the machine is unable to boot up, even in safe mode. The Acer support folks say my only option is to pay someone to pull the information off of my hard drive, reformat (or recover, as they say), and then move everything back over. This will cost me about $100 and when the computer was only $400 and new two months ago, I don't want to spend more money on this thing.
From what I understand the int.sys driver is used as part of their eRecovery program but is very similar to a spyware or adware file. Therefore, when I was running Webroot's Window Washer program it deleted the driver. It seems like this may be an Acer specific driver and is not on all machines. Does anyone have any other suggestions besides the option Acer game me above?
A couple of ideas I have but would need more help on include:
1) If someone could put this driver on a jump drive or CD, could I tell the computer through command prompts to find the driver?
2) Would a Vista operating system CD be of any help to repair the driver? The support person said that I cannot get an OS CD from Acer, so is there someplace else I could find something like this?
3) I can reset the OS back to factory defaults, so I think the driver is still on there but the master boot record is corrupted. I do not know how to find the drive or update the master boot record.

ive just bought this laptop when i got it the person i bought it from told me sometimes you need to reinstall the graphics driver for it to work alright,the screen went all messed up then back to normal,but when you scroll down the pages on the net it sort of flips over on its self and really slow went moving down the page.so i think i need to reinstall the graphics card driver,problem is how do i do this,i read on here that someone had said its on the recovery disc in the patch/vga folder ,i went to this folder vga but its empty,so any ideas how i can reinstall it,if not has anyone got the driver for this model x1400 512mb please,please,please as ive spend hours reading up and checking the acer web page with no luck,plus whats the best way to look after this model so it keeps running alright like is there any common problems which i should change or look out for
I've just done a clean install of Windows 7 64bit and installed the latest Realtek HD driver (2.42) from their site, selected 5.1 in the sound properties through Windows and Audio Manager but when I playback media the sound is still tinny and only 2.0.
I haven't installed anything else and let Windows find the other drivers for my 9600M GS etc
This is the second time I've installed the OS as facing the same problem before and thought it might have been a corrupt installation or something.
In the GUIDE [Clean Install Guide (works for 32-bit or 64-bit) there is said, that I need to download Intel Chipset Driver/INF Update Utility and Turbo Memory Driver from provided links, but in my manufacturer's page [Acer 8930G] I have Intel_AHCI_v8.5.0.1032 and Intel_Robson_1.6_v1.6.1.1004.
The question is:
- do I install all four of them?
- do I install the first two?
- do I install the second two?
I report on an acer Travelmate 4200 laptop with a 1.8Ghz CPU with 1Gb RAM running Vista Home Basic.
About a week ago discovered that no sound was coming from speakers. Device Manager check reveals problem with the Realtek High Definition Audio. D/L'ed the driver from the acer AU website (v.6.0.1.5334), installed it okay but still no sound.
Could this be a hardware issue or have I missed a step in the software configuration?
So I wanted to try out WinXP, to see the performance difference.
At first, the WinXP setup wasn't able to see the HDD. So I changed the SATA Controller Bios mode to IDE mode. (was AHCI for Vista).
I managed to install so have a dual booted system. However I can't use IDE mode for Vista. (must switch SATA bios each time).
Everything installed fine. Even got 3dMark06 increase of 150 points (not much lol). Oh and CrystalMark of 100K instead of 90K on Vista.
But I'd like to use AHCI mode for WinXP. Saw a link in a WinXP 5930g Guide, however that link was out of date.
The driver was called: "Intel(R) ICH9M M-E Family 4 Port SATA AHCI Controller - 2929 Driver".
5930g, every time I but a dvd or cd in my dvd driver it cant be read by the vista.., I just hear sounds in the driver and got nothing at all!
after I restart for 2 or 3 times it works and the vista does recognize it.., I got really sick of this.., so what should i do.., should I install xp or what.., even if that was the solution I need a dvd rw driver to burn a bootable cd with the sata drives..,
