OS Vista on my Aspire 5520 had many files damaged as well as the recovery disc. I couldn't find my original disk so I decided to install Win XP Pro I had my original disc of one of my other computer that got fried. Installation goes very smoth but, when finished, I checked the Device Manager and fould 8 element listed under other devices.

2 base system device

Coprocessor

2 Ethernet controllers

PCI device

SM Bus controller

Video controller VGA compatible

Impossible of course to access the Internet with the Aspire. I have another computer I could download the need for pilots to a Flash drive, if I could find where to get them. This problem is I woke up on 5 different projects I need to finish by Friday.  A working Solution would be greatly appreciated. First time having this problem in more than 40 years because I always make backups of everything but this one I can't find work on computers.

Thanks in advance

  • Problem with Fn + F6 to stop showing on Acer Aspire 5520

    Hi, I have an Acer Aspire 5520-5163 (I also have an Acer Aod150). I had Windows XP and now have Windows 7 on both. Since coming to Windows 7, I lost the use of the function Fn + F6 to turn off the screen. I installed several programs of Launch Manager and it didn't work. Also when I changed the NVIDIA drivers I momentarily recovered the use of this but now she again. I searched the web and found nothing. Really, I've used this in the past six years, I had this PC. On another Acer, it works fine. I don't know if it's the video drivers (if I uninstall install Windows as they once again immediately) or what may be the problem, but I would appreciate any help really. Or another way to turn on/off the screen by a combination of keys. I used the program turn off LCD but I want something that can be turning on and off with the key combination. If it's Fn + F6 better.

    Kind regards

    Fernando

    Hi, sorry it took me so long to answer. The link you provided was for a 64-bit operating system and mine was 32-bit (which I think that I have not mentioned). It seems that the problem was some malware or something because yesterday, Microsoft Security Essentials detected some Hack and after its removal, I can say with joy that I can reuse Fn + F6! Thanks anyway

  • Acer Aspire One model ZA3 (WIN XP) needs updated drivers

    I'm still enjoying my Acer Aspire One manufactured in 2009 running Windows XP Edition family, but am running into the faults caused by ancient drivers.

    A single analysis indicates that I need a driver updated GlobeTrotter MO40X but where and which?

    Acer computers can update their own drivers somehow?

    Thanks to anyone who can help me

    Where can I get information on the model ZA3?

    It's actually an Aspire One AO751h.  The drivers are available on the page drivers.

    I don't know what you are "scanning", but the "GlobeTrotter" MO40X is not a driver for an Acer system package.

    All the available drivers are on our page drivers.

  • My Lexmark pro901 is not compatible with aspire which has windows 8 how update drivers

    My first Lexmark pro 901 is not compatible with my acer aspire comes with windows 8

    My first Lexmark pro 901 is not compatible with my acer aspire comes with windows 8

    All devices (and software) is supported by the product to the manufacturer for questions.
     
    In the case of your query: Lexmark.
     
    I assume you mean, specifically, you have the ( Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901<-- that="" is="" a="" link="" to="" the="" support="" web="" page="" for="" that="" particular="" device="" from="" the="" manufacturer="" -="" lexmark="" -="" that="" you="" can="" click="">
     
    What I suggest to try, as Lexmark does not seem to support this product directly under Windows 8, is to try first using Windows Update during the installation of the printer such as suggested by Lexmark.
     
    If this fails, try to simply download and install the latest drivers for any architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) Windows (in compatibility mode), you have no matter what Windows it says that it is for (probably Windows 7).

  • New/updated nine HP Desktop Win 7 Pro - need help or advice

    Hello...

    Honestly, I do this for a dear friend and I would like to keep it this way!  Its xp fell under the "ms tech phone call" scam, and while I don't know if it'll never work, once again, she bought the following:

    HP Compaq 6000 Pro Small Form Factor (tour info)

    System - Dell: Intel Core 2Duo E7500 2.93: 4gm memory ram: 64-bit (info via prop comp)

    This is a refurbished pc.  I activate with the product key provided.  Set a restore point; installed hp photosmart more printer via the cd and google Canary worm 52.0.2715.0; There is a Mediatek RT2870 LAN card 12/04/16 1.5.38.101 WiFi adapter

    Windows Defender > used 3 hours "search for updates" after I downloaded from ms site, definitions, I think. From my own experience some years back I remember (with great pain) this problem.

    Wanting a good place to start "solid":

    • uninstalled MS security essentials
    • windows update is the KB976902 11/20/2010
    • directly ran here!

    My Question: What do I do then?  Download all updates for win 7, I guess and then Defender.  I'm sure she'll switch to windows 10 to 99%, so I should make a bee line it?  Given that I'll be 'teaching' his 10 windows and it comes from xp I thought it would be easier to dip in the first 7...

    My excuse for the length, it's my first post to the community after years of reading others.   Instead of recent viruses, including my edge get hi-jacked little time after my upgrade to win 10, I want to continue with the installation in the "right direction."

    Thank you very much!

    Hi Emma,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, it seems that you have properly installed Windows 7 on your computer, but facing problem in the installation of updates. Correct me if I'm wrong. This problem may occur if one or more of the following conditions are met:

    1. The Windows Update database is damaged.
    2. Antivirus software is configured to scan the folder % Windir%\SoftwareDistribution.
    3. Service (BITS) Background Intelligent Transfer Service does not receive a content link header.
    4. A required system file is incorrectly registered.

    If it helps, try the methods and check them off below.

    Method 1

    If I'm wrong, you tried not Troubleshooting Windows Update below to solve your problem and if this isn't the same link, then try to run the troubleshooter.

  • Acer Aspire Switch 10 (SW5-011-18R3) missing drivers after win 10 reinstall

    If there was a problem in that I had to completely reinstall the operating system on a switch sucks. I installed a new copy of windows (via usb) 10 at the end missed me drivers for several pieces of equipment, by checking the section support pilot gives no useful result.

    of course, his way out of warranty, backup media was not created, etc. (it was a 2 in 1 that belong to a parent) anyway, I need to just be able to get the drivers that miss me like one of those who did not install the audio drivers for the speakers integrated. In addition the built-in mic is not save, and isn't the light sensor. However eight different devices are coming up with 'Unknown device' and the PCI encryption/decryption controller also pointed out that the drivers are not installed.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • Acer Aspire E15 hangs up during windows updates

    This is a brand new computer and whenever it tries to install windows updates, it crashes.  He says only: "installation of update 1 of 4, keep your pc.  It has been hours.  This is the 3rd time this has happened.  In order to use my computer again once I just turn it off and turn it back on.  When I do that sometimes it will say "working on updates, get 30% and restarts."  Other times, he doesn't say anything and starts normally.  I thought maybe it was my security software that prevents windows update so I disabled it, but this doesn't seem to be the problem.  I'm so frustrated that I'm about to the area it upward, and then send it back.  I don't even have that he paid for yet and already the problems.

    When you wrote "security software" you mean anti-virus?

    If not, please disable any antivirus and try again to update, if it still crashes, I would re - install the operating system using ALT + F10 at startup and subsequently on the instructions on the screen.

    If it hangs still, even after a BONE re - install, call your dealer or support from Acer for warranty check service.

  • need updated drivers Intel, motherboard, Dram and other

    First stop, I'm a big 75 years old grandfather with an observation of something that HP does not provide. But should!

    My wife and I bought of many HP laptops, desktops, tablets, etc. over the years. Right now, my concern applies to the Touchsmart from HP Envy 23se-d394. My wife has one and I also. We have all two laptops HP, etc, etc.

    Now, a driver update programs tells me that I need 14 software updates for Intel, motherboard, etc that I listed above. They want me to pay 40 dollars for the software update program.

    My question is why HP isn't a such FREE update program for us to use. We have spent countless dollars for HP products. So in my opinion, they should have a program update for us to use for FREE! Right?

    Your contribution will be appreciated. Thank you.

    I suspect that the 'pilot program update' who wants $40 is not at HP, because as you said, HP should and provides necessary free updates.  This is the page for this PC drivers.

    IMO updates driver update should not be attempted unless you have a specific problem that you know or suspect will be fixed by a driver update, i.e. follow the maxim "don't"fix"something that is not broken".

    What makes you want to update the drivers?
