acer aspire 5332 wifi driver

Hi,

I recently reset my acer aspire 5332 from vista to xp however now i cannot get a driver to power my wifi adaptor is there away of getting around this?

cheers in advance

 

Hi my friend , you can follow this

Start - Run type this mmc devmgmt.msc - Ok - right click to yellow device - Properties - Details - scroll down the arrow finding Hardware ids - there is a code in the box , we need it ( select all - copy - paste ) the code here :wave

 

I have network controller in there but not a wireless one?

Here is the yellow network controller id

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002A&SUBSYS_E01F105B&REV_01\4&318470AD&0&00E1

Thanks again

 

You can try this one

following the instructions

Installation Instructions
1. Download the file by clicking the "Download" or "Obtain Software" button and saving the file to a folder on your hard drive (make a note of the folder where the downloaded file is saved).

2. Double-click the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions

to install the driver , you must reboot your machine after installation is completed :wave

 

Hi,

I installed and then rebooted my laptop and it says duplicate name exists on network

and the yellow exclamation mark is still there and no wifi available?

Cheers

 

You can try this :wave

 

Did i tell you that the 'network controller' in 'device manager' has a yellow exclamtion mark by it, would i need to have this installed before the wifi would work or would the driver you sent me bypass needing this?

cheers for your help

 

You have to install one by one :wave

 

I understand that, but obviously there isn't one for XP, and I've installed the one you told me to install that other driver. Do I need to install others from the hp website.

 

Also you can follow instruction by second message :wave
