| 779219 | 2009-06-03 01:25:00 | Have just replaced the hard drive & reinstalled the OS (Vista) on a Acer Aspire 5720 Managed to extract the chip & vidio drivers from the old hard drive as there are none on the acer site. Only drivers on the site are Audio, Bluetooth & Camera. Have done the Audio & Camera. Bluetooth won't install, says there is no device to support. On reboot system still wants to install drivers for Acer Modual, Network Controller & Unknown. These items are flagged on the device manager. If I let update search for drivers it come up with a CIR & a Card Reader. Also the hot keys are not active. |

| 779220 | 2009-06-03 01:32:00 | is the Old system still operational ?? if so download Drivermax (www.innovative-sol.com) install it ( its got a 30 day free trial) run it on the old system, select Driver Operations -- Export Drivers -- Save the file to a removable source, load up the new install, copy the saved folder with all the original drivers, then either install driver max -import drivers - select the ones you want - or from device manager, navigate to the folder and install from there. Note: you can do all original drivers if you want - as long as you're sure they are not damaged. Edited: had to do this yesterday on an old IBM I couldn't locate all the drivers for. |

| 779221 | 2009-06-03 02:02:00 | No the old HD died, took me ages to to get the files off that I did. Anything bigger than about 3mb it would just lock up. Managed to get down to just the Acer modual now, whatever that is. |

| 779222 | 2009-06-03 02:17:00 | Dont know if This here (www.acerpanam.com) will help or not, select the model, it brings up a PDF with links to drivers concerning the model - some I didn't even know existed :D | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 779223 | 2009-06-03 03:25:00 | Certainly does help. Wish I'd had that yesterday. The Acer modual turned out to be Blue Tooth. The only driver I can't find is for the Hotkeys. I'll try some of the other chip drivers, it might be incorperated. |

| 779224 | 2009-06-03 03:36:00 | Looks like the Hotkeys are on page 5 of the PDF - Launch manager | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 779225 | 2009-06-03 03:58:00 | If you install the chipset drivers, the blue tooth modules may then be visable to the motherboard and in turn the system o/s. Which may already have a driver for it....The only driver for bluetooth I have had to install (Wacom) had the driver in the o/s | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 779226 | 2009-06-03 04:28:00 | Looks like the Hotkeys are on page 5 of the PDF - Launch manager Hey thats the one, I looked at that & thought it was part of the Acer bloatware you don't really wont. |
