    you need to download the modded .inf file and copy and paste to the driver folder it will then let you install the driver

    which driver exactly?

    If you're talking about the graphic driver then you can get the modded INF from laptopvideo2go.com.

    he's asking where he can find the modded INF file, Patrick. that is also of interest tome cause the driver for this notebook hasn't been updated since June :eek: I can only imagine the performance increases we'd get if we put on a newer driver!!! :D

    Install launch manager (check out lithus' link). Scroll through the list of drivers and you should find the ones for webcam/mic.

    just on the fly that perhaps it would work, Eric...have you tried Windows Update to see if it detects any hardware drivers?

    Yes, this happened to me too when I did a fresh Vista install.

    When you install the webcam drivers it won't install the acer crystal eye program.

    Check the webcam in another program, like webcammax, skype, or msn messenger.

    I found that mine worked, but the Acer program was never installed.

    As for the touchpad buttons, that is a whole different story, I've tried every driver combination possible and only my play button does something... it opens up a list of cd drives. Good luck with that.
