    Hi, i have installed windows xp in my 5920g and now i want to install vista on 2nd partition but i don't know which of all those drivers to download. If someone knows please post the drivers i have to download. And one more question what's the use of mobility center, launch manager and gridvista programs.

    You need launch manager to enable the volume button and the buttons on the left (internet, email, bluetooth). Also, if you go into your xp setup and find out the name of the devices, then you should be able to get the drivers you need. Can't tell you exactly what drivers you need as there are different variations of the 5920g with different devices.

    The mobility center and gridvista, can't say i use them or still have them on my system. Most of the software that acer provide is bloatware. You can find programs within vista to do the same thing.

    I've downloaded the drivers from the FTP site but i don't know what those drivers are --> LaunchManager_Dritek & Robson_Intel.
    Do i have to install the SATA drivers? I want to dualboot XP (on IDE)-Vista and i'm afraid if something goes wrong and i can't login to XP again.

    Thanks for the replies.
