    Hi fellow gurus,

    I owned a acer 6920g and i just installed windows 7 ultimate 64bit. I was just wondering how to get all the drivers to install? Do i install vista 64bit driver or 6930g model driver? Im lost.

    I dont know where to get the drivers. I want my 6920g to work like it use to be.

    Please help!!

    Vista drivers will work more or less perfectly on 7. Just get them from Acer's official download page (link's in the sticky here on the forums)
    The 6930G drivers will not work with all your hardware.

    You can install whatever driver as long as it fits your laptop model.
    It doesn't matter where you download it. This is the global acer download site(ops didn't see tehsuigi posted), http://gd.panam.acer.com/home/
    All Vista Drivers basically works on Windows 7. You don't have to worry.
    Make sure 64bit software/driver for 64bit OS(vista/7) and 32bit software/driver for 32bit OS(vista/7).
    As for the Realtek and Nvidia Drivers, download them respectively from Realtek website and Nvidia Website for being fully updated and windows 7 supported.

    It is weird how Acer didn't add Aspire 6920G windows7 driver considering they did for other older models.

    They even didn't provide the fix for the throttle problem.
    So, I think they won't give a damn of Windows 7 for AS6920G. I guess they know AS6920G have the throttle problem, probably. But, they don't want to be complained and recollect all the buggy AS6920G because it takes money and time. To fully avoid the complain, so, they decided to fade-off the topic(provides lesser and lesser support). This is just my wild guess. XD
