    Hey guys,

    I just went from Vista Home Premium to XP on my Aspire 5100.

    In device manager it saying question mark (driver hasnt been found) for PCI FLASH Memory and Network Controller.

    I have tried all the drivers on the Acer website.

    Any ideas or answers?

    Hi there,

    Downgrading to XP on a laptop that ships with Vista is generally not a recommended thing to do. Some 3rd party drivers, etc, will not install properly.

    I've sent you a note about this to help you out, do read it and let me know how it goes, thanks.
