    Hello again

    I was able to install Windows XP and I installed all the drivers.

    But there is just one problem, I cant seem to get the graphic driver to work.

    Since there is no offical drivers for XP please dont say "Go to acer.com"

    It tried drivers from this place:
    http://komku.blogspot.com/2008/07/acer-aspire-6920g-windows-xp-and-vista.html

    I installed them but it did not work. The drivers were installed but the graphics are still not working.

    In the device manager there is a "Video Controller (VGA Compatible)" device with a question sign.

    Thanks for the help

    Dumpen, just go to the source of your graphics card for XP drivers. Nvidia.com if you've got a GeForce, Intel.com if you've got a GMA.
    (not sure if ATi's finally offering drivers)

    Honestly, that should've been the second place you looked. If the notebook manufacturer doesn't have drivers, the equipment manufacturer should.

    (You might lose brightness control under Nvidia's latest driver, 195.62, if the XP drivers are like the Vista/7 ones. If you do, get 186.81 from Nvidia instead.)
