    Hi,

    I have wiped out Vista from this machine and installed XP Professional. All have been installed fine except Wireless and Display drivers. I got wireless driver from gateway and it worked great.

    I have done every thing as outlined in different threads on this forum and all other resources including acer north america and europe sites to install display driver but i still keep on getting the "set up did not find a driver compatible with your hardware or operating system" error.

    The display driver specified on the sticker is 896 MB ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 Hyper Memory.

    I am able to install the "SMBUS v.5.10.1000.6" from acer europe site without any problem.

    I have upgraded the BIOS also to v1.18 from v1.17.

    All the rest of the drivers i am able to install from the Vista Application and Driver back up DVD including the webcam that i created before taking out vista.

    This machine is AMD Athelon 64X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-57.

    Any help will be greatlly appreciated.

    Thanks

    And it didn't install successfully? What happens when you try to install?
