Acer XP Drivers (for Vista-only Models?)

Post deleted

 

Good looking out These very well could be XP drivers for those models. Inorder to know for sure if the drivers are working and stable someone with one of the listed notebooks will need to try them. The date posted on the drivers is very recent(august) which means acer must be trying to get XP drivers together.

These drivers could potentially help out users who want to use XP on those models instead of vista...

 

I tried to download and archive in case it gets taken down, but its taking a lot longer than usual. Hopefully those with those laptops will see this thread and rejoice.

 

Just how can a WLAN driver be so large? 186MB? Are you sure there is nothing fishy about that FTP site?

 

i can confirm the 5920g drivers work, dont install the web cam driver though, it causes the windows shutdown lock up. Ie when you hit restart or shutdown the machine just stops at the windows shutting down screen

 

with which driver , did you install the USB ports ?? beacuse i installed all the drivers properly and when i go to see what operates and what no , it shows me that notebook has not recognised the USB ports and now i cannot use them!!!

 

Try chipset and intel AHCI first.

i believe the usb driver is in there.

 

Hi Guys I have downloaded all XP Drivers of 5920G from Acer's FTP site. But, I dont know which driver is for which hardware. Which is the driver for the following hardware?
SATA HDD
Web Cam
Touch Pad
Programmable Keys
Touch Sensitive Keys
USB
I've read one of the post of this thread saying that the webcam driver from ACER's FTP site does not work or has some bugs. If so, does this mean that I cant use my webcam in XP (bad since I wanted to use my webcam for teleconferencing)? Are there any drivers for the 5920G webcam in XP?

Thank you in advance guys

 

can anyone access the site? i cant seem to access it...

 

Hello

I have already downloaded all the XP drivers of the 5920G but I dont know which drivers are for which hardware. Help needed

 

Hi

I'm new to this thread. I did find it very usefull. Finally got xp loaded onto the Acer Aspire 5920G. 1 thing though: I know from reading the threads that the webcam won't work as it shutsdown the laptop when you use it and the turbo memory isn't supported by xp. After installing all the drivers from the acer ftp site i am still left with one unknown device that only says pci device. Any idea's on what it could possibly be.

 

im still trying to find the SATA driver for my aspire 3050 so i could install win xp

i dont see it there though

 

dude what sata chipset do you have?

I had to download the vista sata driver unzip it on vista so i could get the "filename".oem, put the unzipped drivers on a stiffy disk, plug in a usb stiffy drive and hit f6 at the xp install startup when it prompted. I had the aspire 5920g so that used the ich8 sata drivers. you may have to play around with the sata drivers when you loading up.

do you know the make and model of your sata controller? that would help find the sata driver.

 

omg Hanuman, thats sounds like a nightmare

im not sure the what the sata chipset is, ill have to check it out when i get home from work.
all i know from hee is the model name of the computer:
aspire 3050-1092 (1.8 sempron, 14" screen)

 

ok,
well i checked for the device/harddrive and it is a:

st980811as ata

googling that it sais its a seagate

gogling "st980811as ata driver"

brings me to (first hit) a link to this very website! and no replies after someone else seems to have the same issue.

 

I got an Aspire 7520G and I had the same driver problem for XP.
I found the FTP link randomly on the web and used all the drivers in there (and of course ditched Vista ).

Everything works fine!

 

I have problem, please can you help me!
I bought Acer Aspire 5920G and i instaled windows XP Pro SP2.
I have downloaded drivers for XP (from ftp). Everything is fine but I can't RESTART or SHUTDOWN laptop. On Vista It works. shoutdown problem acured when I instalated drivers.
The
Shutdown works only if I keep presed Shoutdown button for 10sec.

any ideas?


sorry for my english

 

try to uninstall webcam driver

 

Ok to everyone with ACER 5920G what sata HDD driver you use to install windows XP ?

 

yes 5920G can you sata driver

i confirm because i'm using right now

 

Because it looks like i wasn't very clear from here ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/noteboo...ot_authorized/
what driver you use for sata hdd ?

 

thx mate.
I can now turn off my laptop normaly.

 

I unzipped the sata drivers on vista. Copied that whole folder to stiffy, rebooted with xp disk in dvd rom and hit f6. When it runs through it's checks and asks for sata driver choose the 2nd option from the list. The Acer aspire 5920G uses the ICH8/R sata chipset

 

I can't access ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/aspire_xp_not_authorized/. Is there anyone who are able to zip and upload the aspire_5920 directory somehere for me to download?

Thanks in advance!

 

tronderik that link works just fine for me.

Anyway here is the direct link to the XP 5920 drivers
ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/aspire_xp_not_authorized/aspire_5920

 

I have tried with both my brower and ftp program and I can't connect. Might have something to do with me sitting in the US on a crappy DSL

 

Guys I have downloaded xp drivers of aspire 5920G from the FTP site of Acer but I dont know which file is the sata driver. Can you tell me which file is the driver. How do you install xp in sata? Been reading a lot of tutorials bout installing xp in sata but they are all mixed up. Do you have to use nlite to make custom os discs or just intall the xp directly and install the driver after? GUys help me I want to run xp in my Acer Aspire 5920G. Vista is taking all of my computer's resources.

 

Guys, I have successfully installed XP Pro SP1 i my Aspire 5920G laptop but unfortunately my laptop hangs up each time I try to access my webcam (using either bison or suyin drivers). What should I do so that my webcam works in xp

 

You can slipstream the intel AHCI SATA driver on the XP CD.

http://driverpacks.net/DriverPacks/
Download the DriverPack Base app. You will use it to slipstream the MassStorage Driverspack to XP.

Don't install the webcam or you'll have problems restarting/shutting down your notebook. It works fine with the standard XP driver.

 

Hello Incursus,

I am looking for the XP drivers for the Acer Aspire 7520 model.
I have read somewhere on the internet that these where the official drivers for these machines but because Acer sells them with Vista they do not want to distribute these XP drivers.
Did you had the possibility to download them ?
Can you put them somewhere I (and others) can download them ?

Regards,
Yves

 

I tried to be smart and wrote an answer to Yves to just folow link from OP.
Fortunatelly I checked FTP and to my surprise directory with XP drivers is empty (5920 also missing from list).

Anyone knows whats going on?

b.

Help please!

 

Hello mates

I wanna install windows XP on my Acer 5920G too.. but I have the same problem about accesing the site. It shows no files into the directory. So I would like to propose that, could someone of you that you have already downloaded the drivers, create a *.rar or *.torrent file and link it to us ? It seems that I am not the only one with that problem

Thanx a lot

 

Hi...

Links from past posts are dead, or there is no 5920G can somebody post links for that drivers or at least for 8600m gt, i can't find any which work... sorry on my bad english.

 

my in Russia.
problem install windows xp in acer 4315.
vista install no problem.??

 

I too have a problem with 7500. I manage ti find some drivers, but I can't find drivers for graphic (nvida 7000m), lan card and bus drivers. Help pleaseeeeee!

Oh, yes, tray this link for some drivers:
http://www.acerpanam.com/synapse/forms/AcerDrivers/Aspire%207520.pdf

 

Definately seems that acer have removed drivers from the ftp. managed to get wireless from intel and a 8600m gs video driver. If anybody has the set required is there a way you could make them into a torrent and let us all know. Getting frustrating!!

Cheers

 

can anyone who downloaded the xp drivers upload them ?!
please i need to put xp to work on autocad 2006

 

I download all drivers from the link I post yesterday and they all working fine.

Thanx

There use to be drivers for Acer Aspire 4720 but due to the Wireless & Bluetooth file sizes, I thought I could download them at a later date. Later only I found all drivers were taken down. Man .. this sux. So I downloaded drivers from Aspire 4710 and they work like a charm lol.. Now what's missing is the Acer Empowering software. Has anyone Acer Arcade for model 4720? Appreciate your help very much. thank you.

 

You can download Xp drivers for Acer notebooks from here: http://www.acer.com.my/service/drivers/download.aspx?dev=&c2=service_left

 

yeah the ftp link is redundant, this one seems to be the only official place to get xp drivers (for my sister's Aspire 5920G).

http://www.acer.com.my/service/drivers/download.aspx?c2=service_left

Downloading pretty slow tho!
