    Hi, Everyone

    I recently purchased a Aspire 3680 and it has built in wireless. The question is at a later date when my laptop becomes slow and the time comes to re-install the OS. I was wondering where can I get the software or how do I backup the drivers for the built in wireless?

    The other question is, the OS that originally came with the laptop is Vista Basic, if i wanted to install Windows XP, will that work and if it does work how do i backup/download the drivers/software for the built in wireless?

    -Jack
