    Hi, I posted a thread a few days ago about a freezing problem my computer had. Thanks to some advice from someone on this bored, the problem is fixed.

    I re-formmated my computer and re-installed windows. Now I don't know how to re-install my drivers (audio and such...) or re-connect to the internet.

    The laptop is a TravelMAte 7250.

    Can anyone tell me what to do?

    Go to the acer site and download all the drivers there.I have just done my 3050. The easiest way to get back on the net i used a usb wireless dongle then downloaded the wireless drivers first then all the others . It does take time , display, sound, wireless,bluetooth,netmanager,webcam, and any more you remember.

    You can use an ethernet cable to plug your laptop into your router to get a wired connection.

    Just download the drivers on another computer and transfer via USB to the laptop.

    Alright, thanks guys. I got all the drivers now. I can't figure out the internet though... what exactly am I supposed to do?

    EDIT*

    When i try to add it to my houses wireless LAN, it says: "THe wizard cannot create a wireless network, either because the wireless network adapter is not installed or because software for the wireless adapter is not installed"
