    Does anyone know what the correct driver is for the pci express 54 slot on a Acer 8920? I don't think mine is working.

    Thanks for the reply would you know what vista driver that would be? That ftp site is for the european model is it not? I went to the panam site for the american version and do not see any new updates which is wierd because I see there is a bios version 1.08 for the euro model and I am running bios 1.02. There is no update on the bios on the panam site.

    the drivers are the same... if you hang out here for awhile you'll see that most of us use the EURO site because it gets updated more often than the pam-am site... but if you check the files available at both sites... the files (of the same versions) are EXACTLY the same

    Well the reason I was asking is because my mogo mouse stop working. I have noticed that when I place it in the express slot 54 to charge the light is't lighting up on it. So I was thinking that something is wrong with the pci 54 slot because it worked before I did a factory default restore. I dont see any issus in the device manager. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot a pci epress slot54? Any commands that can be run from the command prompt to test it?
