    Firstly, I am writing this thread regarding my Acer DESKTOP, simply because I don't know where else to turn, and this community has helped me a lot in the past.

    Anyway, I just purchased an Acer Aspire M5620-1407A, which came loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium. The first thing I did was put a fresh Vista install on, but I'm having trouble finding the necessary drivers. There was NO CD included with the computer!

    The Acer website is horrible for the drivers, there are only 3 on there for the M5620, and they are all the wrong things! I have managed to trace down a G33 Chipset Driver and the GMA 3100 Graphics Driver, but my main problem is I need my network card driver.

    The product page is: http://global.acer.com/products/desktop/asm5620.htm. It doesn't say anything about what network card I have!

    I tried looking through Device Manager at my Network Adapter, but all it says is "WAN Miniport L2TP", "WAN Miniport PPTP", etc. (There are about 5 of those).

    I have tried many random drivers and nothing is working! I can't connect to the internet I have to transfer everything from my laptop. Please help!
