Acer Aspire One Wifi Driver For Windows 7 32-bit
Takako Dito
I have an acer-aspire 5250,With a processor:AMD E-450 APU W/ RADEON (TM) HD Graphics 1.65, My RAM is 4.00GB (3.73 GB) usable.My Operating System is 64-bit. My question is this, I was going through my progarms and found that I have windows7, 32 op sys instolled on here and im woundering why that is instend of 64- bit and is that why my lap top slow, and can i get the right op sys on here and hown do i go about that.
I looked through all the specific models for the AS5250 and they all ship with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. If you go the system properties (shortcut keys: press the Windows key and pause break) what does it show as the installed operating system?
It should list the Windows edition at the top, and in the middle you'll see "system type" and that will tell you either 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. If you have more than one operating system installed it will ask you which you wish to boot into when you first turn the notebook on.
If you are experiencing sluggish performance, is your hard drive (C getting full? A lot of our systems ship with two partitions, a C: partition and partition. If you have not been saving pictures, music, videos, or documents on the partition you may want to think about moving them over there so it frees up space on your C: and that will help speed it up a bit.
I have an old Acer Aspire (32-bit) laptop with an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG adapter from 2008. Having just forced it to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, I noticed straight away that the wireless was not working (maybe that's why I didn't ever see the Microsoft upgrade option).
I downloaded the -PROSet-Wireless-Software-and-Drivers-for-IT-Admins?httpDown= _18.11.0_De132.zip Wireless_18.11.0_De132.zip from this page: then ran the DPInst32.exe file inside the .zip. Nothing much seemed to happen, but on checking Device Manager, the system indicated that the driver is installed but "the device failed to start". I disabled the device, then enabled it - still nothing... getting bored I decided to reboot the machine and start looking for my USB adapter...
Anyway it rebooted, connected to my network and is running perfectly. Not bad for an old Vista machine. Maybe the driver was installed all along and all I needed to do was reboot the machine in the first place. I don't know, drivers aren't really my thing! I thought I'd post this just in case there are other people with similar antique machines lying around.
I've tried the solution listed above, but it hasn't made a difference. I realise that this adapter is now unsupported, but I wondered if you had any advice as to how to fix this issue, maybe a replacement driver or something?
Since the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection is not supported by Microsoft Windows* 10, we would not expect it to work properly. Intel does not provide drivers for this configuration, and we are not aware of possible workarounds.
If Windows* is not able to locate a driver from Microsoft* using Windows* Updates, then we would advise you to check with the Computer Manufacturer Support to confirm if your system is meant to be used with Windows* 10.
No wifi after upgrading from Win 7 Ultimate to Win 10 and Device Manager displayed the following message in the Device Properties dialog box, on the General tab, in the Device Status text box: "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. (Code 12)".
The following actions rectified the problem and might be worth a try for other people. One thing it demonstrates is that the Intel legacy wifi driver (Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection) works in Win 10 although no longer supported by Intel or Microsoft. In my case it involved disabling PCMCIA drivers (I do not use the PCMCIA card reader but there could be other options not tested). It was tested and worked in a Fujitsu Tablet ST5112 with a Centrino processor, running Win 10 Pro, 32bit as follows:
I probably found the solution for the Wireless disconnect after waking up from sleep mode with the Intel 3945ABG. I simply disabled the "Computer can disable the device to save energy" option. The option can be found in the Network Adapter configuration at configure - Energy saving options. As I have a German OS, the english terms might be different, but you will get the respective options by its meaning :-).
I found that disabling the PCMCIA Controller on my Fujitsu Lifebook N Series N6410 is what worked for me. I never use, nor have never used, the PCMCIA ports. I know this is an older thread but thought I would put it out there for people to see.
I'm sure that Intel will not mind me mentioning that the simplest solution to the Acer Aspire 5920 and Windows 10 wifi compatibility issue is to replace the Intel mini-PCIe adapter/card with the equivalent Broadcom card (the ethernet driver in this PC is already Broadcom). The equivalent wifi card is the BCM94311MCG at the dizzy cost of 4.00 from eBay. Very easy to fit (see YouTube) and installs perfectly and quickly DURING AND AFTER boot (so give it a chance) and assuming you have your ethernet cable fitted and working.
Another simple solution I was using was to just buy a tiny USB wireless dongle for 3 bucks from ebay, that did the trick too., but it's nice not to have any unnecessary peripherals hanging on the side.

If you are having problems with Win10, go into Device Manager, make a list of the vendors of your hardware e.g. your Audio is Realtek, BUT Touchpad is either Elantech OR Synaptics, the video is either Intel OR Nvidia, you have to know which one you have so that you can install the latest correct drivers for the device. If something is working OK leave it alone, do not update it until you get everything else working OK. Only update one at a time, get that working properly first, that way you will not confuse the issue.
Updating the BIOS if done incorrectly can HARM your laptop DO NOT DO IT if you don't know what you are doing. If updating the drivers does not solve your problems and you want Win10 go to an expert for help.
The only thing I can think to try is make a note whether your Touchpad is Elantech Or Synaptics. Download the correct driver from the Acer website. Remember where you downloaded it to on your laptop. Uninstall the Touchpad. Restart the laptop, let Win10 " find the "new" hardware if it asks for driver install the driver that you downloaded. Make sure you have the correct driver!
try updating the pointer or touch driver . and restart the computer at last follow this - easy-fix-touch-pad-problems-windows-10 and i hope this will help to solve many this touch issue in computer . thanks
You might not update the touchpad driver, right? Go to manufacturer's official website to download the best matched driver and install it with the prompts. Also, you could use Driver Talent detect the most compatible driver. You could install it with just
My symptoms: No touchpad what so ever, but bluetooth mouse and touchscreen working. Keyboard sometimes freezes when doing the Fn-F7 dance (activate/deactivate touchpad). Old Acer v3 111 upgraded to Windows 10.
I did a myriad of things but these 3 in this order worked for me.
1. installed the touchpad driver from acer.com in compatibility mode and selected Win 8.
2. rebooted and pressed F2 to get into the bios. Reset bios to default and on the Main Tab selected Basic for the touchpad
3. Pressed F10 to save and exit, and when I got into Windows my mouse was moving.
I run into all kinds of problems with hardware not working after install (specifically the touchpad and wifi), but everything works perfectly on the LiveUSB. Is there a setting to install to disk with those basic drivers? I'd rather just have these general drivers working and update each device individually later than try to troubleshoot every problem Ubuntu ends up with after install, especially when those problems prevent me from having a mouse pointer and an Internet connection.
Further details: I'm attempting to install the latest 64-bit version of Ubuntu 14.04. I have done this both with and without updates via wi-fi during installation, with the same results. I'm using a Live Image on a 4 GB USB drive made using UNetbootin.
As touchpad , I can suggest only a workaround: when I installed Ubuntu on Acer C720 chromebook it turned out that touch pad at the moment has no linux drivers at all, so I bought a wireless mouse - those suckers typically are plug and play - no need to install no driver, and it works all the same on Ubuntu, Fedora, and Mint that I have on my two laptops. And windows too.
If your programming and script-fu is powerful enough you may write your own driver, but really there should be something decent available in Linux world already. Or maybe you could try looking for something close to your model and install a driver for that instead
