clean install no wireless and missing drivers

[aliaswingman]

Hi everyone,

I have an Acer Aspire 3500 Laptop and have just completed a clean install after being the victim of yet another i guess you could say well made virus..

After re-installing windows i have noticed that i no longer have a wireless network connection icon and the following drivers are missing

1) Ethernet Controller
2) Multimedia Audio Controller
3) PCI Modem
4) Video Controller (VGA Compatible)

I now know i should have been clever and copied the drivers before cleaning my install, la hard esson learnt.

My questions are... would any of these be the cause of my wireless icon problem and how would i locate these as ive tried an automatic driver update via the internet to no avail.. if this is not the case could anyone help me get my wireless back (dont realise how good it is till its not there)

Thanks in advance

Did you recieve an Acer Driver CD with this laptop ? ?
If so all the neccessary drivers are on that CD...
Just put it in and click the setup icon from Explorer and it will install them...
If the above is not true then you'll have to go fishing at Acer's site and DLoad the proper ones.
Chipset/MBoard drivers should be installed FIRST.
