Hi,
I'm trying to repair my dad's laptop and I need your help guys!
Wireless just won't work! the message reads:
"Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless Software version 10.1.0.2 does not support Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection device driver version 12.4.4.5.
Please update to the driver to one of the following version:
10.0.0.X;10.1.0.X
or update Intel(R) PROSet Wireless Software to one of the following versions:
12.0.0.X;."
The trouble is that I have tried updating both and it doesn't work. I have uninstalled wireless driver completely and installed again from Intel CD and the problem is still there.
Some info about the laptop itself just in case you need it:
Acer Aspire 5633WLMi, OS Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3.
I have also tried in Device manager right click to update network adapter used CD and still no resolution.
HELP????????

Get the wireless chipset drivers directly from Acers site...

This is assuming XP came with the computer. If it had Vista and you're downgrading you will not get the drivers this way.
Didn't see the exact model, but would imagine it'd be classified on the site under the 5600 series. The direct link to the Intel chipset drivers, which should have the Wireless software is at the below link.
