[SOLVED] hard time with ATI driver from acer

sulaco · 01-27-2009, 09:05 PM

Hello,lost the hardrive on our Acer Aspire 5100,after reinstalling XP i wanted to start gathering the drivers,I cant seem to get the chipset and vga driver,everytime i download it from acer it says its corrupted file,ive spent 2 hours looking elsewhere,softpedia had a download but it was mirrored to acer

ive looked at ATI's website but dont see it,here is where i have been downloading it from:
http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers...k/as_5100.html

It has an AMD Turion 64 x2 and an ATI Radeon xpress 1100
any help finding the driver would be much appreciated...thanks

it is also Vista capable if that helps,thx

After posting the original message,I let windows loose to see what it could find (found new hardware) message,it took about 3 minutes to find the ATI driver,I was actually kind of impressed,it found the drivers it did.

Thank you for the help JP
