Does anybody know a good and trustworthy website to download the latest drivers of a device (other than the manufacturer's website). The driver of the device i'm looking for isn't on the manufacturer's website and Windows Update sometimes doesn't update all the hardware to the latest.
softpedia.com often has device drivers. When you say it's not on the manufacturers website, do you mean Acer's website, or the device manufacturers website? For example, if you are looking for your Radeon video card driver, Acer may not have the newest version available, or might not have 7 version at all. But ATI's website will have it, if it exist.
Both, i need the lastest drivers for my Realtek RTL8190 wireless N network card because it's not performing as well as i thought (150 mps) where as my sister's acer laptop has a connection speed of 300 mbps. Either the driver is bad or a bad PCI slot.
And dam, can't find RTL8190 on softpedia.com
Are you sure she had the same card? Some OEMs have a variety of wireless cards that their computers can come with.
Yeah, distance definitely effects it. And different cards will pick up a signal better than others. Usually, the more expensive the card, the farther away it will work from.
Oh dam, i just notice that I put this thread in the wrong section. Should be in the "Drivers" section, Can somebody move this topic?
