Acer ES1 411 driver errors
I had a total laptop failure last week and would have cost more to
fix than replace (Yes EVERYTHING was backed up)
So I'm now the owner of a shiny new ACER Es1-411.
It was running Win 8 so I backed up the drivers, reset the BIOS to allow a legacy USB Boot, copied my ISO disk as an executable to a memory stick and nuked the Win 8 install along with the 6 (SIX!!!) partitions it had created.
I've now a clean Win 7 Home Premium install working with one exception.
The wifi driver isn't Win 7 compatible, and, I can't find one on line anywhere.
Wondering if you had any suggestions.
I'm looking for an ethernet cable ( I know I have one somewhere) so I can at least get on line... But an the moment am open to ideas!
Any help appreciated !!
UPDATE: I got a USB Wifi dongle an that can now at least see my wifi network.
It looks as if the error is in the Network Adaptor installation.
I'm aware I may have totally borked this, but am open to suggestions... (Including discussions of
what an idiot I've been...)
