    Wireless Problem (acer eMachines e525)


    Hello Everybody,

    I've uninstalled windows vista on my emachines e525 laptop and installed windows 7. I used to acces internet via wireless before uninstalling windows, but now as I installed windows 7, I can't find a compitable driver. Despite the fact that I tried almost all available wireless vista drivers, it didn't work.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance, hope you will help me...

    You should be able to get the Windows 7 drivers from:

    Thank you very much, but every time I try to install each of these drivers, Windows action center says new hardware device installation wasn't successful, despite the fact that the program itself says the installation of drivers was successful

    Try disabling "User Account Control" before installing the drivers and if that doesn't work, see if you can install them by booting into Safe Mode.

    To disable UAC go to "Control Panel > User Accounts > Change User Account Control settings" and move the slider down to Never Notify.
