After you reinstall your windows, you will need to install the drivers manually. What is the brand/make/model of your computer? Is it custom built? give us the rig and we can help you out then. Screen shots of missing drivers would be nice too.

If the drivers are in your user folders on "Windows.old" you can just copy them and install them again.

Couple of things you can try to get the drivers back:
- Use Windows update to see if there are any hardware drivers available
- If you have the CDs for those devices, use those to get the drivers back
- Visit Manufacturer's website to see if there are drivers available for those devices
- Under device manager, Right click, update driver, choose advanced option and let windows search for drivers under windows.old. If windows finds the right drivers, it will automatically install them for you.
hope this helps. let us know.

There are Windows 7 drivers for all of those on the Acer Support Downloads webpage for your model here: Download
Download to flash stick or CD, then rightclick each one's .exe file to Run as Admin. to install.
As soon as you get online enable Hardware auto-updating then check optional Windows Updates for newer drivers. Automatically get recommended drivers and updates for your hardware
The ethernet controller will likely be in the chipset which you should install first.
You can also click on any Device in the Device Manager, choose Update Driver, then Browse to C:Windows/System32/Drivers and /driverstore folders to pick up the Vista driver. This won't work if you had XP.
Let us know if you need any additional help.

After downloading the LAN driver, you'll need to rightclick on it to Extract All, then browse the extracted files to Setup, rightcllick to Run as Administrator.
If this fails, click to Ethernet device in Device manager, Choose Driver tab, Update driver by browsing to the extracted files until it picks up the driver - may be in the x64 folder.
Driver Install - Device Manager
If this fails, follow this tutorial to read the Hardware ID off the Device properties, determine which make and model, then google it for Windows 7 64 bit driver: Hardware Identification - Windows 7 Forums

The first 2 thing didn't work.
The third thing I don't know which one to download. Following the guide the stuff that was came up this:
0x8168 (device number), PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Family Controller (chip description), 0x10EC (vendor ID) Realtek Semiconductor (vendor Id).
Nothing was found for the multimedia controller except the vendor name (Animation Technologies Inc) and vendor id (0x1131).
And for Speedstream it came up with this:
0x94CB (device id), ATI RADEON E2400 (chip description), 0x1002 (vendor id) ATI Technologies Inc. / Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (vendor name).

Googling Realtek PCIe Gigbit ethernet family controller windows 7 driver takes us here:
Realtek
Use the Vista driver.
Once you get online enable hardware auto-updating and keep checking optional Windows Updates for newer drivers: Automatically get recommended drivers and updates for your hardware
If you are unable to install drivers, perhaps you have a friend who can show you how.
If you had Vista before these drivers are all in the windows.old folder under C:Microsoft/System32/Drivers and driverstore if you browse there from device manager. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/97061-driver-install-device-manager.html
