I install my Winxp HE (Sp1 original) on my new Acer 4710. Drivers was install all install after tweaks. Now I can shut down the notebook or restart. After windows complete the “saving” and proceed to shutdown, the notebook forze! Except I can shutdown pressing the power button. Can anyone help me? Do I need to update the windows? My older notebooks works fine. All this problem started after I download the drivers.

Well, I not sure whats the root of your problem but getting XP Service Pack 2 is highly recommended. Cheers~~

Please i need your advise.

I have successfully installed the Win XP SP2 at my Acer Aspire 4310. However, everytime it shutdows my notebook always hangs. I need to remove first the battery pack before it will power off.

Thank you.

First of all a BIG thank you to all you guy
s. It has been a real headache for me for the past two days.

It’s about my Acer Aspire 4710z. The wireless adapter has been creating problem. Broadcom 802.11g Wireless Network adapter refuse most of the drivers that I could get my hand on either from resource disk (I don’t quite trust it anymore). as well as from various sites.

My lucky break came when Google search brought me to this site. From then on I tried the Acer ph, where I finally solved my problem. THANKS AGAIN YOU GREAT GUYS. (I wander why our ACER M’sia doesn’t have all those drivers …)

with that provided audio drivers also i m not able to install for my acer 4710!!!!

[still it says setup failure can anyone help

[quote comment="1809"]with that provided audio drivers also i m not able to install for my acer 4710!!!![/quote]

sorry.. the links in this post for 4310 and not tested on 4710… please try searching in some other place… i dun hav a 4710 to experiment on at the moment so I can’t help… good luck ;)

Even with the 4710 Win XP audio driver it says setup failure.. Is there any other audio driver that suits acer

well, and to think i was going to destry the 4315 that i have … i have been told that the only difference between the two is a ‘card reader’

anyways, as soon as i get my original xp back i will try to install it…. i wiped out vista in return for fedora 6 ( i hate vista ) but you seem to have enough info here for me to be getting on with so thank you very much

hi hugo pls help me, i used the audio driver above for my acer 4310, but after installing it, i cannot start my computer normally. pls help me!

Hello there, try read my article here on how to load ACHI driver into your XP installation disc.
Or you may want to change the mode in your BIOS from ACHI to IDE. Try exploring your BIOS.
cheers~ :)

I have Acer Aspire 4310-2176 Laptop. I am unable to install wireless driver on windows xp. Please help me.

Okay, FINALLY I was able to install the Wireless LAN for my 4310.
I tried everything you guys told me here, and here’s the only solution that worked for me:

Wireless Lan Driver 802bg Broadcom Ver.4.100.15.5V4.0

That should be the name of the compressed file you just downloaded. Extract it.

If you have had previous drivers installed from your previous attempts at making the WLAN work, just go to Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager

Right-click on your WLAN’s icon and choose “Update driver”

Choose these options in order:
“No, not this time.”
“Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)”
“Don’t search. I will choose the driver to install.”
“Have disk…”

Browse to where you extracted the original contents of the compressed file.

Go inside these folders:
Wireless Lan Driver 802bg Broadcom Ver.4.100.15.5V4.0>
Setup BCM 4311 Setup 4.100.15.5-QMI_V4.0>
Driver Files>
32-bit>
choose the only file that will be showing, “bcmwl5″.

Click on “OK”.
A list will pop up, choose “Broadcom 802.11 Multiband Network Adapter”

After installation, your WLAN button on the notebook should start blinking and make you feel like it’s Christmas already. :)

Dear all i had problem to re format my Aspire, my Lap top was decteded no hard disc was found, What should i do

thank
ammm

amm shah,

Check your BIOS, is your hardisk listed inside? If yes, then you need to have AHCI driver in order to gain access to your HDD

good luck! :)

Thanks alot.
this goes for a big round of applause to you all people providing service.

i was bugged up with my acer 4310 regarding Wireless Problem – Broadcom. but you guys rock. repaired it with the assistance you provided.

thanks a tonne.

can u plz help me. i’m reformatin my friend’s aspire 4310. i’m having problem with the wireless network adapter. everytime i try to install the broadcom driver it always say that i need to insert the wireles adapter to the laptop. but isn’t it built-in inside the laptop.
n i’ve read your 1st post on installing windows xp on an aspire 4310. question is do i need to follow those steps even if the laptop was previously using windows xp?

cella: for your wifi, you need to use the hot key on your keyboard to turn in on if not mistaken.
and for new installation of windows xp, yes you need to load AHCI drivers into your installation disc first before you can install them. cheers :)

help me please…i have problem with my audio All the driver installation works for my laptops except the audio.It states “Realtek HD audio setup failure”.I tried other versions but still can’t work.
for information, i’m used windows sp3 and 4310

hi yudhi, try to install the driver manually instead. go to your system devices, select the audio device and search for drivers in the installation folder. cheers. good luck! :DV

guys: Acer has released Windows XP drivers for model 4310… click here for the official driver page. search no more, everything is there! this will make our life easier :D

Hi there,

I was facing same problem of installing XP 2 on Acer Aspire 4310 but could not. I have already formatted the hard drive into fat-32, Now i can’t install xp and i do’t want to install vista. Please tell me the blog you have written for installing xp2 part- i can’t find it.

Thanks,

Hugolim

there you go praveen…. this is the one. you will need to load AHCI driver into your windows XP installation disc first so that setup can detect your hardisk for installation later on. cheers~~ :)

i installed xp in my acer 4710 by integrating ACHI driver in os..everything is fine but audio is not working.. it shows AzmixerSel.exe has encountered an probem,,,this AZMIXERSel is in realtek hd audio driver. help me out

Hey Hugo,

Thanks a lot for the guide. I was fed up with being unable to make the wireless device work. Thank you.

For your information, your website appear just below the “notebook forum solution” in google search result. :-)

Hey there, thanks for visiting here ya :)

Glad my article helped you. :D

Hey bro, just to tell you that the HP driver above doesn’t work for my Aspire 4310. Instead, I get the driver from Acer @ Euro.
Thanks. :)

hey if your having trouble getting the wireless working of a acer aspire 4710 on xp, here’s a driver i found that works, its the only one i could get working, none from the acer website worked, its on http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic97411.html, just go in device manager and manually install and it will work, hope this helps anyone having a hard time

im still havin a hard time installing the audio driver for my aspire 4710…cud some pls give a driver that can b installed on my 4710…ive installed it and then when i play music files i still cannot hear anything and an error msg in media player would prompt

Hi there, I suspect that you didnt get your sound driver installed properly thus wmp prompts up error. Try to re-install the driver ya

i now installed the driver but my problem now is that my audio plug and my 2 usb port from the left side is not working…huhuhuhu….

I think its hardware failure issue this time.. consider sending it back for RMA. haha.. good luck ya! cheers~

Dear Brother,

I have problem with Aspire 4710, not able to install XP, now i can not go to dos also,please help me, can not change the BIOS setup from SATA to ATA or IDE, not able to see the option. Pleaseeeeeee help me.

Tkls in advance….

Oliver

Hi there, I dont have the laptop with me anymore so I can’t really hands-on with it to guide you.

You should be able to change the mode from AHCI to IDE in the BIOS setup. Try to look again.

Also, you may change the boot sequence so that your laptop reads your disc first so that you can install windows xp.

Good luck ya! cheers

You guide just helps me out with installing the wireless card. BRILLIANT! THANK YOU!!

Hey there, surely you are welcome. Glad to help! =)

F**K~ ! You are the best man! After 60 million years my wifi is now online!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot!

hahah.. glad to help :D

Thank u for the guides,can’t install it without ur help… really grateful =)
