   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.

    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 …)

    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.

    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. :)

    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! :)

    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?

    Hugo Lim  on October 29th, 2008

    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 :)
