Regarding the acer wireless driver

Reinstalling apps:
1. If in Windows - Start - Programs - Acer empowering technology - Acer E-recovery management -
click on Restore at bottom then "Reinstall apps and drivers" - look for hardware drivers that you
need. Click "install now"

There is a place to see if your wireless zero configeration is turned off. If you click on start and then to control panel, there you will see perfomance and maintainence. Another box will open with Administrative Tools then you will see services. Once you click onto that you will scroll down to the W's. and there you'll see Wireless Zero Configuration. Make sure the setting is to automatic start if it says to (usually in blue text) If not then restart. If this works then eventually you should detected new network, If not then you should see an Fn key on your keyboard and on the F keys you should see a think that looks like an antenna sending or receiving a signal. Press the Fn key and whilst holding donw that key click on the F key that has that icon on it. If there's not one there look around the sides or even the front of you laptop. There could possibly a switch that you haven't noticed yet. If none of these work go check your settings in your network connections to make sure it's enabled there too.I hope this works
