If your device can detect other acces point then, your wifi device is correctly installed. If not, os will tell your wifi have problem. If you try connect, and have problem with connection, it came from your acces point(wifi router expample). Maybe it have password that have not match with your pc. If that access point is yours, then you can try check the password for wifi using cable connection.

If that acces point(wifi router) is not yours(public), then you cant get the password unless you try hack using air-ng, backtrend using wifi device that can capture and monitor the network(wifi *** support a/b/g exmple) if it only support b/g, you cant get wep encryption password.


If it does not have password, and you try to connect, but it still problem, that mean, it have restrictly to MAC address in wifi router.

I have an acer aspire 7720 i changed the hard drive recently installed all the drivers buut the wireless connection refuses to work ive

Hi

when you said that you have installed a new hard drive
did you use the recovery disks to install the operating system

have you checked in device manager to see if the wireless driver is installed
please check under network adapters
if it is in there but not working you could un install it
restart laptop and windows may install it correctly on start up

or you could look on the website for a new wireless driver
also please make sure that you have enable the wireless switch


www.acer.com


support/downloads
find your model
then scroll down for the wireless driver
download it
install it
restart the laptop

good luck
many thanks

Acer aspire 5580 upgraded with windows 7(previous ly with windows vista home premium)- camera not working

From looking at the Acer support site it looks as if they haven't sorted out the driver files for Window 7 yet for the Bison, Logitech and Suyin webcams. I've had mixed success in the past by downloading and installing the older drivers for Vista but it's pretty hit and miss. Hopefully the afore mentioned manufacturer's are working on providing updated drivers for Windows 7 very soon.

Unfortunately, when upgrading to Windows 7 from XP or older operating systems, sometimes some functionality is lost that was there with the old operating system.

In my case, with an Acer Aspire from the year 2006, I lost the touchpad scrolling buttons. I couldn't get it to work for the life of me. I downloaded the latest drivers from Acer and from the touchpad manufacturer to no avail.

I wish you luck in finding the right driver for your laptop and Windows 7, but something tells me that it will be futile seeing that you already used one from the Samsung site, which is where I would have gone.

Check that you have the proper drivers installed. The device may not be compatible for window's 7,in that case, get a pcmia wireless card that is compatible.

HI I a acer 5580 and i would like to put windows 7 on it? is it possible

Yes, it is possible to use Windows 7,but acer doesn't release Windows 7 drivers for your Notebook as they don't support it.

But you can use the drivers for Windows Vista as 90% of the drivers meant for Windows Vista works fine with Windows 7.usually you can have problem with your webcam drivers.

You can download vista drivers from the link below

http://www.acer.com.au/acer/service.do;jsessionid=F9CA46360A052A6339B625171803290A.public_a_14a?LanguageISOCtxParam=en&miu10einu24.current.attN2B2F2EEF=3112&sp=page15e&ctx2.c2att1=92&miu10ekcond13.attN2B2F2EEF=3112&CountryISOCtxParam=AU&ctx1.att21k=1&CRC=3559666452
