    Hello to all,
    I bought Acer Aspire 5535. I got Resource dvd with it, and on that dvd are drivers for Windows Xp, Vista 64 and Vista 32.
    When I started him for the first time and try Alt + F10 nothing happens, so I decided to format HDD and put XP on it. I changed AHCI in bios (to IDE) and formated the HDD with Windows Xp. Installation of Windows Xp went just fine. It works fine and everything is ok.
    I Only thing I don't have on it is EmPowering. I tried to find it on Acer website, but no way :(

    The empowering thing isnt really vital, it has a few little tools on it but thats about as far as it goes.

    Basically its just a resource hog so i wouldent worry about it :)

    As I can see, on Acer website are only drivers for Vista. If you got Resource DVD with it, and want to install Xp use drivers from that Dvd.
    Some errors which I discover on Acer.com.
    I tried to register my laptop, but can't, because I can't write @ in form for second time writting my e-mail.
    I tried to write mail on their mail form on their site, but when I try to enter my serial number of my laptop, only I get is error (wrong formatting SN).

    Does anyone know how to contact Acer by mail?

    Cross-posting(posting the same thing twice) is not allowed on NBR. Please don't do this again.


    As for contacting ACER by mail, go to www.acer.com, select your location then search for "contact us" link.

    I have just bought an ACER ASPIRE 5535, but there was no DVD with it, and I don't find any XP Drivers anywhere. If you have a DVD with drivers for XP, could you help me (packing drivers and sending by email, or rapidshare or something similar?

    Yes, you may post links but keep it legal! No illegal stuff is allowed.

    Also there is a 15 post limitation to post links so you'll have to modify it a bit in order the forum to "accept" it.

    Looks like Acer has abandoned XP for your lappie. No drivers listed anywhere.

    Sorry,

    It's Bulgarian ;)

    I'm Bulgarian so if you have doubts ask me. "ПОТВЪРДИ" means ACCEPT. Just fill the box on the left with the generated code and click on that button.

    You have to run Setup.exe of each hardware device you want install. Exclude LAN driver. There is no Setup.exe, and you have to load it manually.

    @ Mozo
    That dowload site doesn't seem to have that information anymore. It now says:

    СТРАНИЦА ЗА ДОСТЪП


    Несъществуващ файл / папка

    Could you put it up again. It would be highly appreciated.

    Regarding the registration issue: Make sure you get the zeros (0) and letter O (as in omega) right. I mixed them up at first, but after I tried the other way it worked.
