Hi everyone, long story short.
I had a cracking Toshiba laptop i tipped a pint of water over and ruined it.
Bought an iPad, utterlyb useless waste of time so gvae it to my girl who gave me this laptop as i need it for business and to have something of actual use!
Now i uninstalled the windows vista home that was on it and installed the windows vista home premium from the toshiba laptop, all good...i think.
However, for the life of me I cannot get this laptop to activate it's WI-FI capability?
Can anyone please advise?
Many thanks in advance,
Chris.

Make sure that "Launch Manager" is installed (it can be downloaded from Acer support website - this file)
Also if I may - I would suggest you buy a copy of Windows 7. Windows 7 as you probably know is a lot more responsive and quick and would make a world of difference. -
Yip, downloaded that file and extracted it.
Nothing, no active wi-fi at all.
starting to drive me nuts tbh. -
Excuse the dumb question but did you install it after extracting and does the Wi-Fi on/off button work?
-
As far as i know i installed it, how can i double check?
The wi fi facility worked perfectly beforehand. -
Check if it to shows in installed apps. Also is the Wi-Fi card properly installed? Check in the device manager if it were so indeed there (without a yellow triangle)
-
Nope, not a thing?
-
Not a thing on which one?
Is the Launch Manager visible on the list of installed apps and running (process name is LManager.exe)
Is the Wi-Fi card properly installed - is it even visible in the device manager? -
:hi2: Good evening everyone,
I have an Acer Aspire 5315 with the same problem on the wifi card, I have windows 7 32bit installed, and the card is not detected in device manager.
Someone can help me please. -
