    The Acer likely came with some wireless software. Is in an Intel wireless card ? If so look for something called PROSET. You can either disable that (it may be in the SYSTRAY in the lower right hand corner) or through normal START / ALL PROGRAMS.

    Look at Task manager if you are unsure what software is running. You can also enable the Windows Wireless Network though Control Panel / Network Connnections / Wireless - right click / enable (that should diable the other software)

    Good luck
