    Hi,

    I recently wiped clean my Acer 5230e laptop. I reinstalled Windows Vista Enterprise 32-bit...

    All the drivers are there bar the network and ethernet controllers. When I try install them, the computer keeps crashing...

    Any suggestions on how to get em installed? Why is it happening...

    Did you install the chipset driver?

    Do you get any error messages? BSOD?

    All sorted.

    Vista is a piece of ****... 7 on the other hand is a gem, I installed that and it sorted all of the drivers in seconds.

    3 cheers for 7 :D
