Saladin643 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I have an acer aspire 5102AWLMi laptop it has;AMD Turion 64 mobile technology MK-38 (2.2 GHz, 512KB L2 cache)Up to 256MB ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 HyperMemory80GB HDD. Actually its two 33GB partitionsDVD drive read and writeCame with 1GB of ddr2 ram I upgraded to 4GBIt is running windows vista basic 32bit seevice pack 0 I don't know what's important so I put everything,I have the factory reset and a snapshot from 2007 backed up on dvds.It had like 300MB left on the C: (windows) drive so I reset to the 2007 snapshot. That was all fine and dandy until I told windows to look for updates to the graphics driver.First it had a dialog saying it was searching for updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saladin643 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Then it said it had finished and told me to restart the computer which I did. It shutdown ok then said windows jad it shutdown properly and to use system repair which in turn told me to use system restore. That finished and told me to restart then it which i did except it told me to launch startup repair again which failed but gave me the option to restore from an earlier point in time which also failed.Wat do? This was done on my smartphone which i'm bad at using btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Do you know what's on your other partition? Is it another OS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saladin643 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 It's just videos and music etc, I've restored it back to 2007 but I want to update the driver without messing up the whole computer again, is there another way to install drivers?

Corvus Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Well, I would suggest manually checking Acer's website to see if they have drivers for your computer, as the generic graphics card manufacturer graphics card drivers can cause really strange issues on laptops due to non standard installation in the laptop (For example, on my Dell laptop if I try using ATI's drivers for my graphics card it conflicts with my Wireless drivers) Thanks to DrCue at DeviantArt for the signature source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
