Installation I have Windows Vista and the download isn't compatable. Please help.

Sounds like you need to stick with Vista. Believe me, Windows 7 is just a tab bit better, but you'll have problems with it.

If you have windows xp, goto HERE. download drivers you want and follow installation instructions. If you have windows 7 don't worry if windows 7 isn't listed. vista drivers works fine.
Please rate my solution.

If you have the Windows Vista or Windows XP driver, try installing in Compatibility Mode. Here's a tutorial I've posted recently (click HERE.), but please select Windows Vista instead of Windows XP. There isn't problem even if you select Windows xp, but since it's windows vista driver, that should work perfectly.

Let me know if you need further help.

Good Luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Sorry to said but there are no drivers for your notebook for Windows 7. I suggest you to download from this link previous drivers and use these drivers at your notebook in compatibility mode. This means that before the drivers installation, right click on the installation file, choose properties - compatibility and check compatibility with the version of the drivers you download. For example if you download the drivers for Vista check the Vista compatibility. Note that the Vista drivers are available for 64bit also.

In case of a problem or clarification, don't hesitate to post me a reply before rejecting my answer.
If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs" or (even better) add a testimonial.

I will recommend that you download and run the free Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. It helps find issues with your computer’s hardware, devices that might affect installing Windows 7. Go to the Windows 7 Compatibility Center find direct links to drivers, updates, and downloads.

Hi,

If you are looking to install or up-grade the your computer to Windows Vista then the first thing you need to look at is the Hardware compatibility, I understand that you are using Acer Aspire T180 computer which must have had very high configuration, however I recommend you to please check if the system is 100% compatible with the Windows Vista software as there is no harm in just making sure of what it is rather than running into issues later so with the help of the link below you can download and run the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor to know the system compatibility.

Then once you know that the system is compatible with the Vista, you can now start the installation wizard. However do not worry, about the installation wizard asking you where to get installed as it is quite normal, you will have to provide the system with the hard-drive information, for it to get installed. The best way is to go with the default option that you see on your screen. Here are few links below through which you can download the guide for how to Up-grade to windows vista as well as for How to install Vista step-by-step. Download the guides and use them for you assistance.
