Network controller I have no network, multimedia, sm bus, and usb controller drivers; so with out network driver I can not hook up the internet

you must turn one of ,one driver will be for Ethernet the other for wifi.right hand side connect icon right click go to network and sharing ,left hand side up top change adapter choose the one you want.as the the yellow marks its telling those drivers are missing.you need either to download them or look for your driver or motherboard disc as the drivers will be on there.

You obviously got access to the internet somehow in order to post this question. Unless you can get to the ACER website and download the drivers, you are not going to get satisfaction. Here is the link to the ACER driver support site. Enter your model and choose your OS. Download the drivers to a USB stick and transfer them to your PC.


Drivers and Manuals

You can download the device drivers from ASUS WEB site. Select your model motherboard/computer/laptop, and make sure you select drivers that matches your Windows operating system. Please click on this link to their WEB support site : - http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

On another computer, go to the manufacturer's website and download all the required drivers. Then copy the drivers to a usb stick and copy them to the new computer. Once on the new computer, look for a file named setup in each driver folder and dounle click it. The drivers should install.

If you do the ethernet/network driver first, Windows might install the rest automatically.

You probably installed Windows from a "generic" CD-ROM.
Reinstall Windows, from the ACER-modified Windows "System Restore" disk, and all the correct device-drivers will be automatically installed.

Or, find another computer with Internet access, and a CD-writer.

Access ACER's web-site. Click "support" and "download", and download the AUDIO and NETWORK and MOTHERBOARD and VIDEO drivers to a folder on the computer.

Burn the contents of that folder to a CD-recordable.
(Since you say that your 'SM Bus Controller' is not working, you won't be able to use a USB memory-stick on your computer.)

Move the CD-R to your computer, and install the MOTHERBOARD driver, and then the other drivers, from the CD.

You can find all the drivers Except the sm bus controller on Sony's web site. If you have a ATI Graphics board, go to there site to get the SM bus controller drive.

I lost my sound device after I formatted windows XP professional SP2

i get most of my drivers from driverguide.com it is free

hi, for installing the said devices, you have to use the driver CD of the laptop. If you have not got the motherbord driver CD contact the dealer.

thank you

all you need to do is to update the drivers for the SM Bus Controller.
