I got fed up with VISTA and installed XP Pro on to my Acer Aspire T180. All went well except that I now am missing drivers. When I go to Device Manager it shows that there are no drivers installed for the Display adapter / Video Controller (VGA compatible) and also under Other devices / PCI Device.
I've searched on the web and am not able to find any drivers and the default video is awful.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
My problem was with the T180 was the VGA support under XP. Reinstalling the Chipset drivers fixed that - audio and ethernet still broken but I'm using a wireless adapter for networking and I have separate sound care for sound - but anyway the link is:
http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/downloads_gd.html
I downloaded and installed chipset for XP 32 and it worked fine - presume the same is true for the Home Edition drivers.
I did try the pdf index suggested by a previous poster but I found all the links to XP drivers were broken.

When you have unzipped files check each file by opening folder some files are named setup doubleclick and the will work. JB
Go to the nvidia website for N gforce 6100for the video drivers
then go to realtecs website and download the latest drivers
I had the same problem when I "upgraded" a T180 from Vista to XP. You have to ensure that the drivers match the audio chip. There are two types - check out the audio chip with PCwizard.
Downloads are availabe from the Acer site.
You can download your drivers here:
http://www.acerpanam.com/synapse/forms/acerdrivers.cfm
just select you product model then "get the drivers list in PDF"
cheer!

Fantastic,
Thank you very much for your help melnavz, it is greatly appreciated.
I downloaded the PDF file and selected the appropriate driver. But when I ran the setup application and restarted the computer, nothing happened. When I went to check the drivers that still weren't installed, the video driver still appeared as uninstalled on the list.
Can you help?

Missing Drivers...I formatted my system and now I dont have the drivers CD's
I switched my Acer Aspire Aspire T180 from Vista to XP SP2.
I reformatted the drive and installed a fresh installation of XP. Everything works great except I don't have sound or connection to internet. According to the Device Manager, I don't have drivers for PCI Ethernet, Video Controler, Sound and the other devices in the PCI category. Can I get a download of these drivers?

just bought a acert180 and i need drivers where can i get them

adapter / Video Controller (VGA compatible) and also under Other

missing drivers:
sound device driver
ethonet driver
problemed drivers:
ethernet controller
pci devie
sim bus controller
video controller(vega comp
sound device
i need drivers for these listed above.
i recently done the same and windows update fixed me up with everything but the simbus controller and the audio controller
My problem is the display drivers. None I've tried works. At least I fiddle around with the audio drivers and accidentally discovered that The so called HD audio for realteak does well, as for the display the situation is far worse than one can imagine because I have tried a dosen of them now but the effort invains. I've been using every utility disk i could lay my hands on "alas" none works. So I'm now stuck with vista and my slow computer with the RAM upgraded to 1.25GB (i.e.1GB + 512MB).
I have the same problem with my video drivers gone misssing
no driver for pci device and sm bus conteroller
I can not find an ethernet driver or PCI
i updated to xp pro sp3 and none of the sound worked
