You have to go to the internet settings and manually connect the laptop to the internet. Then, you may or may not have to type in the security code for your internet. You should be all set after that!

Try Acer Aspire One Driver XP, which can work with a windows disk to return your Acer Aspire One Windows XP back to the original factory setup. http://www.downloadatoz.com/driver/download/15545,acer-aspire-one-driver-xp.html

I have an Acer laptop which is running Windows Vista... it some how got a virus. I have tried to do a system restore and it did not work.

How to clear everything off of my Acer laptop and completley start over?
I have a stupid Acer laptop, and it's been running very slow latley. I removed almost all of the programs that I had downloaded, and it's still being slow. I want to reboot the entire thing and start off brand new. I tried reading the manuel and I don't see anything in it about rebooting the system. How do I do this?

place recovery disk in cd drive >restart follow instructions
2 :
if you have a windows cd boot from it. to do this wait till the first boot screen and in the top corner or bottom corner it will have boot menu or boot options with a key next to it. press that key then at the next scree you should have the option to boot from cd. if you dont have the cd you may have a recovery partition on your drive that you can boot from using the same steps use that to reinstall windows

When you first purchased your Acer, it would have asked you to create a restore CD or DVD, using these to reboot your laptop from them will help you re-create your laptop driver as the time when you created the backup. If have not done that, check by pressing F8 or F12 when the laptop is booting to find if the system has a restore built in option. I would however suggest that you run an Anti-Virus Like AVG and an Anti Spyware like Spybot or AntiMalware to help clean your system. Spyware is usually the main reason you get your system to slow down. Hope this helps.

you should check your hard drive, maybe it is starting to fail. If so rebooting won't help. Google for "check hdd smart attributes" to see how healthy your hard drive is. Also when it is running slow open task manager and see, maybe there is one particular program which eats up all CPU/memory. Check you computer for viruses. Yeah, maybe start with it and then do other stuff :) Go to Start -> Run -> cmd, type chkdsk c: /R and let it scan the disk for bad sectors.

Sounds like you need to set up a print server http://www.dlink.com/products/?model=DPR-1260 so you just connect the print server to the router via ethernet cable and connect your printer to one of the usb ports i've got xp so it may be a little diffrent you go into printers and faxes and click on add printer click next and click on a network printer or a printer attached to another computer click for browse for a printer and hopefully it will come up if it doesnt then look it up on google (also if you have more than 1 computer connected to your router u might want to set the printer up on that if their wirless or else just buy a wirless USB adaptor if your other computers arnt wirless because i know nothing about them i know about it but never had experience with one) sorry this is making it like your spending so much money it just the best way
