    Hello,

    Yes the model is E 1522. The acer site is fine, but to get drivers it wants to go online. Witch of course i cant.

    It would be good if Acer just had a basic drivers disc, to get it all going then use there online wizard

    Thanks

    You may download the driver from Acer website on any computer, then transfer the driver file using  USB stick and install it.

    I fixed the problem, i downloaded ultimate boot cd. Took all the partitions off except one. Formatted it, then used win 7 boot disk. And a fair bit of playing with the bios done
