After reading a few tips from internet i conclude that:
1. HW Vendor Detector from Acer site NOT WORKING (it shows nothing when i run it)
2. In Device Manager, there is no "Network adapters" category until I install some drivers, so I CAN'T do "right-click/properties/details/hardware Ids
3. I can't run my Acer CD
Other info:
# Acer Aspire E1-572G 54204G50MNII
# Intel Core i5 4200U, Haswell technology
# dedicated Radeon HD 8670M 1GB graphic card
# Bluetooth, VGA, HDMI, DVD, USB 3.0
# Motherboard: Acer EA50_HW (U3E1)
# Windows 7 64, bit, ultimate
Please can you answer me:
1. How can i check what brand of wireless driver my laptop support (Atheros or Broadcom) if hardware vendor detector (from site) isnt working? (Are there such thing as "your laptop must support Atheros to install Atheros driver"?)
2. Solve my other 3 blue/red dillemas with arguments.
3. (less important) why HW vendor detector isn't working
Sorry for my long post, and if you answer me at least Q1 and Q2 i wont forget to give you kudos.
