Looking for Acer Hardware Detect Software

I have a Acer 5315 Laptop computer. Recently, I had to completely restore it by using the available support software downloads. First, I installed my Vista Home Basic operating system and downloaded all the software for the Acer 5315 model. I have not installed all of the Acer downloads, just the Vista operating system.

I have access to the internet by using a Ethernet connection and there are no wireless connections shown even though I have a paid wireless connection.

Network Adapter shows: Broadcom 590x 10/100 Ethernet

Ethernet device shows: unknown manufacturer

Modem device shows: unknown manufacturer, High Definition Audio Bus

I would like to get the Acer Hardware Detect software to correct my connect. Later, I want to install the Acer downloads to install the computer back to factory settings, check and then do a backup copy.

The Hardware Detection tool is listed on the Drivers page as:

Need to know the hardware on your system to choose the right drivers?

I was frustrated but I did find it sitting right there on the drivers page. Guess I needed to take a break at that time. Thanks for the reply.

To date, I have reloaded Windows Vista Basic edition, the required drivers and all the Windows updates. I still have not installed all of the Acer programs back to factory conditon. I might load those programs this weekend given time. Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
