Sorry I made this post in another area then realized it was the wrong one. Please delete the other one.
Ok folks this is going to take a while here we go. I'm an idiot and downloaded a virus onto my system. It wiped out all my LAN drivers, my sound card drivers, and my USB port drivers. I can't even tell what hardware I’m running in order to find new ones and the Acer site sucks! It doesn’t even have any Vista 64bit drivers on it for my system!!!
I have an Acer Aspire M5201-E5621A Desktop
Running Windows Vista 64bit
I scanned the computer with AVG and killed he viruses. Tried removing all the hardware and reinstalling it but Windows tells me the best driver is installed but the best driver doesn’t work. Now AVG is acting all wonky as well. Yes I said wonky! I tried downloading every known driver for this computer and installed all of them hoping one would kick in so I at least would have internet again, NOTHING! It tells me over and over that the installation of new hardware failed. I even went out a bought a PCI USB card and it will not install either. I have looked for days and don't know how to find USB drivers for my computer. If I could find those then at least I could use my mouse and keyboard again. At the moment I’m using an old keyboard plugged into the port on the back. It cant be hardware related because the new USB card I bought wont work either!
Can someone please help me! How do I find drivers for all my hardware!
