Well, they say, you don't have success if you don't try. It wouldn't hurt to at this point, you've nothing to lose.

Also, I'd scrap the drivers from the resource CD. I quote Linus Sebastien "Do not use the CD. Always download the latest driver from the internet". If possible, download the latest drivers from the link I posted above (2nd reply), save them to a USB drive and install them.

Here's the barebone drivers that you'll need, and I'll say to refrain from installing any other drivers at this point. We want it to go right and diagnose problems as they occur. - Audio Driver (only if the audio isn't already working), LAN Driver (again, only if LAN isn't already working), Touchpad Driver (again, same thing here), USB 3.0 (Sandy Bridge doesn't natively support USB 3.0, so this driver will be required if you're on a 2nd gen Core i series CPU), VGA Driver (are you running off the Intel ore Nvidia graphics? Install the appropriate driver. And only if not already working - correct resolution, for example), and last but not least, the Wireless LAN Driver (I repeat, only if not working already). All the other drivers are not mandatory and you shouldn't have to use them.

Also, to tell which driver is 64-bit and which is 32-bit, you'd click on the driver name, and the save dialogue will appear. The name would be something like "Audio_Realtek_5.10.0.6373_XPx86_A", if it's x86, it's 32-bit. If it's x64, well, self explanatory, 64-bit. I do criticize Acer for not stating the OS type on the web page...

Good luck.
