ReplyDeletethere are 2 vga which ati and intel, have you try both, and to make it easier can you post the hardware ID for the VGA
ReplyDeleteHello Sir,
ReplyDeleteI already installed the VGA, but the lower version of the installer. Now, i have another problem, i tried installing the launch manager, but upon restarting, it gives me an error indicating "..wlanapi.dll not found..."
i tried reinstalling the application, but still got the same error. your help is very much appreciated. thank you in advance.
install Microsoft hotfix KB918997 here:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=52A43BAB-DC4E-413F-AC71-158EFD1ADA50
I believe wlanapi refer to tour wireless. commonly happen to D-link wireless. try reinstalling the wireless driver.
this problems also occured when you upgrade XP to XP sp3.
btw what version of VGA driver did you use, it may help others too

Hello sir,i'm going to buy acer aspire 4738z. Is it bluetooth enable laptop,i mean without using bluetooth dongle.
ReplyDeleteyes,so far base on the 4738z i have here, it has "Integrated" Bluetooth® 2.1+EDR, so you don't have to use bluetooh dongle
ReplyDeleteYippie... If I could win one it will save time for me to make some other great project. I am so happy I found your website.
ReplyDeleteHi, greatly appreciate your help to community.
ReplyDeleteI too have bought this laptop yesterday.
Can you tell how can I know that which driver can be used from the dvd provided along with the laptop (on/for winxp-32)and which one I've to download separately from here. In other words, how can I know which driver is already available on driver dvd with me and which one is not (different from Win7 Drivers).
2nd, my 4736z sticker says 'Intel GMA4500' then which chipset/vga I should go for?
use this one for you vga:
ReplyDeleteIntel VGA Driver v8.15.10.2119 (look at my post for the download link.
just install the drivers you get from the CD/DVD. to check you have all the drivers needed, open device manager (click start - select run - type DEVMGMT.MSC and press ok)
A device manager will open and see if there any device with yellow mark. If you see that, state the name of the device.
Hello,it's me again.Already purchased Acer 4738z,and still having some problem with Bluetooth things. When i install bluetooh driver then it showed:"No Bluetooth device was detected.Please make sure that your bluetooh device is plugged in properly in order to continue installation" what does that mean? Do i still need BT dongle to connect?
ReplyDeleteDifferent place manufacturing different hardware, for example i have 2 similar F700 here, one have bluetooth and the other not. But did u ask the person who sell the notebook weather the it have bluetooth or not?
ReplyDeleteanother thing is have you take a look at the device manager, see if there any devices with yellow, and the DVD you have, try to look if there any driver for bluetooth.
by default your model should have the bluetooth
I'm having problems installing Wifi and Bluetooth.
ReplyDeleteFor both, software reports 'Successful installation' but hardware not found.
I know that hardware exists (Win7 finds it) but driver is not succeeding in actual.
I wanted to attach screenshot, but couldn't find a way to do this here.
i can't istall the driver bluetooth, both 2 applicable bluetooth driver:
ReplyDelete1. Atheros Bluetooth Driver v7.01.000.18
and
2. Broadcom Bluetooth Driver v6.3.0.6000

hi,
ReplyDeletefor the bluetooth, try right click and select administrator to install, if still didn,t work i will post another driver

ReplyDeleteOkay. Thanks!
ReplyDeletei can't install acer 4738z webcam driver.it ask me to turn on the device.how to switch on the device?need help badly...thank u.
ReplyDeletehi there, normally if it asked you to switch on you can press the Fn + *key, the *key may refer to F5 so you need to press Fn + F5, you can look at the keyboard which button represent the webcam, the press Fn and the other button.
ReplyDeletesalam bro...
ReplyDeletesaya dah try tekan fn + F5 tetapi masih tidak berjaya.saya guna win 7 32 bit.sebelum ni guna 64 bit...camera jalan cantik.bila guna win xp 32 bit dan win 7 32 bit camera terus tak function lepas format.dah cuba install driver tetapi kluar prompt suruh turn/switch on device.thanx a lot bro...
ada 3 jenis driver iaitu suyin , chicony dan liteon, dah cuba tiga2 tak, dalam device manager ada tak unknown usb device ataupun apa2 deviec yang bertanda kuning?
ReplyDeletedah try tiga2 tapi still takbleh.takde plak detect unknown device.maybe pasal device tu tak switch on...tu yg tak dapat detect new hardware.ada yg kata kena guna driver yg ada pada cd acer tapi masalahnya hilang plak cd driver acer tu...
ReplyDeleteyang terbaik adalah guna CD driver, biasanya kalau webcam dalam CD tu ada Crystal eye ebcam application bersama dengan syin/liteon etc. Cuba install yang ni:
ReplyDeleteSuyin webcam + acer crystal eye application
version: 5.2.19.3
http://www.mediafire.com/?cv6il5c66085q1l
dah try download and install link yg diber tapi still tak boleh.dah guna dah acer drver cd pun tak boleh.maybe ada problem dgn OS.saya akan try format balik dan install balik semua driver.anyway...thanx a lot bro.

@Anonymous - what specifically did u mean by module, is it bluetooth module or 3G module etc. Or you need empowering software. If you have this module before or you know few things about it can you give some details about it.
ade x driver yg bole utk hack wifi.
ReplyDeletex support la.
Fungsi driver adalah untuk mmbuatkan devices berfungsi dalam OS. Jadi kalau bolehh connect wifi maknanya driver tu ok, kalo xleh connect kne carik driver yg sesuai.
ReplyDeleteUtk hack wifi perlukan software bukan driver dan mungkin ada diskusi pasal ni dalam forum2 lain, kebnyakan website yg share pun (software hack) xkan bertahan lame sbb akn mndapat amaran dari pihak2 trtntu. Kbnyakan software hack bnyak dalam forum laman web dari cina tp disarankan berhati-hati. sesetngah software mgkin adalh malware dan spyware. Biasanya software ni digunakan untuk mendapatkan WEP key untuk access wireless yg mmrlukan wepkey. Biasanya software ni disedikan untuk OS linux.
4738Z hdd tak detect bile tukar ke ide mode. kalo tukar ke ahci mode, hdd detect tapi lepas format win7 takleh masuk windows. blank terus
ReplyDeleteutk win xp gune ahci mode dan vista/7 IDE mode, cuba tuka dari AHCI ke IDE vice versa

biasanya perkara ni terjadi sbb bukan xda dvd driver tapi sbb CD wndows 7 tu corrupt file dia (bad cd/bad burn process) dan amat biasa berlaku jika guna pendrive.
