  4. can't get video or memory card or lan to work yet. audio, chipset works. still trying to resolve but it does not look good for working xp drivers...

  5. update: got all drivers except card reader working! Video drivers comre from intel's site.

    card reader driver seems to have a slight glitch.

  6. hi there, i really appreciate if yu can share the drivers version that you use to install in your acer, so i can update this page and help others too

  7. Hello,

    I just bough Aspire One D257. I have installed Win 7 64 bit on it. But it turned out, that when I start downloading something via wi-fi, the system freezes TOTALLY, even the mouse can't be moved! I updated the driver to the last version and still the same :-(
    Now I want to try installing XP and pray that it works!! I LOVE the 500GB hard drive of it, there seems to be no other 10" device with 500 GB!! I'll post back...

    ReplyDelete

  8. waitin to hear from u sonne =) gud luck

    ReplyDelete

  9. OK, XP is installed. First I've put just the wi-fi driver and it stuck almost immediately on downloading Fedora. I've let it a second chance and it downloaded. Meanwhile I found and installed all the other drivers for XP. Pls let me know how can I send them to you? Post an e-mail or somethiing.
    Now I've made a long torrent queue and I'm gonna leave it for the night. Till now it didn't hang.
    Still thinking whether to give it back and get me the HP 5103. But it has slower CPU and a smaller disk, I love the 500 GB of this Acer, hehhh, tough...

    ReplyDelete

  10. my email kyoajis@gmail.com and you can upload it to mediafire to share wif me or just email me the driver version, or download and install everest, run, send the report to me. I understand how much u luv the 500GB, like i love the 1TB on mine.

    ReplyDelete

  11. I will mail you the drivers on gmail tonight, as I don't have 'em at work now. For Everest, mediafire... I really don't have time for that.
    How come you have 1 TB disk on a netbook? Did you install it yourself? I knew 500GB is the highest on a netbook and I couldn't find another one with 500GB but the Acer D257.

    ReplyDelete

  12. the 1 TB is not on netbook but my desktop, btw i never have a laptop, netbook tablet or etc, i just have this desktop since i was 20.i'll be waiting for ur mail

    ReplyDelete

  13. Hello,

    I've sent you the mail yesterday night. Pls let me know if you got it.
    If you don't have this Acer netbook, why do you need the drivers then? :-D
    I don't like desktops, as you can't move them easily and they don't have a battery and card readers.
    Netbook is very comfortable when you travel or when you wanna read or watch or browse on the sofa or in bed.

    ReplyDelete

  14. If you have problems with installing the driver for the card reader try this:

    It solved my problem.

  15. LAN drivers (both) not working for me. Please help

    ReplyDelete

  16. Try this:

    http://download.cnet.com/Realtek-RTL-Gigabit-and-Fast-Ethernet-NIC-Driver-Windows-2000-XP-XP-64-bit/3000-2112_4-10278840.html

    or this

    http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=6&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

    They work for my LAN.
    If not, install "AIDA64 Extreme edition", go to Network, PCI/PnP, and see the EXACT type of your ethernet adapter, and then google for the appropriate driver.

  17. Guys - 2 points:

    What do you thing about the screen bezel? I have tried to clean it from fingerprints with a TOWEL FOR CLEANING GLASSES and it got scratched!!! That's why I returned the netbook.

    As it seems, that many people want to install XP, I would like to ask Black-x to post on this site the drivers I have sent him.

    Hint: To install some drivers, go to Device Manager, select your device marked by ? and then go to update driver. Point to the directory afterwards. IT WORKS!

    ReplyDelete

  18. may you specified which driver you need to install via device manager and using update driver

    ReplyDelete

  19. LAN drivers not working for me.
    I have Win XP 32 bit
    Please help

    ReplyDelete

  20. Hello, it's me again. Quite a story, I gave my Acer back, bought then HP Mini 5103. It disappointed me VERY much, that the screen opens max. to about 110 degrees, so when I put it on my lap, I can't see the screen, my eyes should be on my belly :-D
    So I brought that one back too and bought again the Acer D257 :-D I do confirm again, that under Windows XP it is NOT freezing.
    My point is... Now I would like to install the AHCI drivers, because I see that disk access is quite slow. I found in the net how to do it without having to reinstall XP.
    But the driver from this webpage says: This computer doesn't meet the requirements...
    PLEASE if anybody was successful in making AHCI in Windows XP work, post here the driver and how you did it. I will be VERY thankful!!

    ReplyDelete

  21. Black-x, could you send the source of the drivers on mediafire.com?
    One should really know something more about drivers installed on his computer, and they should come from an official / trustworthy source.

    ReplyDelete

  22. Hi to both of you

    FIRST: Acer D257
    the error "This computer doesn't meet the requirements" refer to incompatible driver, Have u try the AHCI driver i posted above?

    2nd: IZIBIA
    Thanks for the feedback, i will try to improve my post later on, for your information this blog have about 1000 laptop drivers so to add info for each of them require a lot of work.
    Basically, you can identify the source of the drivers which i uploaded on mediafire base on the driver name, SPXXXX refer to HP/COMPAQ and RXXXX is refer to DELL, while for acer the driver file should contain X86_w7/X64_Wvis etc. For Asus and others there are no exact pattern to determine them,
    Anyway it is a good suggestion since people need to know the the source is it official or unofficial. So there will be changes for next post and a good start for my blog for the incoming new year,
    thanks

    ReplyDelete

  23. Hello Black-x and thanks for writing...
    Yes, I have tried it (if the following is true). I downloaded everything you posted at the beginning of this thread. Chipset, Audio and one thing more worked at the beginning. I have sent you the rest of the drivers, which I have downloaded mainly from Intel's site and you posted them here. At that early time, I said that I don't care about AHCI, and it was the only driver I didn't try from yours. But now I do care... I tried it yesterday and it tells me This computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements and since them I'm fighting with this:
    http://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=o7rmbu0ged1n4qu15ads204lp6&topic=106575.0
    and I can't find the proper driver on Intel's website. I downloaded 1 file from softpedia and will give it a try once I get home. I'll post back and would be happy if you give me some other advices meanwhile :-)

    ReplyDelete

  24. Hello again
    the version AHCI i have right now is:

    ahci_intel_9.5.6.1001.rar
    Intel_AHCI_v8.5.0.1032.zip
    AHCI_Intel_v.7.5.0.1017_XPx86.zip
    sata_ahci_8.9.2.1002.zip


    For now you may test it with this, and I'll do my further research about this model and let you know later.

    ReplyDelete

  25. Hey, Black-x, you've posted quite something here :-) Downloading now and I'll let ya know.
    Meanwhile, there is ANOTHER update from my side... Problems problems... Our Audio driver is bad :-( After resuming from hibernate, there is NO SOUND!! It can be fixed by disabling and reenabling the device, but this is stupid.
    So I've downloaded the latest driver I found on the Realtek homw page:

    http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

    AND IT WORKS!!!
    Can't paste the direct link here, so please download it (6th from the top or the .zip below) and post it kindly here, so that we have everything in one place :-)

    Thank you and I'll report back on the AHCI!

    ReplyDelete

  26. Hi back there,

    this time - bad news. None of these drivers worked :-( The two which had setup.exe inside, are sayint The computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements...
    The other 2 I've tried via Device Manager / Update driver. It says it couldn't update the driver. I'm about to get the feeling we're dealing with something REALLY exotic here (MacOSX86 project, if it means something to you...)

    ReplyDelete

  27. Hi there,

    1. I,m glad that you solve the sound driver problem, and don't worry about the link coz Realtek newer vesion always suppot older version.

    2. If there is device in device manager which represent the AHCI, can you get me the hardware id? (note: in BIOS for most acer model you can switch sata mode from IDE to AHCI)

    3. About MacOSX86 project, I'm successfully install Kalyway_10.5.2_DVD_Intel_Amd (snow leopard) in my AMD, quad boot with 7, xp, ubuntu and OS X and it work great, later i uninstall it.
    After i upgrade my RAM to 14GB i just install the OSX in my virtual machine.

    P/S: cool stuff to try:
    -chrome OS
    -ubuntu ultimate

    ReplyDelete

  28. Hi Black-X

    Regarding 2:
    In Device Manager, I see:
    Intel (R) 82801 GB/GR/GH (ICH7 family) Serial ATA Storage Controller - 27C0.
    I'm not sure what exactly do you mean by Hardware ID, but when I right-click the above mentioned device, go then to Properties, select the Details tab and choose the Hardware Ids item from the drop-down menu, I'm getting the following:

    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C0&SUBSYS_05901025&REV_02
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C0&SUBSYS_05901025
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C0&CC_01018F
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C0&CC_0101

    I hope that this info is enough.

    Regarding 3:
    My big laptop is Lenovo SL500. I never managed to install any OS X on the bare hardware and I've tried several versions, including Kalyway :-( Anyway, I managed to run it successfully in VMware. And never started it since then :-D
    14 GB RAM - wooow!! I'm planning on getting a laptop with 8GB RAM :-) But you have a desktop, that's another league. I just hate desktops ;-)

    So, pls let me know. Take care ;-)

  29. Hello,

    I have installed Windows 7 Professional, 32-bit and the system passed the preliminary test successfully (downloading the whole Fedora 16 DVD) and it didn't freeze. I will be testing it further, I think it will be faster than XP (at least because of AHCI). I'll have a look for comparison how my VMs run. Maybe I'll report back for clarity.
    Many thanks to Black-x for his great work and I think this is an outstanding support page for XP on Acer D257! The best site I could find!

    If you want to download them for official website :

    Video : Intel GMA3150 on intel website
    Wireless : Intel windows XP ICS_x32
    Lan : Realtek LAN Driver_XP_5790_11182011
    Card reader : Realtek_PCIE_WHQL_6.1.7601.85_nD3
    Audio : Audio_Realtek_6.0.1.5958_XP

  40. no i get another yellow device parport device and serial device

    ReplyDelete
    Replies

    1. can you get the hardware ID for both of them

      Delete

    2. no i can't i just see yellow hardware parport and serial, can you tell me how to remove the yellow hardware in parport and serial?? what's the problem??

      Delete

    3. The yellow parport and serial normally occur because of:

      -The computer was not equipped with parallel port hardware.

      -The computer was equipped with parallel port hardware, but the parallel port hardware had been disabled in the ROM BIOS.

      But it done no harm and you can ignore it, this only happen in windows Xp and Windows 2000.

      You can also right click and select disable to remove it from device manager.
      Your case is not rare, there are thousands of model having the same problem and normally it happen to notebook that design for windows 7 but installed with win XP. (D257 designed for win 7).
      You can solve it by change the HAL but the risk is you will not be able to start your windows in you select the wrong HAL.

      My suggestion, ignore it, unless find your system unstable, shut down automatically or error code 24. (in most cases it is related to printer driver installation - solutions require ifthe printer is not working properly)
