Also, is there any chance you could borrow a network adapter off a friend (either USB or one that fits in the expansion ports) to check? :)Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:46:20 GMTMartenReedhttp://forum.micromart.co.uk/Topic279581-62-1.aspxThanks for that thought Alex. I deleted the driver and installed the one from the Asus website but the problem is no different.</P><P>Thank you for the input.Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:00:48 GMTwake6http://forum.micromart.co.uk/Topic279581-62-1.aspxhave you installed the laptop creators driver? check their site for it, or they might be on the recovery CD in a folder called drivers or programs.<br><br>what might be happening is windows is using its own driver which does not work correctly.Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:18:08 GMTalex3410http://forum.micromart.co.uk/Topic279581-62-1.aspxI am having wifi problems with my Acer Aspire 7720G laptop, with Windows Vista Home Premium. It performs flawlessly when using the setup on the 250Gb Western Digital drive that it shipped with, even after performing a system recovery from the recovery partition.</P><P>However, I wanted to install a faster hard drive so have fitted a Seagate momentus 7200rpm 200Gb hard drive. I created a recovery DVD and used this recover the laptop with the Seagate HD installed. Now the wifi connection keeps dropping, despite the laptop being literally less than a foot from the router and showing a 100% five bar signal strength just before the connection is lost. The connection comes and goes. Everything apart from wifi seems to perform perfectly. Uninstalling the wifi cards driver and allowing Windows to reinstall it does not help. As a test I changed the hard drive to a 160Gb western digital model that I have and "recovered" the factory installation to it and it showed the same problems.</P><P>I have upgraded to Vista XP1 but this has not helped.</P><P>I have replaced the router but the problems persist. I can connect to the router flawlessly with my Asus EEE PC.</P><P>I wonder if anyone has any idea as to what the problem could be or what I could do to find out? I have Googled but with no success. Thank you.</P><P>Tech specs: </P><P>Acer Aspire 7720G<BR>Intel T7700 dual core 2.4 Ghz CPU<BR>3Gb RAM (one 2Gb, one 1Gb sticks)<BR>Hard drives - see above<BR>Windows Vista Home Premium<BR>Mon, 14 Apr 2008 09:01:26 GMTwake6
