Thank you very much...

Thank you, very useful

I want to send out a huge thanks - I bought my 5735 yesterday and was on the hunt for these XP Drivers.

One question, where is the (or when can I get it from) SATA Driver for XP (for my slip-stream approach much like the one you have illustrated for the 5370 here http://komku.blogspot.com/2008/11/acer-aspire-5730-aspire-5330-windows-xp.html where you supply the required SATA XP Driver.)

The HD in my 5735 is a "Hitachi HTS543216L9A300 ATA Device"

Someones support would be most greatfully received.

I would require the SATA XP Driver to create the required XP SlipStream Install Disk in order to succesfully install XP (as we all know XP fails to recognise the SATA HD's.)

In advance - I thank you, your work is STERLING!

Bro~thank you very much for the drivers but after installing all my Acer as 5735-4774 still need one driver for sm bus controller
it is mother board, right? can you give me one? thanks!

install UPDATE 1 :)

Good work BUT

I require the SATA XP Driver to create the required XP SlipStream Install Disk in order to succesfully install XP (as we all know XP fails to recognise the SATA HD's.)

Someone help me - I HATE VISTA!

Apolgoies for the REPORT above, I didn't realised you had answered my inital POST at the top of the PAGE.

Thanks for the SATA driver, I will try that and post back here later.

In advance in the nlite process for adding the SATA drivers - is it possible to add all of the XP drivers which you have enlisted above - or would I need to install these Drivers post XP installation?

Thanks

It is better to install it post XP installation....
btw, after windows installation, install chipset driver first...

I have an error when trying to install Intel Storage Manager :| tried with 3 different versions (7.5, yours and the latest one from the intel website). I have an Acer Aspire 5735Z.

The error is :

This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. Setup will exit.

What can I do ?

Open Device Manager...
if have no unknown device.. you don't have to install intel matrix storage :)

Thanks a lot for your quick response. I don't need AHCI or RAID as I have only one HDD. Or are there some other benefits for AHCI ? Got confused for why I can't install the software :)). Thanks a lot.

read this (why AHCI) :)

Need net drivers so I can view cool sites like http://www.pricelessweddings.com.au

Some additional help for XP-installing problem with SATA HDD. I was changing in the BIOS the HDD SATA mode from AHCI to IDE. After reboot, my XP-Install disc recognized my SATA HITACHI HDD successfully and went through the install process failureless.

I just forget to tell a GREAT THANKS for this driver collection, and also for the useful posts. My only question: Why don't provide all these things the official acer web-site? The product type listing is "finished" at Aspire 5720!?
*Nyami from HUN*

First I want to say THANK YOU for your great help. Could you please provide the mirror download sites for the Acer Aspire 5735 - 5735Z Windows Vista - Vista SP1 Drivers? it takes me forever to download just 1 driver. I greatly appreciate it.

OK.. I will make mirror for it :)

wow, such a really useful info
my friends often get confused to search somewhat drivers for their PCs
i think they don't need to anymore
thanks for the info :)

Hi..Thanks for the above drivers...you're really a life saver! I have an issue though, my laptop is a 5735, but I can't seem to find the sound drivers. I downloaded and installed the Realtek Audio drivers for XP but no sound comes out. I'm just wondering what else I need to install...Please help me out. Thanks

With regards to the SATA drive , go intot he BIO and change the SATA drive option to IDE and then XP will install without a hitch.

Why I cannot do anything with my wireless connection? My laptop cannot see the Wi-Fi, even after Broadcom wireless driver installation! What can be the issue? Thanks!

I was from. Your blog is very interesting to read my attention.
nice to meet u =)

Try install this XP patch KB888111 (Download) before install Audio driver... :)

I'm waiting your report ...
Thanks

Re: Why I cannot do anything with my wireless connection? My laptop cannot see the Wi-Fi, even after Broadcom wireless driver installation! What can be the issue? Thanks!

Have you tried another WLAN driver such as Atheros, Intel, and Ralink yet?

if your laptop is Centrino system, then the wifi must be Intel... if not a Centrino system, try atheros, or ralink.

for sound problem... beside install XP patch KB888111, try to install it Microsoft UAA before install Audio driver...(if sound driver already installed, please uninstall it first)
Download Microsoft UAA (Download)

I installed the patch and the Microsoft UAA, but still, nothing doing. What am I doing wrong? :(

Hello. Thanks for all above sharing. They were really useful. I installed Win XP on my 5735 model and also all the required drivers. But I would like to address three issues I faced after installation and would be very grateful if somebody helps me.
1 - When I run 'dxdiag' to look at my system resources I see that the memory of graphic card is 256 Mb instead of 1308 Mb that it was supposed to be with Vista installation.
2 - I see that my backup battery gets discharged to quickly (~1 hour or less). Is this a general problem with these series or I need to install any program to manage this.
3 - When I view my RAM memory from windows (dxdiag) it is 3000 Mb. When I see from BIOS it is 4096 Mb. If this 1000 Mb is shared for any hardware what may it be? (remember my graphic card takes only 256 Mb with XP).
Waiting for your promt reply. Thanks again

Thanks a lot, today i buyed a Aspire 5735 and now i think i have a most better laptop, because running Xp no Vista, THANK YOU A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello -I recently installed Windows XP Pro on a new Acer 5735-4774. I have been able to find all the drivers excluding:
Network Controller
PCI Device
SM BUS Controller

Is there any chance you can provide me with them?
Thanks for the time and effort!

This sound problem is driving me insane

Hi,

Did you try to look at the back side of your laptop?
I have a AA 5735Z model no. ms22s3 and in additional info it says:

"Contains transmitted module:
Atheros AR5B91
..."

Same drivers are installed in device manager.
Driver details are:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\athw.sys
provider: Atheros Communications, Inc.
file ver: 7.6.1.184
copyright: 2001-2007 AC, Inc. All
digital signer: MS Windows Hardvare Compatibility

Hope it helps.

Anybody knows how to increase the video shared memory of my 5735Z ?
There's no way inside the BIOS to change this value. Can I do it with the EMPOWERING TECH software?

Errr... bluetooth is not working although the driver is installed, when I press on the BLUETOOTH button a missage appears telling that there's no hardware suitable.

...and I wonder know how can a bluetooth driver be installed if there's no such hardware phisically built inside the notebook...

SATA Drivers for 5735z-4774
I downloaded the SATA drivers and incorporated them with Nlite but i still can't see the hd? I've switched bios to IDE also?
Can anyone who succesfully did this outline what they did?
Did you select ALL drivers in Nlite or specifically one?
Thanks

Network Controller: install LAN driver (Download)
for PCI Device and SM BUS (System Management BUS) Controller install chipset driver (Download)

1. Intel VGA has Intel® Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT)... it is a method for dynamically allocating system memory for use as graphics memory to balance 2D/3D graphics and system performance. If your computer is configured to use DVMT (go to BIOS > set to Max DVMT), graphics memory is allocated based on system requirements and application demands (up to the configured maximum amount). When memory is no longer needed by an application, the dynamically allocated portion of memory is returned to the operating system for other uses.

2. do not use "Maximum Performance" profile when you not need it... Change the setting on Windows XP power management... or install ePower Management for XP

3. 32bit Windows XP will only able to see about 3Giga RAM (Vista 32bit will see 4Giga RAM but will only able to use 3Giga)... to use all 4Giga RAM you need to use 64Bit Operating System....

and you can't use Acer Empowering technology to change Graphic memory...

please make sure that you aspire laptop type is built in with Bluetooth...try to look info at the back side of your laptop.. when you install bluetooth driver, don't forget turn on bluetooth.

If you switched sata mode to IDE you don't need ahci driver anymore...
download nLite and ahci driver... follow this guide (slipstreaming driver with nLite)

I Cant do eny thing but thanking u for your great job persons like u make our life much better

Hi,

Could you please put the ahci sata driver to a different location -- other than mediafire -- It's kinda blocked in my workplace.

Many thanks,

Helló!

I have problem with ACHI driver. I can install on my XP.
My hard drive is WDC WD2500BEVT-22ZCT0-(PM). Maybe i need another ACHI driver? Where can i found?

*can not
I can not install this ACHI driver to XP. It says, I have not this device.

Cahya, thanks for above comments.
I wonder if you can help me out with another issue I run into after installing XP drivers.
When my system logs on I get the below error messages:

" The instruction at 'xxxx' referenced memory at 'xxxx'. The memory could not be 'read'
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program "

and after that the message:

"Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If you were in the middle of something ... etc etc "

I've searched in many forums to get the solution but with no success. I've tried this steps:
1 - Opened in safe mode (pressing F8) but the error still appeared
2 - Run sfc.exe /scannow but no errors
3 - Increased my virtual memory
4 - Finally I installed SP3 as this was suggested by someone but the problem still isn't fixed.

I read that some user had uninstalled the latest driver installed and the problem got resolved,
but unfortunately I don't remember which driver I installed before I got the above errors.
Can you suggest me something else I could try. Thanks

Another thing I forgot. The error header is "Aplication Error - Explorer.exe"

Solved.. Uninstalled certain drivers and after restart is ok ..

hey dude.. I have Acer 5735 Windows Vista... I have gotta button for bluetooth but for some reason its not working. Wheneva i press it ... it gives an error sayin "NO BLUETOOTH DEVICE". Can you explain what should I do to run my bluetooth? thanks

Hi. Need Vita driver for Atheros AR5B91 For Acer Extensa 4630Z. If anyone has an idea where I can find this, I would really appreciate it.

Just got a 5735z and converted over to XP. Thanks so much for the drivers, and especially for the tips on the audio patch/driver install sequence. That saved me a lot of troubleshooting. Cheers!

For anonymous@11:31 asking about the bluetooth error...some 5735 models (like mine) do not have a bluetooth radio, but the button is still there. Sorry, but if there is no bluetooth radio, no driver will help and the button is not functional. You could easily add bluetooth with a usb bluetooth device.

Thanks! :D

Do these drivers work with 64bit XP?

how to access bios for Acer Aspire 5735Z?

Thanks

I got to questions:

1. Where to download the lattest BIOS version for my 5735Z
2. When trying to play Kaplan language tool i got an error
message "MCI driver not installed, consult sound driver
manual .. etc". How to fix this MCI driver problem.

Thanks for any suggestion

100 % ok ! merci beaucoup !

Hi, I got the Aspire 5735Z but my windows vista was Danish, so I installed an English version and installed all the drivers that you have uploaded here. I still have several problems..like there's a button beyond the escape button which doesn't work [Acer empowering Technology "The system cannot find the files specified" ] this is what I receive. The other thing is with the display adapter where the Standard VGA Graphics adapter enconters a problem..and respectfully there is a problem with the Video Controller. If you can support any solution to my problems it would be perfect ;)

Gracie mille!

Many thanks for you help. I appear to have got everything working apart from the ACHI drivers one installer says you dont meet min system requirements and I believe another stated I required Vista to install.

Another driver also had no .exe file and device manager didnt recognize the folder as containing any driver files?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

Hi,

I just bought ACER ASPIRE 5735, and for some reason it keeps on hanging while i am working on it. Could this be because of compatibility issue with VISTA?

my English is very low, but anyway thanks for the post, the truth, I have visited many websites looking for these drivers and several of these are referred to this blog, but I have a doubt, I have a problem with the audio driver in windows xp, sometimes when you play a song sounds bad, it sounds choppy or espaces as if the file was a bad listener, please if anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate.

download and use this sata ahci driver (Download)
to slipstream it to Windows XP CD follow this guide (slipstream driver with nlite)

or you may try to change sata mode to IDE mode over BIOS... (XP will easily detect the HDD) follow this guide

Thank you very much - life saving list. Going to try these vista drivers out on Windows 7.

If any of you are still trying to figure out how to get sound working on the aspire 5735 here is what I did to get it going...
I installed the microsoft hotfix (the second one posted that I actually downloaded from microsoft) and then installed the realtek audio driver and rebooted. Still no sound and no sound device recognized in the control panel. I went to the device manager (right click on my computer and select properties) and noticed that there was a PCI device that was not recognized. If you have installed the chipset driver and have a device unrecognized it is probably the sound card. To fix the problem I right-clicked on the unrecognized device and uninstalled it and rebooted.

On reboot windows finds the hardware and asks if it can connect to windows update to find the best driver. Select yes. On the next screen select install the driver automatically. Windows update recognizes the hardware and installs the driver you already have. Continue to go through this process until all devices are installed.

Hi all,

Hoping someone can help me. I've recently bought an Acer Aspire 5735Z, and am yet another person that wants to roll back to XP. Anyway, I have installed XP (service pack 3), everything ok apart from wireless issues. It sees the wireless router and even connects - seems to work fine for about 2 minutes and then grinds to a halt!

I'm just wondering if I need different drivers for XP SP3?

Thanks in advance for any help...I'm desperate!

DH

Hi!
