Looking for W7 64 bit driver for Acer Veriton M464

[speckytecky]

We have a couple of Acer Veriton M464 machines that I'm looking to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. Popping the OS on everything is tidy apart from the fact that under Network Adapters the Coprocessor hasn't picked up a driver.

 

The Acer support doesn't have one available. Any suggestions please?

 

I did upgrade a sister M464 with W 7 32 bit and that one's ok.

go onto device manager, look at the properties of the device, go to details tab, then hardware ID. What are the VEN and DEV numbers?

Got it sorted. Thread can be closed. Good old Windows 7 - it's a beaut!

Thanks @Joanne I'd posted my latest before seeing your message. No thanks button for some unknown reason so I've given you a Rep instead.

I downloaded Lan_NVIDIA_67.7.2_Vistax64_A.zip and tried to run that. It didn't seem to do anything after decompressing and running the app. I went away and did something else for a while then restarted the PC and it asked for another restart when it Configured from I think the NVIDIA package several updates (Graphics, LAN to mention but two) and that seemed to sort it - odd or what? It's now asking for a further NVIDIA update but anyhow now it's connecting to tinternet and is downloading 209 updates - I'm guessing that that's likely to include the Graphics driver again anyhow.

I hate to say this

 

Windows update is alright at finding most graphics drivers (Even LAN and wireless driver updates)

Fair comment but the initial problem was The Coprosessor Driver was missing and the machine had LAN access but not Internet access. The Acer Support site looks excellent but the only driver it offered for Win7 was an Audio one. The machine shipped with Vista. Their Chat was no flipping good - the machine's about 5 years old and the chap pointed out that even though it wasout of warranty he would try and help but came up with nowt!
