Hi, this is mostly for people with experience with computers.
I've aquired a new notebook, acer aspire 5520 but unfortunately it comes with vista.
I decided to downgrade it and install the old-reliable XP for the moment. I've downloaded all the needed drivers from the acer. however, im getting problems when trying to install the VGA driver. i am getting the following message:
"the actual location is not right, change it and insert "NVIDIA Windows 2000/XP Driver LIbrary installation Disk 1"
PS: i downloaded all drivers from the official website.
thanks for your time!

Edit: Disregard that, i should read more closely.
Your VGA adapter is the 7000m.
Nvidia apparently never released an XP driver for the 7000m, which means basically no love for XP, unless you can find a compatible one floating around the interwebs.

thank mas. I tried the NVidia webpage and found a generic driver for XP notebooks, apparently is working. Thanks anyway!

If you can, go back to Vista. It'll be a lot easier.
Vista is better, more stable, and all-in-all a fantastic piece of software. Only complaint to be made nowadays about it is it takes a lot more memory than XP. Despite that, it's a far superior operating system, unless your PC happens to have less than 2gb of memory.
edit: ninja'd. If the drivers you found work fine, then whatever.
