    Hi, I recently formatted my Acer Aspire One D260-A with Windows XP (when installing I got a missing DSQUERY error which I skipped). Once windows was installed I installed all the drivers on the Acer website, however I could not install the WLAN driver (I have tried the Atheros, Broadcom and Realtek drivers) as when I tried it gives me this error:

    "The Device may not be present or could have been ejected/unplugged from the system.

    Insert or Reinsert now."

    Also when I go through device manager and try to install the Network Controller which has a yellow "?". It doesn't allow me to install, even with the windows CD in and telling it to locate the drivers I have on USB.

    I don't believe my Wifi is actually turned on as the orange light is very dim, and when I press Fn and F3 for the wireless, nothing happens, however I don't think the Fn function can be a problem because all other functions work (such as disable touchpad/mute/numlock etc).

    Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this, any advice would be appreciated?

    Thanks in advance,
    Andy
