    About 30mins after installing that driver my AAO 150 packed it in with a bluescreen (Vista). It will no longer boot into Vista, not even in safe mode. The error is:

    STOP: 0x0000006B "Process1_ Initialization_Failed"

    Not sure if this is a direct result of the driver or not, but I thought I better add it here just in case. Might need to do a repair on the Vista install to get it back working.

    Thanks !
    I install the driver on my 150 with Vista and all updates available.
    After 1 day of use it seem to be a litle bit faster on AC power and more stable.
    The best thing to do is when you install this drivers on Vista is to install them manually and the most important thing to chose the "ndis6x" folder for the right drivers.
    No problem so far like MartinQ.

    Sorry, my bads...me sleepy long time. :mrgreen:


    Edit:

    Tried it out, seems to be a lot faster than the driver provided by Acer but on the downside it's very unstable and seems more resource hungry to say the least...I'll wait for an update from Acer (which I highly doubt will happen) to fix out bugs.

    Any chance you can post the 7.6.1.140 driver up? Tried searching via Google but no luck (all Chinese sites).

    Oops! The file is too big to be uploaded here :shock:
    Since I don't have any free web space server account, how about I send the file to you via email?
