You need to go to the Acer website and download the drivers for the notebook. Start with the chipset drivers. "So won’t you give this man his wings What a shame To have to beg you to see We’re not all the same What a shame" - Shinedown

And when you get a chance, ask your wife to give you a class or two in punctuation & capitalization.

You can go this Acer website to download wireless adapter driver, after that test to connect to wireless network. If you need help to connect laptop to wireless network, take a look on this wireless adapter configuration in XP article. Hope it helps..
