needing Windows 8 direct download drivers link for an Acer (Model Aspire X3810) desktop
Hello and Good Evening Everyone,
Tonight, I wiped my Acer Aspire desktop which had Windows 7 on it and installed Windows 8 onto it. Everything went well with the exception of the need for drivers. I have 2 entries under the category of Other devices which are in need of correct drivers. The 2 entries are Multimedia Video Controller and Video Controller.
Any help given in response to my request will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
George

Hello and Good Evening Everyone,
I believe it will be of my best interest to stick with Windows 7 in this particular instance. With that point in mind, could someone provide a driver download link for Windows 7 x64?
Thank you.

Hello and Good Afternoon,
Thank you so much Gary for the followup link. It certainly matches up perfectly to the specs of my Acer desktop. There were 2 different video drivers, ATI and nVidia. I did try both of them, but, neither would resolved the conflicting entry of Multimedia Video Controller within Other Devices of Device Manager. I am wondering if it would be okay to leave this entry because all of the hardware of the Acer desktop is working just fine.

It's okay to leave it -- it won't hurt anything. But do you by any chance have a TV Tuner in the system? If so, that's likely what you need the driver for to resolve that Device Manager issue.

Hello and Good Morning
Thank you Gary for your followup suggestions. Upon further and more detailed look at this situation, I was able to the Vendor ID and Device ID from Device Manager for the device in question. The code strings are as follows:
PCI\VEN_14F1&DEV_8852&SUBS
PCI\VEN_14F1&DEV_8852&SUBS
PCI\VEN_14F1&DEV_8852&CC_0
PCI\VEN_14F1&DEV_8852&CC_0
In addition, I did carry out the recommended Microsoft updates. However, I did not carry out the optional updates because I figured the needed driver would probably not be there.
With respect the the TV tuner, I do not believe there is one present on this machine. If you should need more information or if you have further questions, please feel free to post and I will respond back as soon as possible.
Once again, many thanks Gary for your followups.
Have a great day : - )

Hello and Good Evening Everyone,
As always, I certainly enjoyed reading over the feedback given in reply to my question in addition to trying out the suggested troubleshooting strategies. In order to stay more consistent with the driver support offered by Acer, I went ahead and reverted the operating system back to Windows 7. The entry of Other Devices with Multimedia Video Controller contained within it still exist within the Device Manager despite of using Windows Update and Slimdrivers. As Gary Case noted, the removal of the LeadTek WinFast TV tuner card would certainly resolve this conflicting driver entry within Device Manager. I did try the two analog TV drivers on the Acer download site namely the AverMedia ATSC card and the Yuan card, but, the conflicting entry of Multimedia Video Controller within Other Devices of Device Manager remained despite of this effort. Since the conflicting entry within Device Manager is not offsetting the functionality of the desktop in any way, I have decided to cease any further troubleshooting efforts.
In closing, many thanks once again Gary and Nobus for your help. Your past and continued feedback to my questions on EE are always welcomed and certainly instrumental in resolving my concerns.
Have a great upcoming week.
George

have a good christmas time also !
I looked at Intel's site to see if I could find the G43 chipset drivers for you. According to Intel, these are available ONLY through Windows Update -- i.e. Intel doesn't provide them for direct download.
In addition, their support matrix indicates that while they're available for Windows 8, they are NOT available for Windows 8.1 .... which did you install ??
