HELP!! Advent 7110 Drivers

[Sean Matthews]

Has anyone got all of the device drivers for an Advent 7110 Laptop? They are apparently in a tools folder on the c:/ drive and in a recovery partition (non-DOS). I've had to format one of these and it would seem after a bit of research, that PC World have monopolised this product and are the only place to acquire the device drivers...at an extortionate cost of course. PC World have been as much help as a chocolate fireguard as usual and there doesnt seem to be any net support either.

Thanks in advance.

Sean.

Absolutely superb!!! Thankyou so much. It's basically working now. One thing missing which you could possibly help with, USB2 driver. The USB port is the only thing that is'nt working now;

Intel(r) 82801fb/fbm usb2 enhanced host controller 265c driver

It doesn't work even after installing the updated chipset drivers?

Any idea's where to look for this, the links to Microsoft don't point directly to a driver?

USB 2.0 support comes from installing Service Pack 1 or 2. Without the sp, all you will get is USB 1.1 support.

I upgraded an Advent 7110 laptop to Vista and had a few problems with drivers etc. In partricular the sound card and the memory card reader. I found the following site very helpful:

They had all the drivers I needed, just scroll down to the bottom and its all divided into hardware categories.

I only post because I found in my searches several forums discussing where to find these files and many were not answered, so here it is, Enjoy.
