Bought an Acer V3-772G-9829 from Amazon recently as a desktop replacement. It came with Windows 8 pre-installed but I have a Windows 7 Ultimate install disk and wanted it on there. I successfully installed Windows 7 Ultimate, but I lost my driver backup. I checked the Acer website,ll while the drivers listed only "officially" support Windows 8/8.1 most have worked fine for me.

However, I still have 3 big issues
1. The computer does not recognize when I connect an ethernet cable to the ethernet port. (Wifi works great)

2. Whenever I try to install the drivers for the nVidia graphics card it keeps telling me I need to install Intel drivers first, without telling me which ones.

3. I can't get the computer to read either the USB 2.0 or 3.0 ports

Specs
Intel i7-4702MP 2.2 GHz CPU
nvidia GeForce GT 750M

How do I find the name of the chipset? Device manager? I found the driver for the ethernet port, but I have to go into the network menu and disable wifi before it will go to the wired connection. How do I fix that? I appreciate all the help so far.

Got the internet working and found the Intel drivers that nVidia wanted. Now I'm down to just the USB outlets. Once again appreciate the answers corroded & scout_03.
