After drivers for formation machine specifically the USB 3 driver as the acer site only does windows 8 drivers for some stupid reason cheers for any help
Hi Darkstar,
Obviously acer are only supporting Win 8 you ould try driver from here http://drp.su/drivers/notebooks/?v=a...id=171487&l=en but I haven't got a Revo so cannot comment on their suitability hope you find some
Best way to do this is manually using PCIVendors Database.
We will need to know the USB 3 Hardware manufacturers Vendor ID.
To do this, go to Device Manager, Right Click the USB Device and goto Properties. Under Details, select Hardware ID's.
Post what VID/PID/REV details are in there and I'll help find the Driver for you.
Thank you both fir fast help
I use the DriverPack Solution tool daily and USB3 drivers are the only one it struggles with, even after installing all drivers there is an exclamation mark in Device Manager so I manually get the driver from the manufacturer and install.
I assume you are sorted now but if not lmk.
I had a nightmare getting windows 7 on one of these. Nearly gave up and gave the guy windows 8. But... I managed it. Just can't remember how.
Ive got Win7 on my RL80 and got Usb3 working. Im sure I kept all the drivers in a folder. I can take a look tomorrow as not near my revo. I think only the front 2 ports are usb3.
I would love to put an SSD in it but I dont think its a straight forward swap.
Not got it sorted just yet it's a a friends with some stupid pop up rsdisvc virus as well thanks for all advise will reply when got it back
Ive found the USB3 drivers for the RL80, pm me when you are readyand ill stick it in Dropbox for you.
Regards
Bub
Nice one mate thank you very much
Emailed you dropbox link, USB3 should be fine now on W7
Oh it is and the performance increase is incredible. ;)Quote:

Do you know if there is a walkthrough in fitting an SSD in an RL80? I opened mine up but to get to the hard drive is not straight forward.Quote:

I assumed they were very similar to the RL70 as per this tear down guide, but could be wrong.

I put an SSd into my r3610 thinking it would make navigating menus in xbmc very snappy and it didn't make a great difference. I am using Marcus MQ skin though which might explain it...

Evilsatan my RL80 is my main PC, its pretty nippy once its booted up but its boots up time are embarrassing. It should be a lot quicker considering its an i3 processor. In fact my Revo 3700 boots W7 quicker. It doesn't matter too much for me as I never turn the RL80 off. I reckon its been designed for Windows 8 only, that's why it has its little niggles
I will acept the plonker hole heartedly must wear my glass more !!
all working much better thank you
