Acer Aspire 5100-5840 Update AGAIN! AGAIN!! DONE for real!

After I did the system restore and updated the BIOS to accept the upgraded processor I downloaded ALL of the Vista updates, AVG Free, C Cleaner, Ad-Aware, Auslogics Disc Defrag, Registry Cleaner, and a couple of others.
As soon as I tried to get on line through my wireless I knew there was a problem. I'm going to spare you with all of the BORING details, my fix was installing the latest driver from Atheros "Click Here for site" The wireless card in my Acer 5100 refused to even identify my network with WPA/ WPA2 encryption, but connected right away if I set the network to open with no encryption. Installing the correct driver will instantly fix this issue.
The Acer has been running like a champ for the last week or so now, with all of the upgrades, and a clean install of Vista, it is running like a champ. Finally! I think this thing MAY be finished! LOL!

Later all!
