forum.notebookreview.com: I finally managed to enable the WiFi on my Acer 5024 in Windows Vista x64. It really seems that the only known way to enable it is using the Launch Manager's wbutton.exe

This is what I did:
1) Downloaded Launch Manager for Windows XP x64 from Acer's FTP (ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/note...er/launmgr.zip)
2) After unpacking the ZIP to a temp folder, I changed the properties (the Compatibility tab) of setup.exe to "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows Server 2003 (Service Pack 1)" and set the Privilege Level to "Run this program as an administrator."
3) Then I installed the Launch Manager by launching the setup.exe file. What is interesting is that wbutton.exe only gets installed when the compatibility mode / admin mode was set.
4) When asked to reboot, I instead tweaked the contents of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Launch Manager" first: For all the .exe files in that folder, I also set the compatibility mode and administrator mode (the same thing as I did for setup.exe before).
5) Then I rebooted. When I logged in, I was presented with a series of dialogs about all those programs needing a permissions, which I gave.
6) After this, the Launch Manager icon actually appeared in the tray, and all Launch Manager utilities including wbutton seem to work. I was able to enable the WiFi and it works.

Hope this helps!
I guess a similar approach might work for the 32bit version of Vista - just maybe rather try Windows XP SP 2 compatibility mode instead of 2003.
