Driver:

I’ve heard some people were having a hard time looking for the Windows XP drivers of the Acer Aspire 4730z laptop, so i am posting them here. The drivers were re-compressed using 7zip to reduced the file size for faster downloads. If you do not have 7zip installed then you have to download 7zip here and install it.



Download the Acer Aspire 4730z drivers for Windows XP below.


Chipset Intel driver

VGA Intel driver

Audio Realteak driver

Modem Agere driver

LAN Realtek driver

Touch Pad Synaptics driver

Card Reader JMicro driver

Launch Manager download

Wireless LAN Atheros driver

I did not include the webcam driver here since Windows XP automatically detected and installed it as USB video device.

For those Acer Aspire 4730z that has bluetooth module enabled, here is the bluetooth driver.

Update: added intel vga driver which you can download below.
