Hi, I just installed XP on my aspire 5920, and most of the drivers installed without a hitch, but when I tried to install the video driver, I had some issues. Anyone know whats up?

Yes, I have tried both the driver from acer(panam) and the one from laptopvideo2go.com. Neither one will install properly.
If I try the setup.exe, I am told that it can not locate the proper driver for my hardware.
If I try the 'Have Disk' method, I am told that 'The location specified does not describe your hardware' or something to that effect.

I have tried with both the modded inf AND the original. I am at a loss. I figured out what the 'Unknown Device" was (iR port) and installed it. But I WANT MY FRACKING VIDEO CARD!

I now see that you have the 5920, not the 5920G. So you only have to go to Intel for this:

Or this one, I'm not sure.

The 5920G model has the nVidia, see note 5 here:
