Acer Aspire One D150 Drivers for Windows XP & 7 (Official Links No Longer Available)

Quick answer: Acer no longer offers working download links for the Aspire One D150 (AOD150) on its official support site. This page documents which drivers this netbook needs for Windows XP 32-bit and Windows 7 32-bit, how to find out which ones your unit actually uses, the right installation order, and where archived copies can still be found.

Official vendor status: The Acer Aspire One D150 was released in 2008 and is long discontinued. At the time of this update (October 2026), Acer's official support pages no longer provide working driver downloads for this model, and Acer has not replaced them with newer packages. Because the manufacturer no longer hosts the files, the only options left are archived copies from third-party driver libraries or community threads. This blog does not host any driver files itself.

Acer Aspire One D150: Specifications

Model	Acer Aspire One D150 / AOD150 (10.1" netbook)
Processor	Intel Atom N270 or N280
Chipset	Mobile Intel 945GSE Express

Storage	SATA hard drive
Wireless	Varies by unit: Atheros, Broadcom or Intel
Operating systems	Windows XP 32-bit, Windows 7 32-bit (Starter/Home Premium)

This is a 32-bit-only machine. Windows 8, 10 and 11 are not officially supported, and 64-bit Windows cannot be installed on the Atom N270/N280 chips used in most units.

Step 1: Check Which Hardware Your Unit Has

Acer shipped several D150 variants with different wireless cards, touchpads and webcams, so do not install every driver on a list. Installing the wrong wireless or camera package can cause errors or leave the device unrecognized.

Open Device Manager (right-click My Computer / Computer > Properties > Hardware / Device Manager).
Find devices with a yellow question mark or exclamation mark.
Right-click a device > Properties > Details (Windows 7) and choose Hardware Ids.
Look at the VEN_xxxx code to identify the maker:

Vendor ID	Manufacturer
`VEN_168C`	Atheros
`VEN_14E4`	Broadcom
`VEN_8086`	Intel
`VEN_10EC`	Realtek

Match that maker with the matching driver in the tables below.

Bluetooth	Foxconn	5.1.0.4500	54.6 MB
Camera	LiteOn	5.8.33.005	5.3 MB
Card reader	Realtek	6.0.6000.75	6.8 MB
Chipset	Intel	8.3.0.1018	2.0 MB
LAN (Ethernet)	Atheros	1.0.0.30	2.5 MB
TouchPad	Synaptics	12.0.4.0	14.7 MB
VGA (graphics)	Intel	6.14.10.4926	17.3 MB
Wireless LAN	Atheros	7.6.0.260	5.3 MB
Wireless LAN	Broadcom	4.170.75.0	4.4 MB
Wireless LAN	Intel	12.1.0.14	44.0 MB

Drivers for Windows 7 32-bit

Device	Vendor	Version	Approx. size
Audio	Realtek	6.0.1.5888	59.1 MB
Card reader	Realtek	6.1.7100.30094	7.2 MB
Chipset	Intel	9.1.1.1020	2.4 MB
LAN (Ethernet)	Atheros	1.0.0.10	4.5 MB
TouchPad	ALPS	7.5.2002.1107	9.1 MB
TouchPad	Synaptics	14.0.4.0	29.1 MB
VGA (graphics)	Intel	8.15.10.1867	22.8 MB
Wireless LAN	Atheros	8.0.0.225	5.5 MB
Wireless LAN	Broadcom	5.30.21.0	15.9 MB
BIOS	Acer	1.13	2.3 MB

TouchPad: choose either ALPS or Synaptics, depending on what your unit has. Windows 7 also finds some basic drivers (Ethernet, audio) through Windows Update, so check there first.

Where to Find the Files Now

Since Acer removed the originals, these third-party sources currently list drivers for this model. Always compare the file name and version with the tables above, and scan every download with an antivirus before running it.

Safety tips for old drivers: download only from pages that show the exact model and version, avoid "driver updater" programs and installers that bundle extra software, and prefer plain driver packages (.zip / .exe from the original vendor such as Realtek, Atheros or Intel). If you are unsure about a file, skip it.

Recommended Installation Order

Chipset (Intel): restart when asked.
VGA (Intel graphics): restart. Without it the screen will not use the native 1024 × 600 resolution.
LAN and Wireless LAN: so you can get online for the remaining items.
Audio (Realtek).
TouchPad (Synaptics or ALPS): enables scrolling and gestures.
Card reader, Camera and Bluetooth: only if your unit has them.
BIOS: optional, and only if you know you need it. See the warning below.

BIOS warning: Flashing a BIOS on a netbook this old is risky. A power cut during the update can leave it unbootable. Only do it with a fully charged battery and the charger connected, and only if you have a real problem that the update fixes.

Common Problems and Fixes

Screen stuck at a low resolution or looks stretched

The Intel graphics driver is missing. Install the chipset driver first, then the VGA driver, then restart.

Wi-Fi is not detected

You probably installed the wrong wireless driver. Check the Hardware ID (Step 1) and install the one that matches Atheros, Broadcom or Intel.

Touchpad scrolling does not work

Install the Synaptics or ALPS package that matches your unit. If neither is recognized, check the Hardware ID again.

No sound

Install the Realtek audio driver, then check that the speakers are not muted in the volume mixer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Acer still provide drivers for the Aspire One D150?

No. The official Acer support site no longer offers working downloads for this model, which is why archived third-party copies are the only option.

Can I install Windows 10 on the Aspire One D150?

It is not supported. The Atom N270/N280, 1 GB of RAM in many units and the missing driver support make it impractical. Windows XP or Windows 7 (32-bit) is the realistic choice, or a lightweight Linux distribution for safer internet use.

Is it safe to use Windows XP online?

Microsoft ended support for Windows XP in 2014, so it no longer receives security updates. Use it offline or for legacy tasks only. Windows 7 also reached end of support in 2020.

Which wireless driver do I need?

It depends on the card inside your unit. Check the Hardware ID in Device Manager: VEN_168C is Atheros, VEN_14E4 is Broadcom and VEN_8086 is Intel.
