• Acer Aspire 5100 Windows 8.1 problems (64-bit)

  Hello Acer users,.

  my mother has an Acer Aspire 5100 and is happy with it so far. I installed an SSD hard drive and Windows 64-bit from 8.1 to it (fresh). Now, she is very happy that the machine is very fast. Allthough there are new problems that accompanies the installation and I'm not happy with them. They are as follows (all drivers related questions I guess, no driver in Windows update or on Acer site):

  1 - memory card reader does not work and does not appear in the Explorer. Device manager shows 3 x peripheral problem which are the memory card reader. Which brand is?

  2 - WIFI does not work (says network adapter), have not yet tried to download and install the drivers from the website of Atheros, will try this next time I visit him. Poster 1 x peripheral problem device manager which I guess is the WIFI because the machine can access internet through wired adapter.

  3 - display is fixed (cannot be changed) at a resolution of 1024 x 768 and it can do better, but can not be changed. Downloaded and installed Catalys control center, but this has changed a lot and I do not see anywhere to change the resolution from there. Only several screens etc.

  4 - adapter displays in the Device Manager to 200M and it should be Ati Radeon Xpress 1100?

  But other than these problems, Windows 64-bit of 8.1 works great and especially with the SSD is very fast. And can recommend to you all =)

  Well, if you can help me on this issue. I guess that Acer can not make drivers before they get the manufacturers driver.

• Adapter Acer Aspire M1640 Vista drivers 6 to 4 errors

  Hello

  I'm new to the Forum of Acer.

  My friend has an Acer Aspire M1640 running Vista Home Edition. In the Manager of devices under network adapters, there are four errors "all starting with Microsoft 6to4 adapt." The NVIDIA card works very well and can get internet. I followed the instructions elsewhere on the internet and uninstalled the Microsoft 6to4 (error code 31) card and then re-installed the component inheritance. The alert has disappeared. So I tried to remove other 6to4 errors that were... #15, #18 and card 6to4 #5 6to4 adapter 6to4 card. When I rebooted the computer, all four were present once again with errors. I tried to update the drivers for all, but I was told that they were already up to date. I tried the system restore because she had removed a bunch of stuff before calling me but the system restore points do not go far enough to fix what she was doing. The computer is very slow start and freezes from time to time. Any suggestions?

  Hello!

  I uninstalled the network cards and I ran the utility of the seller and found nothing on the manufacturer of the wireless adapter. Then... I just reinstalled the NVIDIA LAN adapter that you provided and restarted the computer and found that the adapter 6to4 errors disappeared. My friend does not use wirless internet anyway.

  The computer always starts very slowly.

  I ran a scan disk to check the material difficulties and he fixed one error. But it always starts very slowly. Whether in safe mode or not.

  Something I noticed while working on his computer is there are three different 'control' programs on his computer. Realtek, ATI and NVIDIA. They are likely a problem or conflict?

  I'm not very tech savvy, but I try LOL

  Thank you for your patience and your help

• I have the product code on the back of my Acer Aspire 5100 but I lost the CD to reinstall Vista.

  I had problems with my laptop and it wiped off, but then I couldn't find the installation disc. Can I download Vista Online and use the product key on my laptop?

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
  Acer is Alt + F10

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  You can also make recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, when you are in service again.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  As stated above, it does not appear that this is on my computer. I am very confused because I have been asking this question for some time and received many answers, but none of them went around.

• track who enters vista login password on acer aspire laptop

  I have am acer aspire 5050-3371 laptop with windows vista and all available updates currently installed.  My problem is that whenever the battery is installed, you will need to press several times for the password several times before that they will appear on the password entry screen.  given that the actual characters do not show do not know if the correct letters are engtered.  In addition if I remove the battery from the laptop the problem goes away.  You can type the easiily password and the system accepts it.  I tried to get help this problm of the Technical Support desk with Acer was cut when they determned that the laptop was not under warranty.  Any ideas for solving this problem?

  My only suggestion is to go on the manufacturer's site and buy a replacement battery.
  The problem is: it could be a bad connection between the battery and the laptop, in which case, you could have bought a new battery for nothing.

  What would you say to consider in your RELIABLE local computer maintenance shop... do not take the "geek squad". For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.
