Hello

It would be very improper for any Windows operating system to does not support optical drives, especially if the laptop comes with Vista in the first place. So I'm afraid you've been misinformed. However, this link can help you to solve the problem...

  • Just get black screen on Acer Aspire 7520

    I'm looking for a solution for this problem for almost 3 months now. My Aspire 7520 when tuned to just gives me a black screen. I took out the battery and held the power button down / stop and always the same. I also made sure that the fan has been free of dust and is runnig and I hear that it is trying to load, and now when I turn it off it is itself so I have to remove the battery all together.

    If you get either of the image on an external monitor, it could very well be a video card problem or a problem with the motherboard.  You should contact your local service centre Acer for assistance.

  • Acer aspire m1640 computer of office cannot recover from hard drive failure

    Hi, have a problem with my acer aspire m1640 computer to desktop running vista home premium. The hard drive failed completely, so I installed a new one, realizing I need a new operating system, I bought a new copy of vista Home premium (upgrade version) without license number the supplier told me that my original license number on the case of the m1640 would be ok. When I insert this disc I select cd/dvd-rom in the menu of the bios, enter the country and the language ect, support on continue, and I get a box on the screen saying, can not find the cd/dvd rom drivers. also my new hard drive is not displayed in the bios boot options. I'm starting to think that maybe I need the full version of vista. some advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Michael

    You should contact Acer and purchase their part back the Vista Home Premium Upgrade recovery media to your provider who gave you the wrong information anyway. You will not be able to use Vista Home Premium Upgrade with the product key on your computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Acer Aspire 8943 G Touchpad does not, the updated driver is installed

    I instaled and uninstalled it a dozen times, used system restore and cannot get the touchpad to work Acer Aspire 8943 G, please can any one help?

    Something strange happened. It would not work no matter what I tried. I was watching a movie on KODI formerly XBMC. I accidentally hit the keyboard and the mouse moved. I pressed the video button and it lit up. The only thing I can find is that it took several hours for updated driver to work, or the video triggered the Touchpad.

    I uninstalled and deleted all instances of the driver including the reserved system created by a MS Tech backup when my Windows Ultimate has become corrupt. Initially, it was Win-7 Edition Home Premium and when it would not install IE10 when MS gave me a free upgrade to Ultimate.Even then it took a week to finally get installed IE10 because the computer did not have Service Pack 1. Congratulations to MS Techs, they called me several times and worked on my computer. Him spoke excellent English and are based in India. Computer laptop is out of warranty and Acer said enough so be it, I have to pay. MS did not charge me a dime.

  • Acer aspire switch 10F / I don't see hard drive

    Hi, today I got a new acer aspire switch 10F. I live in Poland, but I bought the acer in the United Kingdom.

    So I turn on the acer and I see acer have 10 windows. I check 'This PC' and I do not see a HARD 500 G 0.o disk, only 32GB. I thought I have a version without the HARD drive, but have all versions. The keyboard/dock is heavy, so I think that hdd is in the keyboard, but windows can't see HDD.

    This is screen printing:

    In disk management.

    Maybe I don't have some drivers?

    Please help than kyou

    Hello

    Yes, yours is not equipped with a HARD drive. Last year, I have evaluated a similar model (only 32 GB mem) and have not found the dock Ko was very heavy. The message, in my view, that it comes to USB ports (e.g. plugged USB flash drive).
