• I need help with my acer aspire one ZG8

  I bought an acer aspire one ZG8 at a yard sale.  It powers on, but he seems to have no partitions.  My guess is that the former owner accidentally deleted the hidden partition.  I tried to install xp on it, but after that it is a preliminary Installation, it goes to the blue screen of death.  Help me. What can I do?  Do not have money to pay someone to fix it.

  Hello

  · What error message and the error code are you getting?

  As you get the blue screen during the installation of Windows, the problem is related to the material. I suggest you to replace the RAM sticks on the computer and check if it helps.

• WINDOWS 7 STARTER/ACER ASPIRE ONE UPDATE HELP

  I have a brand new Acer Aspire One Netbook.  It is brand new, so after I did the initial installation for the new netbook, Windows 7 is an update.  When the update is complete, it blocks my netbook.  I get a black screen and a cursor only.  The only way I can fix it is to restore back to the factory and start all over again.  Anyone know why this is happening or that updates 62 is the cause? I basically can't update my OS until it is fixed or know where it is and it can check the updated list.

  You say you have 62 updates. The only true way to know what update is the cause of the problem is by installing one at a time.

  I was looking especially the optional updates as shows drivers etc. If you are offered drivers, you should consult the manufacturer's website to see if indeed you really need the updated drivers.

• You try to reset the Acer Aspire One mini computer laptop to the factory settings (xp)

  I have a mini-netbook Acer Aspire One with Windows XP. There is no CD drive.

  I enabled d2d in bios menu, and then click Restart I use the alt + f10 as instructed, Nothing helps - it creates is a horrible beep or mark a break on a mainly black frozen screen and a few small images scrambled to the top.

  I bought only the laptop computer 2nd hand and I fear there may be spyware on it - it does not open programs such as Acer eRecovery Management or AVG 8.5. And due to the fact he does not allow me to use google chrome/firefox, but a somewhat obscure version of Internet Explorer.

  With these factors, a reset to factory settings is my best result and what id prefer.

  I want to reset it to factory settings. Help, please

  Hey Vinny,

  I suggest that contact you Acer for help on this one.

• Reinstall Windows 7 Starter Acer Aspire One D257

  I have an Acer Aspire One D257. It has no built in DVD / Draw.  It came pre-installed with "windows 7 starter" I don't have a disc of recovery etc for this program. Last year I used widows any time upgrade to install "windows 7 Home premium upgrade," which has been installed via the internet by a Microsoft technician. Then I had the upgrade key sent to me by e-mail, what's left.  Later, I had problems with the computer and decided to windows 7 from re - stall. I visited the Microsoft site and downloaded the program on a USB Home premium windows 7 (32-bit).  I have this installed successfully in the D257 of Acer. But I was unable to activate with my key upgrade Windows 7 Home premium, for some reason any he does not accept it?  So now that I have a dilemma, I have a key that has cost about £76,00 for the upgrade that seems unnecessary.  Also, I am unable to revert to the original "windows 7 starter", as the system restore will allow me only to come back to a point in time that is after I installed windows 7 about 2 weeks ago. How can I fix this without having to buy another program again. P.S. I use an external DVD draw if I need. Can anyone help please.

  Original title: bobgoodman1706

  Hi thanks for the info. Unfortunately, the recovery was wiped out when I installed the new windows 7. However, I have now solved the problem by buying a new product key that has been a success so now have windows 7 home premium installed and fully active. Thanks to everyone who tried to help me.

  Hello

  I would suggest trying the following steps and check.

  a. turn off the laptop completely.

  b. remove the battery from the bottom.

  c. leave the battery of the laptop for 5-10 minutes.

  d. plug the adapter into the laptop (still remove the battery).

  e. turn on the system and let it fully boot in Windows.

  f. once it arrives on the desktop to launch all startup items. In other words, do not interrupt the boot process until everything is prepared.

  g so go ahead and shut down the computer normally (using the START > turn off computer method).

  h. once the system is turned off, plug the battery back in and turn on the computer.

  For reference:

• Windows 7 will not update on an Acer Aspire One 722

  Hello, I have an Acer Aspire One 722 - A0722 - 64-Bit - I used the laptop and installed Windows 10 on it and it came to a crawl.  I decided to reset the computer to factory settings.  He succeeded, however, I can not install the updates of Windows.  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1.

  I tried to install updates for the first time without success and tried all the solutions I could find online.  I searched through forum after forum and tried all of the solutions that I found and not luck.  I installed several downloads, as recommended by Microsoft and not solutions.  I had subsequently to error code 8008005 and 0x8024402C and 0x8024001e.  I tried again the solutions and nothing has worked.  Most of the downloads that I did from herre: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows.aspx

  I finally install CCleaner and updated to Explorer 11 I downloaded directly from the Microsoft Web site.  Who succeeded.  Nothing else has.

  So, I wiped out the computer again and reset to factory settings and am at square one.  I installed NOTHING else at this point expect try Windows updates.  All I get is the progress monitor to continue to operate.  It was 'running' and research updates for nearly 30 hours and nothing.  It still reads ' check for Updates ' and nothing else.

  Any help would be appreciated as I know what else to try.  This seems to be a common problem with no real solution at this moment that my search Google told me.

  Two screenshots are below.  Thank you for any help or advice.  At this point, the computer is basically unusable and it's very frustrating.  I spent hours and hours and hours and nothing.

  Thank you all and well be.    Brad

  Login as an administrator.

  Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
  on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
  is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
  will update the driver stack.

  Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
  software (if not more recent get the same).

  Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook. (No DVD player). From the start on the hard drive, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor.

  I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook.  (No DVD player).  From the start on the hard drive, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor.  The cursor does not type.  For me, maybe I need to reinstall windows 7 and startup tasks are corrupt.  I have my product key genuine for the computer, but no way to get to windows.  How to restore windows on a netbook that won't start?

  original title: Netbook Windows 7 problem

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  Borrow a 32 bit Genuine Windows 7 friends DVD disc if you know someone who has one.

  Make an image of the DVD, you can use a program like ISO Recorder to do.
  http://alexfeinman.com/

  If you don't have a Windows 7 DVD to borrow, try to upload a picture:

  32 bit
  http://MSFT-DNL.digitalrivercontent.NET/msvista/pub/X15-65732/X15-65732.ISO

  You change the content of the. ISO file and delete the ei.cfg file. After having edited burn it to a blank DVD disc or put it on a USB key. Startup, it will reveal all editions of Windows 7, select the Starter edition. More information in the following article on how to change the file ei.cfg
