ACER Aspire R13 set up as an office

I just bought an ACER ASpire R13 at costco and I try to use as my office too.  I wanted to know what kind of equipment is recommended to do this, docking station, additional external hard drive, etc. and tips/advice on the implementation.

I'd start withMediasonic docking station, external keyboard, mouse/trackball. Burner DVD BluRay USB, GB external drive for backup, two monitors 24 "and a line wired gigabit. That's what I have.

    I made a huge mistake and clicked on the link to get Windows 10.  After you have installed Windows 10, I realized that the Office Starter Edition on my Acer Aspire One is not compatible.  I started Windows 7 but now Office Starter will not work.  I try to fix but get a message that says I don't have an internet connection.  Yes!

  • Acer Aspire R13 problems active Pen (R7 - 371T).

    I bought a new R13 Aspire, with recommended acer active pen for this model. Touchpad is flicky and wobbles in his laptop computer screen resolution (very unpleasant to use) place and brightness are great and it is very sensitive to the touch of the finger and capacitive pens.
    However when I use the active stylus, it works very well for about 5 minutes and then it starts to jump and jump and then the pen stops working. After a reboot, pen starts to work, but same thing happens. When I pass the pen on the screen he sees clearly, but the movement is not smooth, in the same way, when I use the stylus to draw he jumps and jumps a lot. I calibrated my monitor and the problem still persists.

    Also ACER calls for the rejection of palm, and palm rejection does NOT at all.

    Anyone had the same problems? or your active pen works perfectly, I can't determine if the problem I have is from the pen or screen.

    Any suggestions? or comments?

    I sent my camera previous back and got a new one from microsoftstore. It seems that the problems I had were specific unit. This new one works fine, the touchpad in the last laptop has obviously had a physical since problem she wavered and has not identified any multi-geste.

    I'm happy with this one, it has a pilot updated synaptics, not the most recent one (there is a new Synaptics driver on the Acer site for this laptop that does not yet install) but it works.

    Contacted technical support and asked why not install updates it seems that this model is still a work in progress. They are updating the drivers, software managments power etc.

    Pen Active Acer works very well in ONENOTE, because the application rejects touch capacitive and works only with the participation of digitizer. but in the other Palm apps rejection does not work. I'll trade my pen as well and see if the problem is with the pen or not.

  • Acer Aspire R13 backlight keyboard issues

    I got the R13 Aspire (317 t) a few days before, and while I really enjoy there are some problems with the keyboard.

    The first is that is it possible to completely disable the backlight on the keyboard?  I'm tired of having to manually use the function keys to activate if off every time, I opened the lid.  This would be as much of a problem if he was not the second question.

    Secondly, when the backlight is completely upward, there is a high-pitched hum coming from the speakers.  I found a couple other posts that have the same problem but I don't know if this is a fault or a problem that can be fixed.

    I like much this laptop, but these keyboard problems are starting to make me think that I need to return it.

    Thank you.

    jjsmall009,

    As far as the backlight goes, no, you can use the buttons to turn off every time.

    If you experience any his pitch high only when the backlight is at its maximum intensity we have our repair technicians watch the device for you if you wish.

  • Hi, install SSD on Acer Aspire VN7 - 591 G-70RT and setting for the primary boot device?

    Hello

    I have an Acer Aspire VN7 - 591 G-70RT that came with a Western Digital blue 5400 RPM HARD drive which is limitation of my performance of laptops. I contacted Acer recently to ask for upgrades that might be made and they confirmed that I could build an SSD 256 GB and up to 16 GB of ram.

    I bought an SSD now and install, but I wanted to ask how I could continue on the definition of the SSD as my main drive.

    At this point, I guess I could install the SSD, then select it as primary boot device in the BIOS by pressing F2, and then install windows 10 via my USB. If this should be good to reboot or the existence of windows on my current HARD drive causes a conflict?

    Thank you

    I have the device works now and here's what I did.

    WEAR AN ANTI STATIC BAND:

    Step 1) remove all the screws on the underside of the laptop

    Step 2) use spudger or credit GENTLY lift a gap between the keyboard and the base, then use the credit card to slide slowly into the space to jump open clips, NOT FORCE.

    Step 3) (OPTIONAL) remove the keyboard connectors by moving clip and gently remove the cable from the Jack. However the HARD drive slipped in for me without necessary to detach.

    Step 4) unplug original WD HDD blue reversing the clip and disconnect the cable

    Step 5) close laptop together and boot with Windows 10 USB install

    Step 6) install windows on new SSD (for me windows automatically activated via the BIOS/UEFI) if it doesn't happen for you, simply re-attatch the original HARD disk.

    Step 7) if the activation is successful, again set HARD drive and original format. I have kept all the original ACER RECOVERY and Partitions (Healthy) in case I need to restore factory default, but formatted primary partition.

  • Cannot change scroll setting reverse two fingers on Acer Aspire Synaptics ClickPad V8.1

    Hello

    I just got an Acer Aspire (excellent camera) with the intuitive two fingers scrolling on the Synaptics ClickPad V8.1, so I tried to reverse the trend. I went to the Synaptics Touchpad settings and then went to the settings on two fingers scrolling, but could only check/uncheck the first two above (select vertical and horizontal allow)-the rest was just gray and could not be clicked.
    Did everything back to default and even created new profiles to see if I could change it then, but nothing helps. I may not have rights (Administrator) to change? Before I installed Windows 8 running.
    Please advise and thank the community in advance.
    Concerning
    Marco

    I found the resolution on a post about another Acer laptop model.  It is real simple but I had technical support at acer ready to elevate my status of support at level-2.

    1.) Control Panel > hardware and sound > mouse

    2.) on 'device settings' tab, click 'Settings' button

    3.) under 'Extra features', uncheck the option 'Zoom perfect.'

    What are the features were previously unavailable for the setting (for example two fingers to scroll, Pinch Zoom, etc.) are now available to be adjusted.

  • 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!

  • New portable printer HP2540/301 Acer Aspire 1 has no disk drive and a silly user. Help, please...

    I bought myself a nice 5240 again 301 printer all-in-on Wednesday.

    Since then, I have made that fight with him since then.

    My laptop is an Acer Aspire one, one of the smallest, which unfortunately doesn't have a hard drive in it. My first thought went to download drivers. The web page did not work and I realized then, that, without the user manual (which I think is on the disc), I'm totally lost.

    If someone could please help me.

    I made an impression that says.

    Check your network printer name HP (SSID) corresponds exactly to your router (SSID) wireless network name.

    If they do not exactly match, run set up the printer software to set up your HP printer wireless.

    I guess that's the software on the drive. Is it possible to download the software online?

    Any help would be accepted with gratitude that I have no idea what I'm doing atm. I just starting to learn how to properly use Windows 8 atm, so far my computer all skills hass been how to open a browser and an office.

    Thank you.

    I would add also, I downloaded the application too, but which does not recognize that there is a printer at all.

  • Built in mic on acer aspire one does not

    The microphone on my acer aspire one netbook does not work. I am running windows XP on the netbook and had this problem once before some time back, but can't remember what the person tech told me to uninstall that does the job all of a sudden again. I use also the audio if it helps Realtek HD. I tried several times to update the drivers and reinstall the software from the acer site, it does not work... any suggestions?

    I see that you are facing problems with the built-in microphone.

    Let's not worry! I'm here to help.

    Quick questions:

    1. what exactly happens when you use the built-in microphone? You receive an error message?

    2. What is the status of the device in Device Manager?

    (b) click on sounds, click on the recording tab.

  • Cannot enter BIOS or Option of Boot to display on my desktop Acer Aspire M3450

    For the last few days I tried to access in the BIOS or The Boot Options screen by pressing the keys with " DEL " for BIOS and ' F12 ' to The Boot Options screen. Same pressing down both keys on my keyboard and switch to normal startup with Windows 10 logo screen and then type password. I'm sure you know that this office is not supported for parameters of the UEFI. I tried with Settings\Update and Security-Advanced Options- then have 6 names on the double column , but I'm not sure that one to take to solve the problem. Here are the 6 names below:

    System restore

    System Image recovery

    Startup Repair

    Command prompt

    Startup parameters

    Go back to the previous version

    Everything what I wan tis to solve two things by pressing the ekys for BIOS and the Boot Options screen. That's all that I need it. Or I need to reinstall the entire disk operating system Microsoft Windows 10 Home Premium 64?   Either way, my computer's desktop Acer Aspire M3450 game.

    Thank you

    John

    It's a good thing I do not get out the my desktop's CMOS battery. Someone I know told me I 'Try to change the keyboard' Guess - it works now. The USB keyboard that I just bought does not work so I went back to the wireless keyboard that I used all the time. So now my problem is solved.

    Can I ask a question - why doesn't the USB keyboard support to accept that I press the key after the reboot for BIOS or Boot Display Options? Hope that someone here in this forum will answer for that.

    Thank you

    Hello, user of instant messaging of Acer Aspire ES1-331. I've used it since February 2016 with Windows 8.1

    For a long time, quick access Acer and Acer Bluelight shield worked properly but a few days ago something happened and: WiFi sharing option disappeared (it was under "Rozruch do Desktop") AQA and it has become impossible put absolute earlier when I turned it on or off, it happened immediately. Now, some points will for a few seconds and I get this:

    It means: "you can not control the device. the same thing happens when I change the intensity of the APA - nothing changes, however she can write that it has changed. 'High' level is activated on the display, but you see that it is a lie. I use it on the Admin account of course.

    I reinstalled quick access Acer but nothing has changed and I can't use Acer Bluelight shield.
    The rest of the Acer access options fast work (Wifi and Bluetooth).

    Thanks for reading!

    Don't know why it happened, but you can try the rotation system to a job previously set up. Try the steps to do this back in http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/37096/~/windows-10%3A-restore-windows-from-a-restor.... If Windows updates run before what happens something could have installed that caused this. Restaurant back like this should solve the problem.
