Acer Windows 7 upgrade kit does NOT work!
Hi I have an Acer Aspire 5538 (4 GB of RAM and 220 GB of memory) I'm trying to upgrade to Windows (vista and both are family premium). I read elsewhere on the site that someone had the same problem as me and earasing everything on computer seemed to have worked according to your suggestions (so I did and put everything on my USB). Later, I used the "dics ghost" factory, which deletes the database from the computer to the factory settings. So I'm trying to upgrade and the first CD has worked well "Acer upgrade disc. Now, when I put in the second one it says that my pc is not compatible, and that my pc must be x 86 (32-bit) or x 64 (64-bit). I went into the "system information", and it clearly states "x 86 based PC" until I do?. The second disk named: "Windows 7 upgrade media" does not work!
Even I am confused. Tell you what, download Windows 7 Home Premium. ISO image, burn it to a blank DVD and use your product key to install and activate it.
Windows 7 Edition Home Premium x 64 (64-bit)

Hello rockys_rod,
To fix it, simply remove your old library files. Then have Windows Media Player find your new files. It will not destroy your music files.
How to get WMP to re - index your music:
1. close Microsoft Media Player.
2. click on Start and then run
3. in the box, type the following:
[list] %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player4. click on OK and a folder containing your library files will be displayed
5. delete all files ending with .wmdb
6. open Microsoft Media Player
7. press F3
8. Select the addresses of your music files
9 WMP will re-index your music.If this does not help, try the FixIt in the article below:
KB Article ID: 947541 -Windows Media Player stops responding after you install a third-party product that registers its own version of the Wmp.dll filePlease reply back and let us know if this can help.
