Batteries for portable computers are dead when you first start!

About 14 months ago I bought an ACER ASPIRE 6930 a Best Buy in the Canada. On the car driving home, I removed the laptop box, he turned and he began the installation of Windows Vista. The battery is dead (DOH!) until installation has been completed, and when I got home, I have plugged into the wall and tried to continue the installation/Setup program. The laptop does not start and Acer people said that I must refer to them (all the way to Texas) for redress. I asked my friend who is a technician to have a peek to see if he could solve the problem. He was able to successfully install Windows XP Pro on my laptop using a serial number provided by the college. After a year, the serial number being exhausted, and my office is now posted a message on the bottom right "you can be a victim of software counterfeiting." So my question is:

Is there a way I can install a version of Windows Vista (FREE) that was supposed to come with the laptop? I have my certificate of authenticity, serial numbers, etc. on a sticker on the bottom of my laptop. Can download the installation of Vista, then the installation files it will allow me to connect these information for a successful installation?

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide. This laptop uses an Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 (2.0 GHz L2 cache memory, 800 MHz FSB, 2 MB). If I remember correctly, it was a version of Vista 64-bit.

How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

There is no Vista free download legal available.

https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

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...

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.

Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

They will tell you how to do this.

Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making 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

    This happens usually when you have several choices

  • Error message: "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows that you are using", when you try to run an old ms - based back program in Win-7 Ultimate 64 bit.

    Original title: program compatibility Application Applications App Apps game games Legacy Crash crashes Hang hangs

    I get this message when you try to run an old MS-DOS - based program in Win-7 Ultimate 64-bit.

    "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Check your computer system information to see whether you need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher. »

    I understand that I am under a 64 bit OS, but is it possible to get this program to run? I was wondering if anyone has tips :)

    Hi Bcopeland,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    Based on the information, you are trying to install and use an old ms - dos program based in Windows-7 Ultimate 64-bit.

    The problem is a software that was created for Windows 95, 98, and Windows XP has no way to work correctly with an operating system that didn't even exist when the software was written. However, the error message you get normally means that you have a 32-bit software that you are trying to install on a 64-bit system.

    You can check the compatibility of the program with Windows 7, in the Compatibility Center.

    Compatibility Center

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

    a. click right on the program.

    b. click Properties.

    c. click on the tab compatibility.

    d. Select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or whatever to use the system, the program was executed successfully.

    Here is an article that gives you more information on this:

    Make older programs in this version of Windows

    If the problem persists, you can get in touch with the software vendor to see for the latest version of the program to use the same system of 64-bit Windows 7.

    Hope the helps of information.

  • New Document window are missing when you open the new document, along with other menu items: object style, the effect controls panel, etc.

    Miss me a lot of items, it seems that in my InDesign program.  How can this be?  I'm taking a class at the local college (inDesign CS6), and when you go through the book and steps, I keep noticing that I'm missing things.  For example: when I open a new Document - No new window does not appear on my screen, and there is no way to change the page size, etc. that appears. (2.) there is no object Styles Panel - window > Styles > Styles object - but the option object Styles does not exist.  3.) there are no available effects Panel, either. As I continue the race, things keep getting showing like that.  What is going on?  I do not have something wrong; My instructor verified that indeed these things seem to be missing.  I bought the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium disc for Windows operating system.  Help, please!

    I had problems to install the drive, but thanks to someone in the forum, I have put everything on the desktop and installed in this way.  What why what is happening?

    In fact, you must return to the extensions Manager in all cases and make sure that all of the Adobe extensions are checked on.
